From our annual Club Competition to National Artistic Competitions, we believe giving children the opportunity to compete teaches them key life skills such as determination, resilience and empathy. Competitive training programmes are specifically designed for each group in order to prepare them for competitions that take place throughout the year. As well as competitions, gymnasts are involved in annual displays and trips.

Our dedicated and experienced Coaches invite gymnasts to join our competitive pathways from our School-Aged gymnastics classes. Baskervilles has a variety of competitive Girls and Boys training pathways:

• Classes run during term-time and break during the holidays.

We proudly affiliate our competitive gymnasts with the Independent Gymnastics Association (IGA) “where passion meets purpose in fostering a thriving gymnastics community”.
