Club Classes (ages 3 to18+):
We provide recreational and squad sessions every weekday evening and Saturday Mornings at several venues. Following the British Gymnastics badge scheme, this is the ideal way to ensure your child/teenager keeps fit whilst having fun, learning new skills and growing in confidence. There is also the opportunity to take part in competitions. We offer Sports Acrobatics, Tumbling, Team Gym, General Gymnastics and Pre-School.
Waddler to Toddler Classes:
This is a wonderful way for parents and carers to have fun with the little ones, to experience a variety of soft play equipment in a safe environment, while also having the chance to meet other parents and carers. Toddlers can also work towards their own special British Gymnastic badge scheme.
After-School Clubs & Breakfast Clubs:
These are located at various primary schools and only children who attend that school may take part. We follow the British Gymnastic badge scheme. These clubs offer children the opportunity to experience gymnastic giving them the ideal stepping stone to our club sessions.
Coaches in Schools:
MK Springers have four qualified gymnastic coaches working in schools daily. A Community Coach will spend six weeks in a school delivering gymnastics to all the children, from reception class upwards. The class teacher remains with the class thus enabling him/her to carry on delivering high quality gymnastics after the coach has left the school.
Our Community Coaches work with The School Sports Partnership and together we have developed a written scheme of work which is being introduced into all the primary schools across Milton Keynes. Our four coaches between them provide lessons to over 1,000 children for a six-week block.
Our Fees
At Kiln Farm our fees are paid every month in advance, based on a 50 week year. We normally close for 2 weeks at Christmas. Classes continue as normal throughout the other holiday periods and during school half term breaks. Missed sessions due to a gymnast being ill or away on holiday can be made up by agreement with your coach. The 2 week closure at christmas does not qualify as missed sessions. It is not permitted to make up for missed sesssions by attending holiday courses, as these courses tend to be oversubscribed. If a gymnast leaves and returns in the same year we will charge a £10 re-joining fee. We strongly encourage all our members to pay monthly by Standing Order and we give a reduction in fees for those who pay by this method.
At our other venues, fees are normally paid half termly in advance, in line with the school year. We normally charge the same amount for each half term, regardless of its duration. Classes do not take place during school half term and holiday breaks, although we may occasionally offer holiday courses.
We may offer reduced fees to those families who are suffering financial hardship.
Saving the Planet
We encourage all our visitors to cycle, walk or take a bus to all our venues. On the notice board at Kiln Farm club, there are details of drivers who are willing to lift share. So if this is something you are willing to do please contact us.
