Why is gymnastics important for children?
The development of confident and competent movers is the most important outcome for physical education.
Research tells us that children who have developed competency in fundamental movement skills are far more likely to participate in sport and recreation throughout their life and will have reduced obesity risk.
There are also positive links between fundamental movement skills and a child’s social skills, self-esteem and academic performance.
Gymnastics can play a very important role in developing movement competence in children.

Gymnastics develops fundamental movement skills, increases confidence and competence and promotes healthy participation in physical activity. It keeps you fit and provides you with the skills of control, flexibility and strength.
Is your kid keen to be a gymnast?
Do they just want to try a weekly class, or do they want to train regularly and compete? Take this all into account when choosing a class, as it may mean considering a location that is further away.
Gymnastics clubs vary, but usually, classes are grouped by age, and as your child progresses in the sport, she/he will later be grouped by ability level.
First, find a local gymnastics club in your area.
All clubs that are members of Singapore Gymnastics, the governing body of gymnastics in Singapore, have met the requirements for the standard of care and child safety, along with coaching expertise and have pledged to follow Singapore Gymnastics’ Code of Ethics.
