IGC Information Folder

The Invercargill Gymnastic Club maintains an information folder which contains all relevant information to do with the club.

It is hoped that through this Information Folder, the IGC Executive can keep in touch with all Members of the IGC and provide accessible and understandable documentation which covers all areas of the IGC. This may include foundation information, day-to-day running information, class information, enrolment information, codes of conduct, role descriptions, and all IGC policies, procedures, processes and plans. By making this information readily available to everyone, those who wish to learn more are able to gain a deeper understanding of how the IGC works, while those who need clarification on a specific topic are able to quickly and easily find the up-to-date answers.

NOTE: This folder is a work in progress, and as such is still incomplete.
This table of contents is only a draft, and currently only has the
completed and printed documents listed here.
The rest is still to come.

Drop-in-Gym

Drop-in-Gym is a chance for pre-school children to have unstructured play in the gymnasium in a safe and supervised way, without a formal programme. The gymnasium is set up with fun setups each week for the children to explore. It is a great alternative to other pre-school programmes.
Parent supervision is essential.
Recommended ages 1 – 4 years

Cost – See our fees and timetable page HERE.

PlayGym

PlayGym introduces pre-school children to the basics of controlled movement in a fun way.
Each term focuses on skills such as;

  • safe landings
  • jumping
  • balancing
  • rotations
  • swinging
    and,
  • different forms of locomotion

The PlayGym programme is aimed at children aged 2½ years, up to school age. Younger supervised siblings are welcome to join in. Parent participation is essential.

Recommended ages 2.5 – 4 years

Cost – See our fees and timetable page HERE.

Kindy Gym

Kindy Gym is a step further from PlayGym. While the programme still focuses on similar skills to PlayGym, the Kindy Gym programme is aimed at children aged 4 years, up to school age. Parents can sit to the side in these sessions to watch while the coach instructs the children through various circuits and activities.
Younger supervised siblings are welcome to stay off to the side and play.

Recommended ages 4 years only.

Cost – See our fees and timetable page HERE.

Junior Gymnastics

The Junior Gymnastics programme (previously Kiwi GymFun) is designed to teach a foundation in all gymnastic codes that we offer, in a graduated, enjoyable way. This includes basics in artistic gymnastics, trampolining, aerobics, parkour, and other basic coordination activities.

The programme progresses through levels and children receive a certificate at the end of term if they pass their current level.

Recommended ages 5 – 6 years.

Cost – See our fees and timetable page HERE.

Artistic Awards

The Artistic Awards programme run through 10 grades in artistic gymnastics. The gymnasts get tested in week 7 in terms 1-3. Where if the pass their grade they will receive a certificate and then progress onto the the next grade.
Grades 1-3 will be tested in terms 1-3.
Grades 4-6 will be tested every second term.
Grades 7-10 (Advanced class) will be tested as they are ready.

The Artistic Awards are split by age and grade.
Junior – Ages 7-9 (Grades 1-6)
Senior – Ages 10+ (Grades 1-6)
Advanced – Grades 7-10

Cost – See our fees and timetable page HERE.

Boys Only (Rec)

Boys Only is a recreational class for boys where they do not need to feel outnumbered by girls which can occasionally happen in some of the other classes. The boys only class works on a simplified version of the national competitive men’s programme. If they develop advanced enough, there is the possibility to be assessed by a coach to enter into the main competitive programme. 

Recommended ages 7 – 12 years.

Cost – See our fees and timetable page HERE.
