RINKA classes are an alternative to competitive sports. The classes are age appropriate and focus on making fitness fun for all.
We aim to are help all kids reach their physical activity requirements and not just those who love sport already.
Every class your child attends is part of a year-long curriculum that introduces them to a wide variety of fundamental movement skills, sport specific skills, and different physical challenges. We also focus on wellbeing in each and every class.
Following a set curriculum allows us to ensure your child is developing and growing in confidence and ability in the wide variety of skills we offer.
Classes are fun-filled, energetic and child-centred and focus on three areas each week:
Strong Heart: energy-burning cardiovascular exercises
Strong Body: muscular strength
Strong Mind: health and wellbeing challenges
Regardless of the week however, you can be guaranteed that each and every class is full of positivity and happy vibes!
What do We cover in Class?
Gymnastic skills, athletic skills, ball skills, relay races, obstacle courses, movement and dance, dramatic fitness games, ribbon work, team games, healthy eating, and mindfulness and relaxation. We are a one stop shop for children’s health and well-being.
