More about GymTeam

Our Gym Team programme encourages independent learning, skills progression and development, as well as support to enter the sport as a helper, coach or judge for those that want to further expand their gymnastics pathway.

We also provide opportunities to take part in competitions, events and displays, encouraging good sporting behaviour and experience performing in front of an audience.

Our experienced coaches’ mentor and guide gymnasts to achieve their goals, whatever path they may choose.

With all levels welcome, our existing Gym Team members include both beginners and those that have been with us previously. Many are also Helper or Level 1 Coaches with us too. We are proud of the number of teenagers we are able to retain in sport generally and gymnastics specifically.
