Our mission: to support and encourage participation in gymnastics across a broad range of ages and ability in a fun, fair and progressive environment. We firmly believe in rewarding hard work and a positive sporting attitude just as much as nurturing exceptional talent. We are aiming to build a multi-layered club that has opportunities at all levels for different interest levels and aptitudes among both boys and girls.
Encourage Effort – Nurture Talent – Reward Endeavour
We run both recreational Gymnastics For All sessions for various levels from age 4-16 and a programme of squad options for talented artistic gymnasts of differing ages and abilities. Gym For All is at the heart of our programme, ensuring that the many benefits of gymnastics reach a wide variety of children, with our squads offering a more targeted option for those both passionate and naturally talented at the sport.

We encourage older gymnasts to get involved in coaching and volunteering within the club and will support them to develop leadership and coaching skills via the British Gymnastics Leadership Academy and Coach programme.
