KidzGym - a place for active youngsters

Do you have pre-schoolers? Are they climbing the rafters at home?
Do you have a timid child who could benefit from building confidence and abilities in a safe environment?
A child who would love to have fun with other kids and try new things together?
With Playgym classes no longer running; the Stratford Gymnastics Club is seeking a group of parents to start up new classes for pre-schoolers in Term 3.
Two enthusiastic mums are already onboard but they are hoping to find some other adults to share the load.
Both know gymnastics will be fantastic for their pre-schoolers; as they want them to learn and improve skills such as balance and co-ordination, to develop their confidence and body awareness and to have fun with other kids.
If KidzGym gets enough parents to help, it will be held at the TET MutliSports Centre, in the gymnastics hall.
Sessions will have a framework without pushing the kids to do activities they don't want to.
There will be an expectation the children will all have an adult with them at all times helping, watching and having fun with them.
You may be able to help run sessions every now and then or be able to help set up and pack up equipment or greet people and take money as they come in the door or be able to give us ideas to help us start out in a great way.
Adults willing to help don't need to have experience, just common-sense.
Any contribution will get us closer to starting up KidzGym in Stratford.
The Stratford Gymnastics Club has arranged for a New Zealand Gymnastics Coach to run a short course in Stratford on Thursday 17th June, 9am-12am, to give us confidence and skills in pre-school gymnastics.
Anyone can do this course; whether you do this to help make KidzGym a reality or just so that you can have more knowledge for yourself when playing with your own children.
Your child, together with other children, will be developing confidence and so many new skills whilst having heaps of fun! Come on!
Lets make this a TEAM effort: Together Everyone Achieves More! This opportunity may require one or two hours of your time a month, whilst reaping more benefits than you can imagine for your child(ren's) development and that of other young Stratford families.
We are optimistic that KidzGym will start the first Friday of next term, 9.30am-10.30am, at the TET MultiSports Centre – provided the support is there.
If you want to offer to help or just attend the course, please ring Bronwyn 765 8430 or Marika 765 8084.
