Classes are currently held in Chelmsford, Tiptree, Great Bardfield Braintree and Danbury at various venues. We also attend schools, groups and council run sessions on a regular basis throughout the county. The TT Club aims to provide a fun, safe environment for children to explore, integrate and learn new and develop existing skills. All classes are taken by qualified coaches and children and parents are encouraged to be independent and use their imagination.
From walking, pre-school children can attend our sessions which are a mixture of gymnastics and trampolining and are parent and toddler sessions with a structured warm up.
On turning 4 cildren are taken into structured classes which are coach led and parents are welcome to stay or drop off their participating children. These sessions are aimed at trampolining or gymnastics and children are welcome to attend both classses if they wish to..
In gymnastics, children can work towards achieving a reward system of badges and certificates for both 0-3 and 3-5 year olds and 5 years plus. Skills to achieve these badges are worked on throughout the term and participants are afforded the opportunity of being assessed and passed on a termly basis. Please note that badges are presented at an additional cost. We run squad level coaching for both gymnastics and trampolining and participants can attend for several hours per week to train at the correct level depending upon their ability. Martial Arts
We now also delver martial arts to schools and at the main club in Braintree. From November 2007 we aso offer karate and kickboxing for children afed from 5 years to adults. These sessions are delivered by David Wilson, a black belt whoc is keen to impoart his experience and knowldge and currently runs various sessions within the Braintree district. David is a lawyer by trade who decided to follow his heart on moving to the Braintree area and is now keen to develop his remit within schools and to estabiish a successful club at East Street.
