Try It Out Classes
Has your child wanted to try gymnastics and you are apprehensive about signing up for a term as you are unsure if they will like it? Try it outs are the perfect way to introduce children to gymnastics! Gymnastics teaches the fundamental movement and sports skills that are at the core of every other sport. Fundamental movement skills include skills like climbing, swinging, balancing and landing. It develops the ABCs of athleticism: agility, balance, coordination and speed.Children can swing on the bars, jump on the trampoline, learn a cartwheel or a handstand! Artistic gymnastics is an amazing sport to be involved in, whether you are a beginner or a gymnast with previous experience, come and see what Kilkenny Gymnastics Academy has to offer in our fantastic facility. All try it out classes operate on a drop and go basis.

Camps cater for children aged 4 to 15 years of age from beginners to experienced gymnasts. For beginners camps are a great way to have fun and to try the wonderful sport of gymnastics out. For experienced gymnasts camps are a great way to get that extra bit of training in to help improve their skill level and work to get closer to achieving their gymnastics goals!
Camp begins with a group warm up and stretch to prepare the gymnasts for the day ahead where they will work on Floor, Vault, Bars, Beam and Fast Track (trampoline).
