We provide opportunities for individuals to participate in the sport of gymnastics. We provide training for coaches. We include specialist support to schools and provide out-routes for school sports.
Why the community needs usWe are the only purpose built gymnastics facility within Calderdale and we are one of the biggest in Yorkshire. We provide a venue for nearly 1000 children and young people to participate in a formal sporting activity at a level to suit their needs and aspirations. We aim to maintain our subscriptions at a level which makes us open to members regardless of their background. We also provide specialist support to schools both through the provision of coaches and allowing them to use our facility.
Our impact on the communityWe offer sessions at all levels so that children may become involved at a level to suit them. For some participants they attend a session for mainly social reasons, however, they gain the benefit of physical activity. Other children aspire to compete at the highest levels and we are also committed to helping them achieve their goals. There are a lot of children who fall in between these levels. All coaches are qualified and receive training in Safeguarding and First Aid. We also do CRB checks.
