Gymnastics is one of the most fundamental and exciting of all physical activities. Gymnastics skills develop attributes that are perfect stepping stones for other sports and activities: flexibility, balance, co-ordination, strength and agility.
At Southbourne Gymnastics Club we offer a wide range of sessions suitable for children aged 4-16 years of age. Our structured recreational sessions are the best place to start a gymnastics pathway. Like most activities, we begin by grouping the gymnasts by age, but as they progress they will move into ability levels.
With the chance to use a wide variety of equipment every session its a safe environment to build skills across bars, beam, floor, vault and the tumble track.

Currently our recreational sessions are 45 minutes in duration and run on
Thursday 4.15-5pm
Thursday 5.15-6pm
Thursday 6.15-7pm
Friday 6.45-7.30pm
Saturday 8.30-9.15am
Saturday 9.15-10am

Gymnasts that show hard work, commitment and potential are invited into one of the many progressive pathways available. One of our coaching team will advise when your child is ready to move class.

We felt the British Gymnastics award system was too limited for our recreational gymnastics classes so we have developed our own club proficiency awards. Gymnasts work towards achieving medals and certificates on all four pieces of equipment throughout the term. The club provides the opportunity for our recreational and squad gymnasts to come together to demonstrate their ability at our annual Wendy Lewis Club Championships which is usually held in June. This is a fun and friendly take on the competitive structure.
