Erewash Valley Boys gymnastics has been established for about 5 years now. It has grown in strength since moving to the new premises and is coached by a number of dedicated and keen coaches who are continually developing their skills in line with the requirements from British Gymnastics.
We offer gymnastics to boys between the ages of 5 and 18 years, although boys 16 to 18 who have never participated in the sport may prefer to try the adult class.
The total number of boys belonging to the club is running at about 50. Currently the boys mainly concentrate on floor, vault and tumbling competitions with some team gym and display work.
The training times offered to the recreational boys is 1hour 15 minutes. This is offered on a Saturday morning 9.30am to 10.45am or a Friday evening 6pm to 7.15pm.
Boys who demonstrate the ability and enthusiasm for the sport now have an additional opportunity to train for 2 hours on a Tuesday (floor and tumbling only) and 2 hours on a Wednesday, as well as Saturday mornings until 12 midday.
Please note the Tuesday and Wednesday sessions are by invitation only.
We pride ourselves on giving every boy whatever their ability an opportunity to participate and have fun within in the sport of gymnastics. This is highlighted by the low drop out rate particularly from the older boys and recreational side. However we are also trying to coach those boys with ability to “be the best they can be”. Therefore our groups are organised in ability first, then age.
Every year we hold an in house competition and display in which every gymnast is expected to participate. The competition is organised to enable Parents and carers the opportunity to watch the boys show off their skills and see the boys working together on team displays.
