Our Story
Skylark Kids Win at Life
The Skylark Edge
Skylark Sports is a gymnastics club with a difference. At Skylark we use gymnastics, acrobatics and ninja as tools to build happy, capable, resilient kids. Our programs are professionally developed and age appropriate to provide children with the best learning environment and the most fun. We teach kids to cartwheel, roll, flip and fall and we teach them to do it SAFELY. We teach kids to love learning and moving because we know it increases their chances of happiness and success.
Using gymnastics, acrobatics and ninja training, we teach kids how to physically prepare and move their bodies in a fun, challenging and safe environment. Risk taking is an important part of growing up, a part that is often overlooked in an effort to keep kids safe. Teaching kids to appreciate and understand risk in a controlled environment helps them make better decisions when it counts.
There is a place for everyone at Skylark and we strive to make sure our programs are welcoming and inclusive. As an affiliate member of Gymnastics Victoria and Gymnastics Australia, Skylark Sports operates as a member based sporting club. We are fully insured through Gymnastics Australia’s Risk Protection Program. Our coaches are nationally accredited and selected for their genuine love of children as well as their technical expertise. They bring out the best in each child by encouraging them to exceed their perceived limitations.
The Skylark Mission
We teach confidence through movement.
We teach confidence, and we use gymnastics, acrobatics and ninja training to do it. We want the kids that walk through our door to leave more confident and happy than they arrived. We want parents to relax and enjoy the experience. We teach kids to take responsibility for their health and their learning. We build them up so they are confident enough to set challenging goals and we help them understand the need to work hard to achieve them.

For Parents
We want you to relax and enjoy the experience of doing something great for your child. Our parent assisted Kindergym classes give you an opportunity to learn to play with your child, to enjoy spending time with them and to help them develop their brain and body so they are ready to win at life.
Our classes for kids 3 and above are just for kids, so you can relax knowing that they are in good hands, learning and growing and having a great time. Once they have turned 5, you can leave them with us and go out and enjoy some time on your own, or stay and enjoy a complimentary tea or coffee while relaxing in our parents area. With great viewing access to the gym you can see what’s going in the gym, or take a seat and get some work done, read a book or catch up on social media.
Shop, administration facilities and more
We have a selection of leotards, t-shirts and jumps available for sale at the front desk. You don’t need a leotard, but if your child wants one we want to make it easy for you to buy. You can also purchase them online through the customer portal and pick up at the gym.
To make things easy we operate on a direct debit service which we will help you get set up upon enrolment. We also accept card payments at the front desk and over the phone.
