Options range from holistic age appropriate classes like Hotshots (6-8yrs) to Skill development classes like gymnastics, ball skills and skipping. Recommended participation for these classes is minimum of once per week. BOOKING of these classes is ESSENTIAL.

NINJA ZONE: These classes offer an exciting progression program, combining gymnastics, parkour and martial arts. In order for the children to go through to the grading (Missions) and level up, they need to achieve the skill levels in the different stages (White/Yellow/Green/Blue). A minimum of once per week is recommended to participate in this program and the ninja uniform is compulsory to create a sense of teamwork and belonging. BOOKING of these classes is ESSENTIAL.

The Kids Gym Timetable (Age/ Specific Classes) and the Ninja Timetable run during school terms only (3 Terms).
