Gymnastics is one of the largest participation sports in Great Britain, with an estimated four million people taking part on a regular basis in schools, leisure centres and clubs. Originating in ancient civilisations and introduced as a modern Olympic discipline in the nineteenth century, it is an ever growing and developing sport.
Participating in Gymnastics provides a number of benefits for participants drawing on and developing the core qualities of all-round fitness: strength, mobility, endurance, flexibility, body control and co-ordination. The diversity of gymnastics, varying equipment and a mix of skills and competencies have created a sport that meets the needs of a wide range of participants of all ages and abilities.
Gymnastics is suitable for the complete beginner to the World Class Performer, and everyone in between. There is a competition and progression structure for those that want to compete in the sport, or the opportunity to take part without competing. Gymnastics attracts women, men, boys and girls, young and old, people with disabilities, and from all socio-economic and ethnic groups.
