Recreation Classes

Here at Olympia Gymnastic Sports we have something for everyone - from beginners through to competitive pathways.

The sport of gymnastics provides gymnasts with many opportunities to develop socially in a healthy, disciplined and fun environment. The skills learnt are invaluable lifelong skills and are transferable into many other sporting codes.

There is no barrier to participating as here at Olympia we offer a full recreation and competitive pathway that everyone can enjoy at their level of achievement.  It is the process/participation, and not necessarily the outcomes, that determine success and personal achievement.
