Information for Gymnasts and Parents

SESSIONS

• Friday 4.30pm – 6.00 pm

• Friday 6.00pm – 7.30 pm

• Friday 7.30pm – 9.00 pm
All our sessions are open access and open to all, however our later sessions are intended primarily for adults. We do not differentiate between adult recreational and adult performance so you can attend any session.

We hope that your gymnasts will work towards competitions, but there will be no pressure to do so if they would prefer not to.

Parents are welcome to stay and watch (although we might try to convince you to join in). Please do come and see how your children are progressing even if you don't come each week - and it's always nice to meet you.

We are very keen to train gymnasts to become coaches if they wish - we can support them through their coaching qualifications as needed.

WHAT TO WEAR

• Please wear appropriate sports clothing (leggings, shorts, tracksuit bottoms plus a short or long sleeved top), or gymnastics leotard/shorts/trousers. Long sleeves and trousers are recommended when learning some skills (front landings in particular).
• Socks or trampoline shoes MUST be worn. Please check your socks don't have holes!!
• No hoodies.
• Trailing strings (waist ties on tracksuit bottoms usually) must be tucked inside.
• No jewellery may be worn. If you cannot remove earrings they should be taped over.
• Gymnasts who cover their hair should wear sports hijabs. There are many varieties of these available (try here for example) - please contact us if you have any issues accessing one. Gymnasts WILL NOT be allowed to compete with normal hijabs.
• Hair should be tied back securely.

FEES

These are paid monthly in advance. We cannot offer a PAYG system since we are committed to hall hire costs monthly of £425 per month, although we are a not-for-profit organisation and all coaches are unpaid volunteers.

We ask for a membership fee from everyone, although we can waive this for certain categories of member.

Club Membership fee (annual) £30
 

Session fees

• 1 session per week = £33 per month
• Additional sessions or siblings £25 per month

We offer a free trial session but we hope that you will want to continue with us.
Fees are payable by a monthlyinstalment on the 1st of each month.

This is handled by our online booking system:

(Note that if you are an adult the system can't cope so just enter any age when requested)
The invoice amount will remain the same every month. Fees have been calculated for 46 weeks of the year and divided into 12
equal payments in an attempt to make it easier for people setting up a standing order/budgeting purposes.

British Gymnastics membership fee (annual).

In addition to monthly session payment, there’s an annual Insurance payment made to British Gymnastics.

This cost is the same regardless of when you pay it in the year.
