Dynamics Gymnastics - Linton

|
Dynamics Gymnastics – Linton classes give gymnasts the opportunity to experience General Gymnastics. General Gymnastics is a British Gymnastics discipline that encourages gymnasts to learn a variety of low level skills from other British Gymnastics disciplines such as Artistic Gymnastics, Acrobatic Gymnastics, Trampoline Gymnastics and Rhythmic Gymnastics. At Linton we have access to a floor area, boxes, a trampette, 2 bars, benches, 2 trampolines and a full size beam. During the classes, gymnasts progress towards achieving badges 8 – 1 of the British Gymnastics Proficiency Award Scheme followed by the Dynamics Gymnastics Award Scheme. Gymnasts demonstrating particular potential in these classes will be offered the opportunity to join the Friday Cambridge 5 - 7pm Dynamics Gymnastics class as a transition to potentially joining a local competition club. When
are the classes? Classes
run on Mondays as follows: 4.30 – 5.30pm: Boys and girls aged 4 - 5 years 5.30
- 6.30pm: Beginner and improving boys and girls aged 6 - 8 years 6.30 – 7.30pm: Beginner boys and girls aged 9+ and experienced gymnasts Where are the classes? The
classes are at the new Linton Village College gymnasium.
Occasionally, classes occur in the Linton Village Sports Centre
on the school site. Linton
Village College can be found at the beginning of the village on the left
hand side if approaching on the A1307 from Cambridge and at the end of
the village on the right hand side if approaching on the A1307 from
Haverhill. The car park can
be found at the bottom of the main driveway. How
much does it cost? The
cost is currently £45 a term for 10 sessions.
An additional annual fee of £15.00 is collected every July to cover Dynamics Gymnastics affiliation fees which are used to cover
insurance requirements. Fees
are due at the beginning of each new term either in the form of a lump
sum or two cheques, one post dated for half term. What
do gymnasts wear? We simply ask that gymnasts wear sports clothing that allows for freedom of movement. To minimise potential hazards, however, we do request that gymnasts' clothing is buckle, clasp and zip free and not so loose that it could catch on apparatus or a coach. Leotards are obviously suitable as are well fitted t-shirts, shorts, leggings etc. Gymnasts are asked to participate in bare feet or gymnastics slippers, remove any jewellery and tie long hair back. We do offer a range of club clothing, including a leotard, t-shirt and girl's shorts but these are not compulsory. How do I register?At the current time all Dynamics Gymnastics – Linton classes are full and have waiting lists in place. To register your child on the waiting list, please contact us by using the details on the Contact Us page. We will need to know the potential gymnast’s name, date of birth, prior experience and will need as many contact details as possible. Please provide an e-mail if at all possible as this is the quickest and cheapest way to communicate. Please note, although we don't start gymnasts until they are 4 its is advisable to add future gymnasts to the waiting list by their 3rd birthday. |
