Gymnastics

Children will learn skills on the floor, beam, vault and other apparatus, with an opportunity to enter competitions and festivals throughout the year.

Classes are split into both ability and age groups to ensure each child reaches their own personal potential. All participants will start in beginner classes where the coaches will assess them and move them according to their ability. The classes follow the British Gymnastics Award Scheme and are suitable from ages 4 to 16. Children must be in full time education.

We’re pleased to announce that our gymnasts are now able to make their return to Derby Active Gymnastics from Tue 29 Sept, at Springwood Leisure Centre. 

To begin with we will only be able to operate on a limited timetable due to number restrictions inside the gym. Please do bare with us on this – we are so excited to get everyone back in the gym, but we also must ensure we do this as safely as possible.
