COMPETITIVE SQUADS
This is the first step onto the competitive ladder and involves the gymnasts committing to multiple training sessions per week.
A lot of time is spent on improving gymnasts strength, flexibility and co-ordination which will safely allow them to develop the higher level skills for County, Regional and National competitions. Gymnasts will train from 4 - 14.5 hours per week with the chance to represent the County, Region and Nation.
In order for each gymnast to reach their full potential we provide various paths to follow. All gymnasts are indiviudals and will develop at their own rate.
