The Cambridge Cangaroos is a well-established gymnastics club and sports complex located in Whittlesford, just south of Cambridge. Founded in 2004, the club offers both recreational and competitive trampoline gymnastics programmes for individuals of all ages and abilities, starting from as young as 4 years old. The club's mission is to provide a safe and fun environment for members to develop their skills and achieve their potential in the sport.
At the Cambridge Cangaroos, members are coached through the British Gymnastics (BG) recognised awards schemes and competition grades, ensuring a structured and progressive approach to their training. The club not only focuses on skill development but also encourages members to participate in regional, national, and international competitions held across the country and even abroad.
In addition to competitions, the club also actively engages with the local community by performing demonstrations at public events during the summer, such as The Big Weekend and The Shelford Feast. This allows members to showcase their talents and promote the sport of trampolining to a wider audience.
The Cambridge Cangaroos takes pride in being an inclusive club, welcoming individuals with special needs to participate alongside their peers in regular club sessions. However, for those who prefer a more specialised environment, the club also provides separate sessions tailored to children with special needs, ensuring that everyone can enjoy and benefit from the sport.
Trampolining, the core discipline of the club, is a competitive Olympic sport where gymnasts perform a variety of acrobatic manoeuvres while bouncing on a trampoline. From simple jumps in various positions to complex combinations of somersaults and twists, trampolining offers a dynamic and exhilarating experience for participants. It is not only a sport suited for athletes but also a great workout for individuals looking to improve their fitness in a fun and unique way.
The Cambridge Cangaroos is run by a dedicated committee of volunteers, supported by a team of experienced and passionate coaches. To ensure fair and accurate judging at competitions, the club also has qualified judges who provide their expertise and assistance.
For individuals interested in joining the Cambridge Cangaroos, the club offers trial sessions where newcomers can experience the sport and the club's training environment firsthand. Whether you are a beginner or have previous gymnastics experience, the club provides a welcoming and supportive community that encourages individual growth and achievement.
