About Meridian gymnastics

The aim of Meridian Gymnastics Club is to offer children of all ages and abilities the opportunity to participate in gymnastics at a recreational or a competitive level in a supportive and friendly environment.

Our gymnasts have lots of fun learning the basics and are given the opportunity to progress to squad level should they have the potential and determination to do so. Through structured and progressive training children develop a range of skills requiring balance, coordination, flexibility, speed, power,endurance and mental skill.

Gymnastics also develops passion which gymnasts may want to share by training as young leaders, teachers and coaches. The fantastic sport of gymnastics, allows children to gain confidence, patience, respect and discipline - all essential life’s skills.

Meridian offers recreational classes for both girls and boys of all ages. These are basic gymnastic classes in which vault, bars, beam,floor and trampette skills are introduced. We encourage the children to develop their talents, which in turn builds courage and self-confidence.

Intermediate/Competition

The Intermediate/Competition class is for gymnasts who have moved on from recreational classes, showing potential and committed to training more hours to hopefully achieve their goals of competing. Prompt classes in proper club attire, like for the comp class.

Competition

Competition squads are for gymnasts who are dedicated to achieving their potential and competing. We provide a competitive route for gymnasts who have the physical and mental capabilities to perform within this environment and wish to compete for the club. The training regimes are more comprehensive to real gymnastics training.

COMPETITIONS

A certain standard is required before a gymnast can enter competitions outside the club. This is normally at the coaches discretion i.e. if a coach feels that a gymnast is physically and mentally prepared for competitions, the parents would be approached before asking the gymnast.

The following procedure is carried out when the club is notified of a forthcoming competition:-

All eligible gymnasts are informed of the venue and date and asked whether they are able to compete
The entry fee will then be requested
Should your child be withdrawn from the competition by you for any reason, the entry fee will have to be paid and not returned as the club cannot recoup the cost
We are normally notified of times a week before the competition. We would then inform the parent
It is imperative that all gymnasts arrive before their warm up time.
When our gymnasts compete in these competitions their behaviour and appearance has always to be impeccable.
Full uniform must be worn, no shoes or jewellery allowed.
Gymnasts must remain with coaches throughout the competition.

Taking part and having fun is foremost...

...winning is an added bonus!
