Northcote Carpark
A quick reminder that it is not acceptable to stop and park in the middle of the road, not only is this not safe, it also risks causing a backlog of traffic. Please use our provided undercroft parking as a drop off/pick up zone, this is the intention of our 5 minute undercroft parking spaces. If you intend to stay for longer than 5-minutes we kindly ask that you find a spot for your car in one of our parallel parks, or park on Beavers Road, or surrounding streets. During our daytime Tiny Tornadoes classes, parents are welcome to park in the undercroft car spots. We really appreciate your help with this!
COMPETITION – WIN A $40 TWISTERS SHOP VOUCHER!
We are giving you an opportunity to win a $40 Twisters Shop voucher* by designing and sharing your own gymnastics routine! You can choose your own apparatus (depending on what is available to you) and which skills you would like to include. The things we will be looking for will be strong motorbike landings, good basic shapes, safety (using only skills within your own ability), and the linking of different skills to form a routine. You can perform your routine at home, in the playground, wherever you like; as long as it is safe. Routines should be no longer than one minute, and will be judged on originality and ability to demonstrate skills at your own level. Share your routine to one of our social media platforms and you are in the running!
*Voucher only redeemable on merchandise purchased from the Twisters Shop and no change will be given for any unused portion.
The Paralympics have arrived!
Best wishes to all of our Australian Paralympians competing in Paris 2024! We avidly believe that sport is for everyone and we are so excited to be cheering on the Aussies, and all of the athletes, during the Paralympics
Upcoming Holiday Programs and Workshops
It is almost that time again! In preparation for the next round of school holidays, we wanted to take this opportunity to provide you with some reminders:
• Make-up tokens cannot be used as a form of payment for holiday programs. This offering came to an end at the beginning of 2023, you can read Dan’s personal and honest blog post about this here.
• Twisters does not offer government subsidies for any of holiday programs.
• As Northcote runs classes through one week of the school holidays, we only offer full and half day programs during the first week of school holidays, and workshops during the second.If you would like to book into one of our next programs or workshops, you can book in here!
Footy Colours Day
It is that time of year – Spring is in the air and the football finals are here! That means it is time to show your true colours and support a very important cause.

We ask all Twisters gymnasts and their families to wear their favourite sports gear in the gym during this time, and to make a donation if you are able.
