Update for those wishing to join our club

As we are inundated with enquiries about new members joining our Club, it is not possible to reply to all those messages individually, there simply would not be enough hours to do so.

The procedure is as outlined already on our website and here is a summary, as follows :-

  • Subscribe to our mailing list on our website www.athlonegymnasticsclub.ie by hitting the subscribe button on this page (please note – this is not a waiting list)
  • Whenever spaces are available, the links to those classes are advertised on our website and are open to anyone who falls within the years outlined for a particular class. If you have subscribed, you will receive a notification of this new post to the email address that you used when you subscribed. We do not make individual contact with our subscribers. We have no control over the time the email is delivered to your inbox
  • Spaces are strictly on a first come basis so we have no control over who gets a space or not
  • Children must be born before 1st January 2017 to join our club
  • We do not operate a waiting list, nor do we hold spaces for a later date

We realise that gymnastics is a very popular sport and we would love to be able to offer everyone a space who wishes to join us, however, we have to be guided by the number of coaches we have available at any time. All our coaches are fully qualified under Gymnastics Ireland, our National Governing Body, are Garda Vetted and have completed their Child Safeguarding in accordance with the Children First Act.

Please note : we do not currently run gymnastics classes for Adults.

GymSTART Competition

Next up is the GymSTART Competition which takes place over the weekend in the National Indoor Arena. This competition is all about personal achievement, and should be lots of fun.

Best of luck to the Athlone participants – Aela, Aden, Alannah, Aoife, Ella, Isabella, Layla, Lexie and Rose and, the boys – Aaron and Malachy. Well done on the training preparations, we saw huge improvements in just a few short weeks and are always amazed by what can be achieved. We hope everyone enjoys the whole experience of the competition along with meeting gymnasts from other clubs and seeing all the action. We can’t wait to see all the performances on the day.

Thanks to the coaching team for making this happen and to the parents for encouraging and supporting their child to participate, in their already extremely busy schedules. Have a safe journey and enjoy the event!

Our gym is closed for all classes on Saturday, 13th April while we go and support the gymnasts.

Congratulations!

We had amazing results from the recent National Series Competition and we are so proud of the gymnasts who took part with such a super positive attitude. The girls all totally supported each other throughout the competition and really cheered each other on. Some of these girls have only been training together for the past few months and have already formed such a close bond and lovely friendships and this was very evident throughout the competition.

Massive CONGRATULATIONS to all the girls on super performances and to the medal winners, well done :-

Laoise – SILVER ALL AROUND

Sarah – BRONZE ALL AROUND

Mya – GOLD – Floor

Lucy – GOLD – Vault (her very 1st Competition)

Thanks to Saoirse for Judging on the day and to coaches – Saoirse, Tara and Gráinne for looking after the gymnasts throughout the competition, they are super proud of their gymnasts’ achievements and are already looking forward to the next one!

Best of Luck!

It’s time for the first National Series Competition of 2024.

Best of luck to gymnasts Alannah, Blathín, Caoimhe, Éabha, Lucy and Saoirse who are taking part in their first National competition over the weekend. We hope they enjoy it and it lives up to all their expectations and more!

Also competing over the weekend are Eva, Laoise, Sarah and Mya, we wish them every success and hope they have a fabulous time. They have all been working incredibly hard over the past few months to prepare for this competition and now is the time to showcase all the efforts they have put into it. We are so proud of everything they have achieved to date.

Thanks to coaches Saoirse, Tara and Gráinne for their ongoing commitment and putting the gymnasts through their paces week after week and helping them to overcome whatever obstacles they encounter along the way.

Thanks as always to the parents for their support, encouragement and car journeys getting the girls to and from training and competitions, none of this would be possible otherwise!

Safe travels and enjoy the competition.
