Welcome to the wonderful world of gymnastics and its related sports. Our structured circuit based programmes will delight and challenge whilst teaching the fundamental physical skills required for today’s children. The development of awareness and competency with the dominant movement patterns is the focus of our programmes and we approach this from a philosophical frame work consisting of fun, fitness and learning the fundamentals of gymnastics.
Our programmes are designed to suit all ages:
Have a Go Sessions (Preschool, Primary School or High School): This is a one-off visit to our facility for a "Have A Go" gymnastics experience on our comprehensive range of gymnastics apparatus, under our professional coaches strict supervision.

For over 2 decades, CSG has delivered more gymnastics to school groups than any other club in New Zealand. The Ministry of Education and SPARC encourages schools to become a physically active community through regular, enjoyable and well planned physical activity programmes. A high quality physical education programme not only improves physical health, but also enhances social, interpersonal and academic development. Schools can provide more and superior physical activity opportunities for their students when they share the responsibility with other organisations such as other schools, clubs and community organisations. Our school gymnastics programme is based on a general gymnastic approach that is fun, challenging and fundamental for a child's growth and development. Our specially trained staff present a programme which provides a sound basis for further skill development across all aspects of the physical education programme.
