About Our Club
NNGC is a friendly, community-focused recreational gymnastics club proudly affiliated with British Gymnastics. Founded in the 1990s, we’ve been supporting children in our local area for over 30 years. We welcome girls and boys aged 5–11, with hourly sessions running on Saturday mornings from 09:00–13:00, depending on age. What makes us special is our commitment to the individual. Ev
ery gymnast has a personal weekly plan, created by our coaches, to ensure they progress at their own pace and stay motivated. As children grow with us, we also support and train them to become young leaders and future coaches themselves — building confidence, responsibility, and a love of giving back. What We Do
Our general gymnastics programme is all about fun, movement, and development. Gymnasts learn skills in:
Balance
Coordination
Flexibility
Strength
Overall fitness
All gymnasts work towards British Gymnastics RISE awards, which can be purchased when each level is completed. According to British Gymnastics, you won’t find a better sport for building physical and personal skills:
Fun – Turning upside down, trying new tricks, and being active is naturally exciting for children. Fitness – Regular movement supports a lifelong healthy lifestyle. Friendship – A safe, positive space to make friends and share challenges. Fundamentals – Develops early movement patterns essential for growth and physical development. Coordination & Body Control – Teaches safe landings, spatial awareness, and agility. Confidence & Self-Esteem – Achieving new skills helps children feel proud and capable. Listening & Focus – Learning to listen to coaches and peers is a skill that extends into everyday life. Goal Setting – Whether conquering a new skill or progressing towards awards, children learn how to set and achieve goals. Cognitive Learning – Skill acquisition supports thinking, focus, and problem-solving both in and out of the gym. Transferable Skills – Even if children move on from gymnastics, the coordination, strength, discipline, and fitness they gain benefit all other sports and life activities.
