Building Confidence and Skills
All three of our Under 5’s gymnastics programs focus on movement and are designed to develop the whole child—physically, cognitively, socially, and emotionally. Positive movement experiences shape a child’s lifelong attitude toward physical activity. We offer a safe, structured environment filled with stimulating and challenging activities to enhance learning while keeping it fun!

About
- A 45 minute class where both the parent (or adult caregiver) and the child physically participate together – making it a very unique component of Kindy Gym.
- The program focuses on a large variety of activities and exercises that help develop and improve your child’s gross motor skills, confidence and spacial awareness.
- The Mini-Active Bods and Kindy Gym are two complementary programs, each designed to enhance children’s gross motor skills, strength, balance, and coordination through entertaining gymnastics-based circuits. The primary difference lies in the level of parental involvement. In the Kindy Gym program, parents are required to assist their children. In contrast, the Mini-Active Bods program, designed for 3-year-olds, does not necessitate parental assistance. Both programs utilise similar exercises and activities to keep the children engaged and active.
Typical program structure includes:
Welcome and warm-up (songs and activities) (5 min), group time and guided circuits (25-35 min), cool-down and farewell (songs and activities) (5 min).
Benefits of parent involvement include:
- Safety
- A greater rate of development, due to the child feeling secure in a known friendly and supportive environment
- Expanded learning opportunities through continual follow-up activities by adults
- Gives the parent an opportunity to provide greater support to their child’s development
Mini Active Bods

Class Times
Monday: 9:30am / 10:30am
Tuesday: 9:30am /10:30am / 3:15pm
Wednesday: 9:30am / 10:30am
Thursday: 9:30am / 10:30am / 3:15pm
Friday: 9:30am / 11:30am
Saturday: 8:00am / 8:30am / 8:45am / 9:45am
About
- A 45 minute class that keeps the kids moving through fun gymnastics based circuits, whilst working on specific exercises to help improve their gross motor skills, strength, balance and coordination.
- This program will also help your child improve both their social skills (focus, listening and working in a group) as well as physical skills (jumping, climbing, rolling, swinging, bouncing and getting upside down).
- Typical program structure includes:
- Warm-up activities (10 min), guided circuit rotations (30 min), cool-down and stickers (3-5 min)
- This is a non-parent assist class, so kids will learn to be independent and expected (once settled in) to do the class without a parent being involved. If a child still needs their parent beside them, we recommend them doing our Kindy Gym program. We understand that kids trialing and joining a class for the first time can be a little daunting, so we do encourage parents to help settle their child in and then slowly revert to the sidelines to let the coach take control.

Friday: 9:30am / 10:30am
Saturday: 8:00am / 8:45am / 9:45am
About
- A structured 45 minute class that begins to challenge kids to learning basic gymnastics skills and key body shapes, balanced with exploring fun circuits and activities.
- The pace is generally quicker (vs Mini Active Bods), and we really enjoy teaching these kids gymnastics and getting them ready for our school aged programs (as focus and listening skills steadily improve with age).
- This is an independent non-parent assist class, although we encourage parents to watch the progression of their child throughout the term and give them plenty of encouragement.
- It’s possible to assist in the development of the whole child by providing an environment where the child may creatively explore and practice skills safely in order to increase self-confidence and self-esteem.
Junior Acro & Tumbling
Ages
4-5 Year olds
Class Times
Wed/Thurs: 11:30am
About
- A structured 45 minute class that focuses more on teaching basic tumbling skills (handstands, cartwheels, back bends and somersaults into the foam pit), coupled with basic strength and lots of fun circuit activities.
- This program strives to get kids ready for our school aged acro and tumbling programs and still incorporates bars, rings, trampolines etc, to mix it up and provide a fun balanced program overall.
- Extra time is given to body preparation and skill development and run with a structure very similar to our school aged kids.
- This is an independent non-parent assist class.

In 2024, all kids enrolled in a term-based program will need to pay an annual Insurance, Rego and Membership fee of $55-to-$80/child based on the enrolled program. This will cover the child for personal injury insurance during the calendar year, and anyone joining a class in term 4 will have a slightly reduced fee.
Modbod Kids affiliated with Gymnastics NSW in Mid-2021, allowing the business to become a registered gymnastics club. This helps us with ticking some very important boxes.
Which include:
1. Adequate Gymnastics Public Liability Insurance
2. Accredited gymnastics coaches (and ensuring all staff are up to date with their first aid, Working With Children Check, Child Protection and other educational courses provided by Gymnastic Australia)
3. Personal injury insurance for all kids who take part in any of our programs (subject to paying a one-off annual insurance fee).
Why must every child be insured?
Under our Gymnastics Public Liability Insurance, all kids are insured for up to 30 days (which means holiday programs, birthday parties and trials are all covered). However, when a child goes beyond the 30 days (such as in the case of a term program), they must have personal injury insurance in place (which is an extra one-off cost that we need to charge for and then transfer across to Gymnastics NSW).
What is Personal Injury Insurance?
It’s designed to offer some peace of mind to club members (i.e. the kids) by having protection for certain costs related to injury sustained whilst involved in any gym activities. Coverage is split into 3 components:
Capital Benefits – claimable in the event of death or permanent disability
Non-Medicare Medical – provides reimbursement for items that are not claimable in any way through Medicare. However, due to government legislation, the Medicare Gap cannot be claimed.
The following expenses are generally covered:
physio and chiro treatment, dental treatment, ambulance transport, private hospital treatment
The following are not covered:
Doctor’s fees, X-rays, public hospital costs, surgeon‘s fees (which are all generally covered by Medicare)
