City of Edinburgh Gymnastics Club was originally established by Edinburgh Leisure in 2006 to provide a development opportunities in Women’s Artistic Gymnastics beyond recreational gymnastics for those who have the ability to progress to a higher level.
In September 2009 the club separated from Edinburgh Leisure and became an independently constituted voluntary club. A voluntary committee of parents was elected to support the head coaches in the day to day running of the club.
In January 2010 the club expanded and established its own recreational classes, and a display section to provide opportunities for gymnasts who want to participate in the sport without the pressure and the time commitment required for competition. In late 2013, the club moved most of its competitive gymnasts to Tumbles Gymnastics Centre, a purposed built gymnastics facility owned and operated by Edinburgh Leisure. The club also used Hall 7 at Meadowbank Sports Centre, and various other facilities in the city.
To reflect the club’s success and growth, and to support future plans, the club became a company limited by guarantee at the end of 2016. The club still maintains a democratic constitution and not-for-profit club ethos. Parents of competitive and recreational gymnasts interested in having a say on how the club runs can become members of the company. This gives them the right to stand for election as a director, and gives them a vote at the club’s general meetings. The club employs five full and part time coaches, whilst retaining many of its existing part-time contracted coaches. Volunteers continue to make a huge contribution.
Our General Gymnastics courses will be supervised by fully qualified coaches, children will learn basic gymnastics on our; Sprung floor, Floor Beam, Foam Vaulting Blocks, Fast Track, Tumble Track, Bars and Trampoline.
Come a long and give some gymnastics a go. You will be able to have a go on all the gymnastics equipment including bars, beam, floor and vault. Our experienced coach will be there to give you guidance and help you learn any skills you may like to try.
From little gymnasts just starting out in the sport, to older gymnasts looking to train without the pressure of competitions. Our recreational classes are for everyone to enjoy learning and progressing through our development plan in a fun environment.
This is the first step into independent gymnastics lessons. Children work through their gymnastics awards awards and receive reports and assessments alternating monthly with an end of month fun activity.
These classes are for mainly 4 year olds and the younger gymnasts, they are a smaller group to allow the young children more attention, the classes run for 1-1.5 hours. They work on the Bars, Beam, Floor and Vault and work through the British Gymnastics Explore Rise badges.
