Gymnastics Coaching and Courses

Our coached Gymnastics classes are open to boys and girls and work mainly on beam, bars, floor and vault skills unless attending a discipline specific class.

All children start at Entry Stage where they master the basic skills and move up through Stages 1-4 as they become competent in the skills for that stage. If they have previous gymnastics experience, they might be invited for a skills assessment and be directed to a more suitable stage. 

We have a small number of Boys’ classes at Tumbles at Portobello which also work on Men’s Artistic skills and equipment.

Our pre-school Gym Nippers programme can be found here.

Children’s progress is monitored against the Edinburgh Leisure competencies and you can keep track via our Coaching Home Portal.  

Find the right class

Please book into our Entry Stage class if your child is new to our gymnastics programme, or has had a break and is in Primary 1 or above. Even if they have done some gymnastics before, our coaches will assess all new children coming into these classes and will recommend the correct class for them to move to if appropriate.

If your child has had significant recent experience please book in for a Gymnastics Assessment. Please note this is assessment is NOT for Beginners.
