North Leeds Gymnastics Academy Community Club Reward Scheme
As a means of showing your child's progression and having fun, we work a scheme of development integrated into our classes and lesson plans, that our experienced coaches produced specifically for your children.
Our scheme provides a variety of skills for each gymnast to practice and enjoy using floor, vault, beam and bars. At every level there are 30 skills to learn and explore and once a child has achieved a good quality standard there is the option to purchase a reward (Rosette & Certificate) before moving onto the next, more challenging level.
Once your child has passed the award you will receive a slip detailing the badge gained and the cost of purchasing the badge. Don't forget every child is different and progress at different levels so some children will take longer than others.

Illness or Injury
Gymnastics is a very demanding sport. If your child is under the weather it will not be enjoyable or more importantly safe for your child to take part. Please rest them and aid the recovery process.
If your child has sustained an injury please inform the head coach and then a joint decision can be made on the best course of action.
Should your child sustain an injury whilst at the club you will be informed on collection unless the incident is of a more serious nature in which case we will endeavour to contact you immediately.
