General Gymnastics Classes

Currently we offer beginners/intermediate classes on a Friday evening 3.45 - 4.45pm.

These classes focus on developing a basic level of fitness as well as teaching body awareness through gymnastic activities. All classes follow a similar format and incorporate simple acrobatic gymnastics as well as teaching individual gymnastic skills. Gymnasts will take part in one session per week.

Friday classes run for 10 or 12 weeks and do not run during school holidays. The terms for Friday classes begin in September, January and April.

For existing members, places need to be reserved 3-4 weeks ahead of the new term.

New members will be enrolled 1-2 weeks prior to the beginning of each term. If you are on our waiting list we will contact you when spaces become available, alternatively you can contact us.

Squad Gymnastics

Our 'Squad' gymnasts train and compete regionally, nationally and internationally. Gymnasts are invited to join a squad through a talent identification program,from recognition by coaches and from participation in other classes.

There are 3 different 'squads', these are:

FIG - Gymnasts in this squad will be competing at the highest level in Great Britain and travelling to international events around the world; representing the club and ultimately we hope representing Great Britain. Gymnasts in this squad train 5/6 evenings a week plus mornings.

FIG Development - We see gymnasts in this squad as having the potential to compete at FIG but because of age or a new partnership are currently not ready to do this level of work. Gymnasts will work one or both of the FIG and NDP programmes. There will be opportunities to do FIG international events if gymnasts are the correct ages and the right level. Gymnasts in this squad train 3-5 times each week.

NDP - Gymnasts in this squad will compete at NDP and will be able to take part in many regional and possibly national events at this level. Gymnasts in this squad train 1-4 times each week.

The gymnastic year is split into four terms:
Sept 1st - Nov 30th
Dec 1st - Feb 28th
March 1st - May 31st
June 1st - August 31st

Fees are payable in full at the start of each term.
We reserve the right to cancel any session during the scheduled term dates.
