Founded in 2011, our aim was to bring recreational gymnastics to children of all abilities in the Victoria Park area of Hackney We operate at weekends only and offer classes to children from school reception age upwards. Our gymnasts follow the Little Socks "rainbow" badge scheme, we hold an annual competition and our gymnasts also have opportunities to perform in our club “festival in a day” at the end of the summer term.
We began with 30 gymnasts many of whom are still with as coaches. We now have over 100 gymnasts and our senior gymnasts have opportunities to assist in our classes, attend judging courses and Level one coaching courses to further develop them.
We are a British Gymnastics registered club
