Success for our gymnasts at the North West General Gymnastics Competition.|
Recreational Classes at Target Life Dialstone We now have the use of the gymnasium for the weekend as well as the sports hall. This allows us to run the recreational sessions alongside the club sessions throughout the weekend. This gives gymnasts more choice as to when they want to train and for how long. In the gymnasium the set up consists of a set of bars, a high and low beam, a vault and a floor area. There will be 3 groups, each no more than 8 gymnasts, making the atmosphere less frantic than previous sessions. Parents viewing is restricted but is encouraged. The gymnasium will be used for all 9 sessions. The sports hall is also be available during some of the sessions to allow use of the ski run and rebound. Rebound is good fun and will be available during most of the 9 sessions. The ski run is important for gymnasts wanting to flick, but not all gymnasts need to use it. The ski run will only be available during the 3 Saturday morning sessions. As we are able to use the ski run and rebound for these sessions we will be able to have 2 more groups. During each session there will be a warm up followed by 25 minutes on the first piece and then 25 minutes on the second piece. We offer both 1 and 2 hour sessions. Saturday morning sessions are 1 hour only, but all other sessions will support 2 hours classes. Gymnasts can train for sessions 4 and 5, sessions 6 and 7 and sessions 8 and 9. The Club The club is a private organisation and hires Target Life Dialstone, as any user could. We are governed by a Constitution and are affiliated to British Gymnastics, the sports governing body. All coaches have been through some form of training to allow them to coach. We have 22 coaches with BG qualifications. We are Gym Mark accredited, the sign of a child friendly club. We have a child Protection Officer and all coaches have been CRB checked. We participate in the British Gymnastics Proficiency Scheme, which used to called BAGA Badges. There are 8 badges which cover general gymnastics and a further 6 more advanced badges which cover floor and vault apparatus. At Christmas we run a competition open to all gymnasts followed by a disco and party. In the Summer we usually take part in one of the local carnivals, either Stockport or Hazel Grove. How to Join If you are interested in gymnastics and would like to join our club, then the best idea is to come on a Saturday morning at 10.00 and have a look at the club and how the sessions are run. Your first session is free. If there is room in the club, then you can start immediately. If not then there is the waiting list. The Waiting List Gymnastics in Stockport is very popular, especially after the last Olympics. We have a longish waiting list depending on the time that you want and the age and sex of your child. Do apply by sending an email to the club or filling in an application form on this website. |
