RAW Kids Gymnastics Portsmouth

The question we get asked more than any other: which class should my child in?

Here's the whole thing in thirty seconds.

RAW WRIGGLERS: from the day they start walking to 3.5 years. You're in the room with them. Action songs, parachute play, sensory fun.

RAW ROLLERS: 3.5 to 4.5 years. Their first solo class, no parents in the room. They build at their own pace, and it's usually the class where you notice the confidence shift.

RAW FOUNDATION: 4.5 to 8 years. Proper gymnastics fundamentals: circuits, strength, balance, coordination, flexibility. Structured, coached, and still fun.

Not sure which side of a cut-off your child falls? Just ask us in the comments and we'll tell you straight.

September classes are filling at RAW Kids Gymnastics

Not a sales line; just how it works when you cap class sizes. Every RAW class is deliberately small so no child is queueing for equipment or getting lost at the back, and that means there are only so many places per session.

If you've been thinking about it for a while, this is the fortnight to sort it. Autumn term spaces are going now, and the popular slots (weekday teatime, Saturday morning) always go first.

Classes run from the day your child starts walking right up to age 8.

Your little one can scale the entire bookshelf in 4 seconds but cannot locate shoes placed directly in front of them.

The climbing ability is olympic. The shoe finding ability is non existent. Both happen within the same minute.

You said one mild swear word in 2021 and your child has been saving it for the worst possible moment ever since.

Grandma's house. A quiet shop. The school gate. They've been waiting, patiently, like a tiny comedic sniper.

Your child will tell a complete stranger they love them and tell you that you're "not their best friend anymore".

The betrayal arrives daily, usually before breakfast. You made their entire dinner. You are nothing to them. The man at the till is everything.

A toddler at bedtime suddenly needs a wee, a drink, a wee, a different teddy, and to discuss death.

Wide awake at 7pm. Tackle them all day and they're an Duracell battery. The stalling tactics would impress a hostage negotiator.

You will spend nine pounds on a toy and watch your child play with the receipt.

The instructions are also a hit. As is the bag it came in. The toy itself remains pristine, untouched, a museum piece.

Turns out they just want to be busy, so let them, book a trial here: https://www.rawkidsgymnastics.co.uk/locations

Nothing humbles you like your three year old loudly announcing your business to a full waiting room.

You have no secrets. The receptionist now knows what you said in the car. So does everyone within a 30 foot radius.

Parenting is mostly saying "we don't lick that" in places you never imagined you'd have to.

The window. The shopping trolley. A stranger's wellington boot. You've become a public health announcement with legs.

Your toddler will sprint head first into a wall and laugh, then weep because their banana broke in two.

The risk assessment in a small child's head is a complete mystery. Tower of cushions, fine. A snack with a structural flaw, devastating.

Give them somewhere their fearlessness is actually a feature, book here: https://www.rawkidsgymnastics.co.uk/locations
