The Whitehaven Sports Centre offers a wide range of gymnastics classes providing quality gymnastics which is accessible to everyone.

Participation in gymnastics offers many physical and social benefits in a fun and safe environment, which include

  • The development of fundamental skills

  • Increased fitness, strength, co-ordination, balance and flexibility

  • The development of exceptional teamwork skills

  • Increased levels of confidence

  • Most importantly ENJOYMENT

Gymnasts will work on floor skills as well as vault, bars and beam and will work towards the British Proficiency Awards Scheme. The sessions are lead by our fully qualified coaches.

Classes run all year with the easy opiton of Direct Debit. 

We have sessions for pre-schoolers, five to seven year olds, eight years and over, and a pre-squad class which bridges the gap between recreational and squad gymnastics. There are also Junior and Senior Squad groups for more advanced gymnasts.

Better Lessons Home Portal

The HomePortal is a lessons & courses tracking site that allows you to manage multiple children and courses from one account.

It enables you to view each child and all of their courses (and their days/times) with a single glance, and if you click on your child’s name or lesson, you have a more in depth view of that child’s courses.

Where you can view your child’s attendance and progress towards skills and awards, so it keeps you updated as they progress in each course.

You can even book onto new courses through the HomePortal!
