About Valley Gymnastics Academy
Our gymnastics club is dedicated to providing children with a fun and supportive environment where they can discover the joy of gymnastics. They will learn a variety of different skills working on different apparatus throughout each 10-week block of sessions, with the aim to increase confidence and self-belief along the way.
Our head coach, Hayley, is supported by a team of experience coaches each of which are qualified with our affiliated National Governing Body of the Independent Gymnastics Association (IGA) to varying levels.
Each 10-week block also includes ‘badge week’, in which gymnasts will have the opportunity to carry out a variety of skills set by IGA to earn themselves a certificate and certificate. Each badge increases in difficulty starting at level 15 all the way to gold level.
