4-5 Year Old Classes

Independent Learning

Your child learns independently under the expert guidance of their coach. On each apparatus we plan for the sequential learning of gymnastics skills, with a focus on improved technique.

Physical Literacy

Beyond teaching gymnastics, we program to improve your child’s fundamental motor skills, the basis for success in the playground and participation in all sports!

School Readiness

We build on skills such as following instructions, maintaining focus and working cooperatively in a structured group setting.

Resilience

It is not always easy to master new skills! We encourage each child to have the confidence to "give things a try," and to keep working towards success!

"Waverley Gymnastics has been an incredible experience for our family. The staff go above and beyond to ensure every child feels confident, safe, and supported.

What truly sets them apart is their neuro-affirming approach to teaching, coaches are empathetic, patient, and deeply attuned to the individual needs of each child. They create an environment where kids are not only encouraged to grow physically but also emotionally.

It’s clear they genuinely care about the wellbeing of every gymnast. We’ve seen our child’s confidence blossom thanks to the supportive and inclusive culture at Waverley. Highly recommend to any family looking for a nurturing and professional gymnastics community."

"Waverley Gymnastic Centre has been an incredible journey for my son, Eric, spanning two years since he was three. The instructors are truly amazing, infusing each session with a perfect blend of fun and discipline, fostering a genuine love for gymnastics.

Eric's progress, from basic tumbling to advanced routines, reflects the program's commitment to a strong foundation and steady improvement. Safety is paramount, with meticulous attention to detail, providing parents like me peace of mind.
