The Club focuses on Floor, Vault, Tumbling and Sports Acrobatics, we have specialist coaches in all of these disciplines. During our classes we will also do work on the beam and bars in order to improve balance, technique and co-ordination.
The club premises are not large, however we do have a variety of equipment the majority of which is still under manufacturers guarantee. Available equipment includes 15 metre inflatable tumble track, flybed trampoline, trampette, vaulting tables both competition approved and foam training, spotting rig and bungee belts, numerous acro pedestals, floor beams along with multiple safety matting configurations.
In all of our activities safety is our prime consideration, gymnasts are constantly supervised and groups sizes are kept small i.e. a maximum coach to gymnasts ratio of 1:6. The club adheres fully to all the recommendations of the British Gymnastics Association and has comprehensive safety, child protection and disciplinary procedures in place.
We are currently working towards the GymMark quality award of the British Gymnastics Association, more information on this can be found on the BGA website
The club boasts a friendly but competitive atmosphere, gymnasts are coached in groups of similar ability and are encouraged to work hard. Parents are welcome to stay and watch training sessions all we ask is that you stay away from the equipment and do not distract any of the gymnasts whilst they are training. Tea and Coffee is made available to parents for a small charge.
We welcome any support from parents – we always need more volunteers for coaching or fundraising. Our aim is top keep fees as low as possible and therefore we welcome all offers of support – either financially or in kind.
