Frequently Asked Questions About Junior Sport Stars

Does Junior Sport Stars in Stockport offer a free trial class for my child to try gymnastics before committing?

Yes, Junior Sport Stars offers a free trial class, which is a great way for your child to experience the sessions before you sign up. Parents have told us their toddlers and preschoolers loved the trial, one mum travelled half an hour for the toddler play & stay session and said her 18-month-old was smiling from start to finish. The club welcomes children from 18 months right through to teenagers, and the coaching team (including coaches like Rick and Ellen) make new families feel at ease from the very first visit.

What holiday camps does Junior Sport Stars run, and are they suitable for primary school children in the Stockport area?

Junior Sport Stars runs holiday camps during school breaks at their Heaton Mersey venue and at other sites including Co-op Academy New Islington. The camps are packed with activities, indoor fun on rainy days and plenty of outdoor games when the weather's kind, and parents tell us their children come home happy and asking to go back. The camps are suitable for primary school-age children, and the team (including coach Katie) keeps the days engaging and well-organised, making them a lifesaver for working parents.

Is Junior Sport Stars inclusive of children with special needs or ADHD?

Yes, the club is welcoming and supportive of children with additional needs. Parents have specifically praised coaches like Leandro for being kind and accommodating when siblings or participants with special needs attend sessions. Families whose children have ADHD or other requirements have told us the staff are attentive and patient, creating a positive environment where every child feels included and safe. This makes Junior Sport Stars one of the more inclusive options for families in Stockport.

What can I expect from the toddler and preschool gymnastics classes at Junior Sport Stars?

The toddler play & stay sessions (for children from 18 months) and KinderGym classes are lively, fun, and carefully structured. Each week features obstacle courses, parachute tunnels, music, dancing, and games on the sprung floor, which toddlers love bouncing on. Parents tell us their little ones look forward to the sessions every week and have developed skills like jumping with both feet off the ground surprisingly early. Coach Ellen is often singled out for her energy and creativity, one family called it the best gymnastics class they'd ever attended.

Can I book a birthday party at Junior Sport Stars in Stockport, and what does it include?

Yes, Junior Sport Stars hosts birthday parties at their purpose-built venue in Heaton Mersey. Parents who've held parties there tell us the sessions include both structured activities led by the coaching team and free play on the sprung floor and equipment, keeping children entertained and active throughout. The 7,000-square-foot space gives plenty of room for party games, and the viewing area with café means parents can relax with a coffee while the team looks after the children. It's a hassle-free option for a memorable celebration.
