    Hi,

    I'm looking for gymnastic classes for my 5 year old daughter, ideally close to Swords. I found these online and wondering if anyone had any experience with either one of them:

    Arabian gymnastics
    Grange gymnastics
    Leader gymnastics club
    North County gymnastics club
    Gymstars gymnastics

    I didn't realise there are that many of them... it's a little bit overwhelming

    Had my son in both North County and Leader.

    North County are good but very big club with lots of kids, unless your child is good enough to make the squad they tend to get left behind.

    I would recommend Leader, great club with excellent coaches who really seem to put the time into every child.

    Arabian are excellent & very encouraging, but they're extremely selective with squads.

    Thanks very much OU812! Can you explain a little bit about the squad? What does it really mean, what happens if you don't make the squad? Thanks again!

    the squad is the elite. they're the ones who go off for competitions & they have a special tracksuit & leotard. If you don't make squad, it's pretty much non competitive gymnastics for recreation
