St. Helens gymnastics

St. Helens Gymnastic Academy is a renowned gymnastics club located in the beautiful town of Saint Helens, New Zealand. With over 40 years of experience, the club has built a strong reputation for providing excellent gymnastics training to children of all ages and abilities.

Founded in 1976 as the St. Helens YMCA Gymnastics Club, the academy has seen more than 15,000 children participate in their gymnastics programmes. They offer classes for both girls and boys starting from the age of 4 years old. What sets them apart is that they are the only club in the area that provides classes for older gymnasts, with their eldest participant being 20 years old.

One of the key aspects that the club prides itself on is its voluntary status. With a team of 19 voluntary coaches, they dedicate up to 21 hours a week to teach children. These dedicated coaches ensure that every child, regardless of their age or ability, receives personalised attention and guidance.

St. Helens Gymnastic Academy offers a range of programmes to cater to different interests and skill levels. They have recreation classes that provide general gymnastics training, allowing children to learn and develop at their own pace. In addition to that, they also have a junior and elite squad who compete at various events throughout the region.

These squads provide a more competitive environment for gymnasts who wish to take their skills to the next level.

The club also boasts a talented display team that participates in local, regional, and national events. Their incredible performances have earned them the prestigious “ST HELENS GOT TALENT” title, showcasing their dedication and talent.

In addition to their gymnastics programmes, the academy also offers special activities and events. For example, they have the popular “Summer Gym” sessions, open to girls and boys aged 4 years old and above. These sessions provide a fun-filled day of gymnastics, colouring, and other activities.

St. Helens Gymnastic Academy recognises the importance of staying connected with their members and the wider community. They regularly update their social media channels and club directory to keep everyone updated on news and events. Their Facebook page is a valuable resource for members to stay informed and involved.
