F.A.Q's
What does a session look like?
Each block of Ed Gym has a different themed obstacle course made up of different activities.
When you arrive, you will wait just outside of the stadium until our Ed Gym instructor comes to get you. We will always start with a group warm up. If it is the first week of the block the instructor will take parents through the entire course and explain each activity. Little ones will then break off to run through the course and practice their skills. We will usually regroup for another activity at the end and then some stretching.
As the participants learn the course our instructors will add new challenges for them to try!
Can we join in the middle of a block?
Unfortunately we only take booking for full blocks. For our little Ed Gymers to see the effect of the program the repetition of the course is essential. Repetition of movement is how our brains learn new skills, and gives the participants confidence when they master a move!
Is this a supervised program? Can I drop off and run?
We require parents to actively participate alongside their little ones at Ed Gym.
Can I bring their younger/older siblings?
The Ed Gym program is specifically designed for walkers to 5 year olds. We wont allow children outside of this range to participate in the program HOWEVER if you have to bring siblings along, they are welcome to hang out on the sidelines (or in the pram/carrier if they are little!).
Do we need to bring anything?
You wont need to bring anything for Ed Gym. We do just ask that kids wear socks while they participate in the activity. We do not allow food and drinks (excluding water) in the stadium area however we do have a cafe on site for a before and after treat!
