A sports club based on the principles of Athletic Development. We recently celebrated our 10th anniversary.
- Gymnastics
- Running, Jumping and Throwing (Athletics)

Non-members and previous members will be most welcome to join in. All bookings are done on SPOND, you can register here.
Club Membership is £9.50 per year, plus individual session fees.
New members welcome. We take gymnasts from school year 2 and above (Children younger than that should concentrate on free play outdoors in the summer and soft play in the winter: they are too young to receive formal coaching).
We run weekly training sessions and also Sports Performance Workshops in School Holidays. We offer group and individual training, from beginners to international competitors.
“Hi James
Matthew absolutely loved it. Thank you for making it so welcoming and for giving him tips and advice to improve. He was buzzing afterwards and keen to come back. All the children and parents were very lovely outside and welcoming too.” Jenna Phillips, parent after her son’s first gymnastics session.
Our mission is to support the long-term athletic development of all our members. This then allows them to participate safely and effectively in the sport or activity they choose and to enjoy a life of quality movement.
We are affiliated with British Athletics, British Weightlifting, and British Gymnastics and currently have 112 members.
David Belle, the founder of parkour said: “The principle of Parkour is to know what you are capable of, to gain self-confidence and not to compete with others.“
Whilst some of our athletes wish to compete, our underlying philosophy is on individual development.
