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
  • Children must be age 6+ to join (depending on space available)
  • 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 a space to everyone 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.

National Series Competition Time

The preparations are done and now it is almost time to return to the National Arena for the second competition of 2025!

We wish all the girls the very best of luck, we know how hard they have worked for this competition and all we ask is that they do their best on the day, enjoy the experience and make some lovely memories.

Thanks to the coaching team for the work they have put into preparing them, it takes endless hours and commitment, from both coaches and gymnasts, and they are always so proud to see the gymnasts perform on the day.

A big thank you to the parents for all the drop offs and collections and for supporting and encouraging their children when they are so busy with family and other activities, their efforts are always appreciated.

Best of luck!

Congratulations!

A huge well done to the Athlone gymnasts who attended the GymSTART competition over the weekend in the National Arena. It was a fantastic event and so nice to see the girls performing their routines so beautifully.

Congratulations to each one of them for taking part and representing themselves and their club so well. We are very proud of them – Annalie, Ella, Fia, Katie, Lexie & Nia.

A special word of Congratulations to podium placers – Fia who took home Silver in her first competition and Lexie and Nia who were both highly commended.

Thanks to the coaches for providing the training beforehand and attending the competition with the girls, we couldn’t do it without them!

New Spaces for Girls – Term 3

We have a very limited number of spaces available for girls for term 3, please see the details for ages and class times below. We do not have any spaces for girls born in 2018 or later at this time.

This is not an additional class for existing members, it is an opportunity for some new girls to join us.

Once you have registered and paid in full, you should receive an automated response from Jotform and a receipt to your email, if not in your inbox, please check in Spam folders. If you do not receive these responses, it means your form has not gone through successfully and your child has not secured a space. If another class time suits for that age, you can try a different class but once the spaces are gone, they’re gone and there is nothing further we can do to accommodate anyone who didn’t get a place as we have to keep within our ratios.

Once the classes are full, the link will deactivate automatically and no further spaces will be opened up for this term.

Saturday classes start 15th March and Sunday classes start 16th March 2025
