All Abilities
The All Abilities program is delivered in a fun and safe environment, using a variety of specialised equipment that is focused on making participating less confronting, less demanding and safe. Participants will be stimulated through interactive gymnastics-based activities that are significant for both mental and physical growth, help improve participants gross motor skills, strength, fitness, balance and coordination.
Along with developing physical attributes, participants will build and foster positive relationships and connections with one another, parents / carers and coaches. We seek to empower participants in a supported environment to build their confidence and help them recognise that there is no limit to their ability, which we believe is crucial for their all-round development.
