Sessions are also run for parents and babies aged 3 months upwards, to let everyone get involved in sport.
The team run sessions in almost all the Fit City Centres across the city and not only deliver high quality coaching but also incorporate key development skills such as hand eye coordinatioon, locomotory and sports skills. Aside from the Fit City Centres the team also deliver after school gymnastics clubs in the Little Hulton area and parent and toddler groups in children centres in Salford.
The team host different copetitions every year including the introduction of an inter schools gymnastics competition and on the 14 June 2008 an Inter Centre Trampolining competition at Fit City Eccles.
