What to Expect on Your First Day at Grace Gymnastics Dubai

Have you recently signed up your child for an exciting gymnastics journey and experience at Grace? Here is what their first day is going to be like with us. Whether your child is stepping into the gym as a beginner or has already been part of gymnastics Dubai, their first class will be filled with fun, learning and lots of movement. Grace is amongst the best gymnastics in UAE because we help you as well as your child feel prepared for the sport. In the blog below we will give you an insight on what to expect on your first day at Grace and how your child can make the most of this experience.

Gym Tour and Welcome

The first interaction is always very daunting, especially for shy children. The minute you step into the gym at Grace our team and coaches will be awaiting your arrival and warmly welcome you into the family of gymnasts. At any point, if you or your child has questions, we will be more than happy to answer and would love you to check in your child upon arrival. 

To further break the ice, the children and parents will be given a tour of the gymnasium, where all the fun happens. You will also be shown the locker rooms and the assigned locker with a quick visit of the waiting area for the parents. The tour of the place and introduction to the staff will help put you and your child at ease about the gymnastics classes in UAE. 

Official Introduction to the Coach and Classmates

Parents can accompany their children for the entirety of their frosty day of practising rhythmic gymnastics at Grace. Once everyone has arrived, the coach of the group will formally introduce themselves to the children and the parents. They will also make sure to ask about the experience level of each child to ensure that they are taught and guided accordingly. 

Once that has been done the children will get to interact with their classmates to help overcome the initial awkwardness. The staff and coaches ensure the atmosphere is fun and encouraging for each child, with no discrimination and unnecessary competition.

Warming Up and Stretching Out

Grace is one of the best gymnastics in near me because our coaches are experienced and our apparatus and facilities are top-notch to make your child’s experience with us memorable and comfortable. To start off the day the coaches will ask the class to warm up before jumping directly into the creative movements and gymnastics skills. Their heart rate will be increased and muscles ready for the preparation of rhythmic gymnastics with the help of light jogging, hopping or even stretching exercises. 

Flexibility is the focal point of the sport so the exercises and stretches will mainly focus on the leg, shoulders and back. Don’t worry if your child isn’t flexible, they will progress over time and it's just going to be the first class.

Basic Drills

The best part of gymnastics is learning the basic drills and skills. The first class isn’t supposed to go much in depth so the children will only be taught basic movements that build their concentration and confidence. These basic movements include forward and backward rolls, cartwheels, handstands and balancing on beams. 

The coaches will break down each movement into smaller steps to make it easier to understand and follow for the children. The aim is to make the learning process fun while also learning where your child stands and what their weaknesses and areas of improvement are.

Cool Down and Goodbyes

The first class is not going to be too long or exhausting, since beginners wouldn’t have much strength or experience to practice for hours. As class comes to an end the coaches will guide the children in the cool-down session. This consists of gentle stretches that will relax the muscles after exertion. The class will be on a positive note with positive and encouraging feedback provided to each child. 

Before leaving parents can also ask the coaches about future classes and areas of improvement for their child and how the coaches expect tp work on them.
