New to Gymnastics?
This Is Exactly Where Your Child Starts.
Foundation is MAG’s beginner gymnastics route for children starting from the beginning.
They don’t need to arrive knowing a handstand, cartwheel or a list of gymnastics skills. They are coming here because they want to learn.
Your Child Doesn’t Need to Be “Ready” for Gymnastics
Parents sometimes worry that their child should already be flexible, strong, confident or able to do certain skills before joining.
Foundation is the beginner level. Starting without gymnastics experience isn’t a disadvantage here — it is exactly why this class exists.
New Skills. Small Wins. Growing Confidence.
A beginner doesn’t need an impressive starting point. Progress often begins with something much smaller: trying, learning, getting a little more comfortable and realising that something difficult is becoming possible.
A Serious Gymnastics Academy Without Expecting Your Child to Be a Serious Gymnast
MAG has routes into Intermediate Gymnastics , Advanced Gymnastics and artistic performance programmes.
But your child does not need to arrive wanting medals, competitions or elite gymnastics.
And if, over time, their ability and ambition grow, they are already inside an academy with a clear route forward.
They Don’t Have to Keep Up With the Child Beside Them
Children don’t all arrive with the same confidence, physical ability or experience — and they don’t all develop at exactly the same speed.
You’re Choosing Who Gets to Coach Your Child
A gymnastics class is not only about the skills being taught. It is also about the people teaching them and the environment your child walks into each week.
MAG’s wider coaching team works across recreational and artistic gymnastics, with the academy providing clear safeguarding, welfare and club policies for families.
Before You Even Need to Ask
Starting a new activity can create lots of small questions. Here are the important ones we can answer now.
If your question is specific to your child, speak to us. We’d rather help you choose the right starting point than leave you guessing.
My child has never done gymnastics before. Is that okay?
Do they need to know a cartwheel or handstand?
What if my child is nervous about starting?
My child is around four years old. Is Foundation or Pre-School right?
Is my child too old to start gymnastics?
How will I know if they are progressing?
Does starting at MAG mean my child has to compete?
What if my child has additional needs or needs extra support?
What should they wear, and can parents watch?
How much does Foundation cost?
