There’s a class to suit every age and ability, from toddlers to adults.
The Junior Gymnastics programme (previously Kiwi GymFun) is designed to teach a foundation in all gymnastic codes that we offer, in a graduated, enjoyable way. This includes basics in artistic gymnastics, trampolining, aerobics, parkour, and other basic coordination activities.
The programme progresses through levels and children receive a certificate at the end of term if they pass their current level.
Recommended ages 5 – 6 years.

Children in this class will be learning a range of trampoline and double-mini trampoline skills. This helps greatly with spatial awareness and body coordination. The trampolining programme progresses through 10 levels, and children receive a certificate and ribbon at the end of the term if they pass their current level. It typically takes 2 terms to pass a level. The class is open for children aged 5+.
The Junior Trampoline classes are split into 3 age groups.
Junior Jumpers 5 – 6 years
Junior Tramp 7 – 9 years
Junior Tramp 10 – 16 years

Aerobic Gymnastics is a sport based on the ability to perform continuously complex and high intensity movement patterns to music, which originate from traditional aerobic dance.
We offer competitive aerobics for those athletes who would like to work towards performing routines at competitions. Our Junior class also accommodates those who do not wish to compete but still participate in a high energy sport.
There are 3 main classes;
Juniors,
Intermediates, &
Seniors.
Recommended ages 6 – 17 years.

The Invercargill Gymnastic Club uses the National Competitive programme for our competitive male gymnasts. Within the programme are 9 levels, with the 10th level being international. Gymnasts through levels 1 – 6 use compulsory routines, and once in level 7+ they use optional routines that vary in difficulty.
Entry into these competitive classes are done by assessment only.
Typically a gymnast would have done some basic training within one of our other classes first before moving towards this competitive stream. Classes such as Kiwi GymFun or Boys Only are common entry pathways. We do occasionally have a few exceptions, though they are rare.
The men’s competitive classes are done according to ability, not age, so in some cases we would have 7 year olds training in the same class as 12 year olds.
Recommended ages 6 – 18+ years.

Our Trampoline Gymnastic code covers both trampoline and tumbling.
Athletes who compete in this code can choose to compete in Individual Trampoline, Synchronised Trampoline, Double-mini Trampoline, and Tumbling.
We follow the National New Zealand Technical Handbook which works with age groups as opposed to levels. Age groups starting at 9 up to 17+.
There is also an international stream that is broken into age groups as well.
Recommended ages 6 – 17+ years.
