Derby City Gymnastics Club

General information

The aim of the club is to encourage each gymnast to attain their highest possible level, in accordance with the British Gymnastics Association National Development Plan.

We offer the opportunity to try the different disciplines within gymnastics, which include: Sports Acrobatics, Tumbling, Women's Artistic, Trampolining, Pre-school, General/Recreational Gymnastics, Display Teams and Competitions.

In 2006 Derby City Gymnastics Club were one of the first clubs in the country to receive the Gym Mark accreditation. This is an assurance of quality, tested by British Gymnastics on behalf of Sport England and gives parents and gymnasts the reassurance that the club is nationally recognized as safe, effective and child-friendly.

Derby City Gymnastics Club was established in 1998, the first sessions being held at various schools and leisure center's around Derby. Over the first 12 months the club had grown from just one session a week to many sessions being held five times a week. The numbers grew so fast that these sessions could not keep up with the demand and so in 2004 we opened our own fully equipped gymnastics Centre and soon the membership grew to over 400 gymnasts.

The opportunity then came along to develop Lancaster Sports Centre into a purpose built gymnastics Centre and so in January 2007 this site was re-opened. The increased space and better equipment has allowed the club to grow and also enabled the gymnasts to reach their full potential.

The Club now consists of over 600 gymnasts across all the discipline's!
