David Morton, the organiser, would like to extend a warm invitation to the entire sports community to join the City of Edinburgh Gymnastics Club. Located in Edinburgh, this club offers a structured pathway for children to develop their gymnastics skills, from recreational to competitive levels.
David emphasises that the club's recreational classes are open to both boys and girls, catering to beginners and intermediates alike. These classes focus on basic gymnastics skills as well as general sports skills like agility, balance, and coordination. Classes are held once a week, and further details are available on the club’s website.
For girls interested in competitive gymnastics, the club provides both 2-piece and 4-piece sections, supporting those on all British Gymnastics performance pathways. Additionally, the club has a display team that performs at various festivals throughout the year, including the Scottish Gymfest. Current and former competitive gymnasts can trial for this team, providing a fun opportunity to showcase choreographed routines.
David assures that the club is staffed by a team of dedicated coaches, all qualified to British Gymnastics standards and have undergone enhanced Criminal Records Bureau checks for the safety of all participants. The coaches are committed to helping each child reach their full potential in the sport.
The club is a company limited by guarantee with charitable status, regulated by OSCR, and affiliated with the Scottish Gymnastics Association. All gymnasts, including those in recreational classes, are individually affiliated to Scottish Gymnastics.
Joining City of Edinburgh Gymnastics Club means becoming part of a supportive community of gymnasts, coaches, and parents who share the common goal of fostering a fun, safe, and motivating environment for aspiring gymnasts in Edinburgh and its surroundings.
