Written by Administrator   

The club is based in Yate - South Glos, UK, with satellite clubs in Bradley Stoke, Thornbury, and Congresbury. It has been dedicated to Acrobatic Gymnastics since the sport's early days, and has become world renowned. The club's head coach is Nikki Thorne - one of Great Britain's National Coaches. Niki is the middle link in a 3-generation dynasty of acro coaches!

From Toddler to International Athlete

The club offers a welcome to all standards of potential gymnast. From gym-fun classes for toddlers - where the emphasis is on gentle and fun development for the child. Through to serious international competition training. (Where gentle is emphasised rather less!). Gymnasts can get an early taste of an appropriate level of competition (if they want to) by taking part in the local and regional competitions organised under the auspices of British Gymnastics' National Development Plan scheme.
For those that have the talent, enthusiasm and commitment, the club will then guide them through the ranks, and help them realise their potential. For gymnasts that reach elite levels - a highly rewarding, if demanding collaboration is formed between coaches, gymnasts and parents.

Battle Honours

The club aims high, and has achieved fantastic results. We are currently reigning world champions in the 11-16 age group mixed pair category!

What do kids get out of it?

Having fun, making new friends, learning about: hard work, discipline, competition, determination, self esteem, trust, respect and camaraderie.

And maybe developing a six-pack.

What do mums get out of it?

Crying at your child's first competition.

What do dads get out it?

Trying not to cry at your child's first competition.(And dim memories of your own six pack).
