Barngympa & Barngymnastik

Stockholms Barnidrottsförening runs gymnastics and sports courses for young children in Vasastan, Stockholm. The core of the operation is Bamsegympa & Idrottsskola – a combined concept for children aged 2–7 where the Swedish Gymnastics Federation's Bamsegympa concept meets the association's own Idrottsskola. Here children try basic movement training, forward rolls and obstacle courses, as well as elements from tennis, floorball, athletics, football, basketball and handball. In addition, Parkour & Freerunning, single-session classes with open booking, summer camps and children's parties are offered.

Groups are kept deliberately small to maintain quality, and instructors receive ongoing training through the Swedish Gymnastics Federation and SISU. Classes are available both with and without a parent in the room – if you choose to join, the idea is that you are there as support, not to perform. The style is characterised by a playful and inclusive format, with no elimination and activities adapted to each child's level of development.

Well suited for parents with children of pre-school and early school age who are looking for structured yet playful motor skills training – and who would like to try a free trial class before the term begins.
