Pre-school Programme
We have loads of fun sports and activities across Aberdeen to get your babies, toddlers and little ones active! Choose from swimming, gymnastics, ice skating, ski, snowboarding or tennis.
Getting involved in sport at a young age can be beneficial to your child’s development by teaching them the fundamentals of movement and fitness as well as helping them on the way to learn important life skills like teamwork, resilience and leadership.

GymBabies (3 months – walking)
Gym Babies is an introductory movement class for your child. Our coaches will use age appropriate activities which promote cruising, crawling and eventually that ever elusive first step. As an active adult participant in the class, you will be there every “step” of the way as your child builds motor skills and co-ordination on the gym equipment (trampoline and soft play mats), learns through music, sensory props, and enjoys social time all in a safe, clean nurturing environment
KinderGYM (walking – 3.5 years)
These classes provide a safe, fun environment where your child can be active and explore the fundamentals of movement. In this class, the child works directly with their parent/guardian, alongside the coaches who will guide the floor and apparatus activities using music and songs.
Pre-school (3.5 – 5 years)
Children attend these classes independently to learn fundamental skills of movement and basic gymnastics techniques. The coaches will guide children in the use of a range of rebound and climbing apparatus, as well as more challenging hand apparatus and movement to music.
