GymABLE & Special Olympics

Our GymABLE classes are for children with physical and/or intellectual disabilities. We have been running these classes since 2019 when we were selected to do so by Gymnastics Ireland.

GymABLE is an inclusive programme targeted at providing opportunities for people with disabilities. Gymnastics can be adapted to be inclusive for everyone regardless of ability. 

The aim of these classes is to encourage children to improve their balance, coordination and movement and to learn new skills in a fun and relaxed environment. The classes also offer a social experience for children and their parents. These classes are open to girls and boys age 6 and over.

We launched our Special Olympics Rhythmic Gymnastics programme in September 2019. 

This programme offers girls and boys with intellectual disabilities who are age 6 and over the opportunity to develop physical fitness, balance, flexibility, strength, coordination and confidence. The children will participate in Special Olympics events if they wish as long as they are able to perform the routine(s) happily and confidently.

At the end of their class, the children usually go out the door with a smile on their face and a sense of achievement.

We keep the class numbers small, which unfortunately means we have a lengthy waiting list but if you'd like to be added, please get in touch.
