About Floor and Vault

Floor and vault is a gymnastics discipline that focuses on two main apparatus:

The Floor

  • Skills & Movements: Gymnasts perform a variety of tumbling moves such as forward rolls, cartwheels, round-offs, handstands, walkovers, and flips 
  • Focus Areas: Strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, and performance skills.
  • Format: In competitive settings, routines are performed to a set time limit on a sprung or matted surface, but in recreational classes, it’s often skill-based training without music.

The Vault

  • The Setup: A padded vaulting table (or a lower vault block for beginners) with a run-up area and a springboard.
  • The Action: The gymnast runs down the runway, jumps off the springboard, places hands on the vault table, and uses power and technique to push off into a jump, twist, or somersault.
  • Skills: Sprinting speed, control, and safe execution of landings.

Why Floor and Vault?

Floor and vault is one of the most dynamic and accessible forms of gymnastics. On the floor, children get to develop core skills like balance, flexibility and strength through a mix of tumbling, jumps and routines. On the vault, they’ll learn how to tumble safely under the guidance of our experienced coaches.

It’s not just about physical skills. Our floor and vault classes in Chislehurst are also designed for our students to have fun, make new friends, and develop their own sense of self-confidence.
