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 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 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.

Congratulations!

We had a fantastic weekend of gymnastics at the National Indoor Arena with gymnasts competing across many levels. The weekend really showcased how the sport has grown in Ireland over the past few years with over 2,000 competitors taking part across all gymnastics disciplines. It is incredibly entertaining to watch the skill and performances from all the gymnasts and to see that Athlone is well represented on the National stage.

Huge Congratulations to all our gymnasts who competed, putting in amazing performances, we are so proud of them and what they have achieved with our Club.

Massive well done to our medal winners :-

Alannah – Gold in her very first National Series Competition

Laoise – Silver on Vault

Mya – Bronze on Floor

Sport is not just about the medals, the hard work and commitment that goes into training and the friendships made along the way are a huge part of it.

Many of the age groups had huge numbers competing and some of our gymnasts narrowly missed out on a podium place by the finest of margins – Aoibhinn was extremely unlucky not to place on Vault with an excellent score, Laoise was also very unfortunate not to medal on Floor or in the All around competition, she came really close with super scores for her routines. Kate performed her Yurchenko Vault for the first time at a Competition and the first time for an Athlone gymnast to perform it, requiring nerves of steel to execute it!

Well done to all the gymnasts – Aden, Alannah, Aoibhinn, Isla, Kate, Laoise, Mya and Sarah, we are so proud of you.

Time to shine!

Wishing our gymnasts the very best of luck in the upcoming National Series competition over the weekend – Laoise, Kate, Aden, Alannah, Sarah, Isla, Mya and Aoibhinn.

Competitions are special times when some lovely memories are made, regardless of the outcome. The girls have been working on their routines all throughout the Summer and we know they will do their very best when the day comes around. You’ve got this girls!

Thanks to the superb coaching team for their time and commitment in preparing the gymnasts and attending the competition with them, without them, none of this would be possible.

Safe travelling to all on their journey to and from the competition and have a wonderful time supporting the girls!
