Gymnastics Coaching

 If your child is of walking age and under 3 years old, they should be in our adult and child class, Rise Gymnastics Tots. If your child is pre-school aged 3-5, they should be in Rise Gymnastics Discover. School-aged children can either be in Rise Gymnastics Explore or Rise Gymnastics Excel (this will be determined by their current gymnastics ability level).

Rise Gymnastics Tots is Fife Sports and Leisure Trust’s new adult and child gymnastics class for children from walking age to 3 years old. In this class, each child will work with an adult to sing along to songs, play games, and go on a fun gymnastics adventure.

Rise Gymnastics Discover is aimed at pre-school children aged 3 – 5 years. In this class, children will experience gymnastics through imaginative play and work towards earning certificates and medals through the Rise Discover Award Scheme.

Rise Gymnastics Explore is designed for school-aged children. In this programme, gymnasts focus on building confidence and skills in three key areas: core skills, teamwork, and working with apparatus. Children can earn certificates and medals through the Rise Explore Award Scheme.

Rise Gymnastics Excel is aimed at school-aged children who have advanced skills. Gymnasts at this stage focus on building confidence and skills in four key areas: core skills, teamwork, working on small apparatus, and working on large apparatus. Children can earn certificates and medals through the Rise Excel Award Scheme.

Yes, Rise Gymnastics is designed to be inclusive. The content can be adapted as necessary to help children achieve their potential. If your child has additional needs or requirements, please contact the Junior Activities Team at junioractivities@fifeleisure.org.uk.

The venues currently delivering Rise Gymnastics are Dalgety Bay Sports and Leisure Centre, Duloch Leisure Centre, Kirkcaldy Leisure Centre, Levenmouth Swimming Pool and Sports Centre, and Michael Woods Sports and Leisure Centre (Glenrothes). More venues may be added in the future as the programme grows. 

To enrol your child in a Rise Gymnastics course, please contact reception or visit in person. If a space is unavailable at the time of enquiry, you will be added to the course waiting list.

We kindly ask you to submit your payment on time to avoid disruptions to your class. Payment can be made in person at the venue or by card payment over the telephone. If we do not receive payment before the due date, we will release your committed space from our programme. We therefore request your support to ensure payment is made on time. 

There is no definitive timeline for progress as every child develops differently. Your child will be continuously assessed by our coaches in line with the Rise Gymnastics Award Scheme. When the time is right, your child will be invited to move on to the next stage of their learning. 

Our instructors will continually assess your child using a predetermined list of skills provided by British Gymnastics. To pass a skill, your child must successfully demonstrate it to the instructor on three separate occasions. To pass an overall stage of the Rise Gymnastics Award scheme, your child will have to successfully pass a set number of skills. For example, to pass the Rise Gymnastics Discover 1, learners must complete 12 of 16 skills.
