If your child is showing signs of energy, flexibility, or just loves to jump around the house, you might be wondering: what age can my child start gymnastics classes in Kent? At DLJ Gymnastics, we have age-appropriate classes designed to introduce children to the world of gymnastics in a fun, safe, and structured way starting from as young as 2.5 years old!

Pre School Gymnastics Classes (Ages 2.5 – 4 Years)

Our Pre School Classes are the perfect starting point for little ones. Tailored for children aged 2.5 to 4 years, these sessions are designed to develop basic movement skills, improve coordination, and boost confidence all through play-based learning in a supportive environment.

Classes include:

  • Soft play equipment

  • Structured group time

  • Parent involvement (optional)

  • Introduction to balance, rolling, and jumping

This is a great age to help children build their confidence and get used to following simple instructions in a group setting.

DLJ Gym 4 All Gymnastics (Ages 4 – 12 Years)

Once your child turns four, they can move into our DLJ Gym 4 All sessions, which are ideal for children aged 4 to 12 years. These mixed-age classes offer a fun and inclusive environment, giving children the chance to:

  • Learn core gymnastics skills

  • Practice on equipment such as the bars, beam, floor, and vault

  • Improve strength, flexibility, and discipline

Our experienced coaches adapt the activities to each child's age and ability, helping them progress at their own pace while staying motivated.

For older children looking for a more structured challenge, our Youth Classes are specifically for children aged 9 and up.
