FGS is a gymnastics school that offers training programs for young children from the age of 4 years for Recreational and Competitive Gymnastics in a fun but structured way.
Gymnastics is known as 'The Mother of all Sports' and it has also got recognition from The International Olympic Committee as one of the foundation sports from which all others stem. This is so as gymnastics helps a child develop strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, coordination, etc.
All classes offer a structured framework that includes yearly reports with feedback to parents, regular assessment of progress, and quarterly physical tests so that children get the chance to build character.
In India, it is often said that where there is infrastructure there is no coach, and where there is a coach is no right infrastructure. We at FGS are implementing a structured training program, the right infrastructure, and standards that are required under the Federation guidelines.
Those children who start enjoying the sport are those who gradually start taking it seriously and eventually become champions. India is bursting with talent; with the right guidance and nurturing we believe we can change the face of Gymnastics in India.
Initially, we want children to enjoy the training and let them experience this beautiful Olympic sport in a structured but fun-filled environment.
We are committed to raising the standards of Gymnastics in India.
We are driven to create future champions who will represent India at various International platforms like; Common Wealth Games, Asian Championships, World Cup, World Championship, and eventually the Olympics Games.
GYMNASTICS IS KNOWN AS THE MOTHER OF ALL SPORTS.
Gymnastics teaches kids how to move with confidence and competence better than any
other sport! Gymnastics teaches basic movements and skills that are used in every
other sport. Basics movements includes running, rolling, flipping, balancing,
jumping, landing, etc. It develops agility, balance, coordination, endurance and
speed.
The importance of having basic physical skills cannot be overstated. When kids learn
these skills, they are developing physical knowledge. Experts agree that physical
knowledge is important for a child's development just as learning how to read and
write.

Many of the world's champion gymnasts began training very young including our
Founder & Head Coach. An early start is beneficial for the child as difficult skills
are easily learnt at a younger age. Younger the age lesser the pain. As gymnastics
is a sport which is performed going against science. A normal human body can barely
do 180 degree split but gymnasts can go up to 210 degree splits. Also bones are
still at a developing stage so it becomes easier for children to acquire new and
prepare for high difficulty elements. Younger children do not usually have any fear
of doing gymnastics elements and they adapt to hard training regimens more
easily.
But age is just a number to start gymnastics as benefits can be gained from
practicing this sport any any point in life. Gymnastics helps progress performance
in any other sport as well and it is the best fitness training for all age groups.
Rhythmic Gymnastics is the only Olympic women oriented sport that links expressive dance steps with skilful manipulations of the ball, rope, ribbon, hoop or clubs. The benefits are perfect posture, toned figure, flexibility and graceful movement. Fun gymnastics is like opening a door to the world of gymnastics. This is the first stage of the sport and is open for both boys and girls which is the Fun stage. The children probably can't wait to put on their gymnastics clothes before practice and after practice they probably don't want to take them off. They will start jumping on every piece of furniture and won't stop bouncing all over the house. They benefit from enhanced social awareness, increase in confidence, improve in sitting posture and increase in mobility and independence.
