Disability/ Inclusion gymnastics
About
Disability/ Inclusion classes offers children with additional needs the opportunity to take part in gymnastics classes with a much smaller ratio of gymnast to coach.
We provide specialist one on one coaching and our coaches are specifically qualified to work with children with disabilities and additional needs.
How do I sign up for a class?
1. To sign up for a class
Please register for an account with us and complete the online forms in full, including contact and medical details where needed.
Please include any additional needs or disabilities so that we can best support your child on their gymnastics journey with us.
Please select three class preferences based on day, time and location (the options available to you are based on age and school year).
Without your class preferences, we are not able to offer you a space, so please make sure this part is completed!
Once you have chosen your class preference, the office will then be notified and email you to confirm there is space in your preferred class, or discuss other options available with you.
2. Securing your class space and payment
Once you are happy with your agreed class, the office team will load the invoice onto your RGA account where you can make a secure payment.
Please note payment is required immediately, or by the deadline stated, to secure your class space.

BG insurance (required for classes)
We are registered with British Gymnastics (BG), the national governing body for gymnastics. It is compulsory for all our members to have BG Insurance for protection whilst taking part in the sport at a registered club.
Any uninsured member attending a class at RGA will be asked to sit out of the class until their insurance has been arranged. Thank you for your understanding.
This is an annual fee paid directly to BG when you join the club and renews every September. RGA cannot arrange BG insurance on your behalf due to GDPR regulations protecting your data.

More about our Disability/ Inclusion classes
Our classes provide a safe space to support physical and social development in children with additional needs. We also offer informal Discovery classes every Monday- a great way to explore the gym and see the benefits of gymnastics.
Our classes always offer a variety of equipment to explore, try and develop skills on including as the trampoline, balancing beam, bars and a soft sprung floor.
Opportunities for Disability/ Inclusion members
Our Disability/ Inclusion members are also part of our General Gymnastics programme and so have the opportunity to enter our friendly club competitions, as well as perform at festivals and displays.
