Equipment

We have an exciting range of equipment comprised of Crash Mats, Spring boards, Trampette, Vault, Beams, and a whole bunch of inflatables like tracks, barrels and floor beam (including a brand new super exciting and bouncy 15m x 2m tumbling track!).

Changing & What to bring

We currently aren’t providing changing facilities, so please ensure that gymnasts arrive at the venue already dressed and ready to start in either a leotard and optional shorts, or shorts and tshirt. Outdoor clothes can be worn over the top then removed once inside the venue. No jewellery or hoodies are permitted due to insurance restrictions. If you wish to buy a leotard, check out our shop (in partnership with International Dance Supplies / IDS).

We also suggest bringing a water bottle and will allow regular water breaks.

Advanced gymnasts are welcome to bring any equipment relevant to their training (e.g. chalk, guards etc.)

Driving / Parking

There is free parking in the school car park. If driving, please do use the large car park to the rear left of the school and strictly avoid parking on Inderwick Rd. This is to minimise disruption to local residents, as any complaints would jeopardise our use of this venue.
