Athlone Gymnastics Club

We have a very limited number of spaces available for boys born between 2009 and 2015 only. We are not taking on any members born after 1st January 2016 at this time. Unfortunately, there are no alternative days or spaces available for our Autumn term.

If you do not receive a ‘Thank You’ and a green tick from Jotform, the form was not submitted successfully. Once the class is full, the link will automatically disable, there is nothing futher we can do as we cannot add any additional spaces.

We are aware that a number of parents are looking for spaces, however, we can only offer spaces where we have suitably qualified coaches available and unfortunately, we cannot possibly respond to all the requests being made on this. If you have not already done so, please subscribe to our mailing list by hitting the ‘subscribe’ button on our home page. This will ensure you receive up to date information on spaces, camps, etc. Please note : this is not a waiting list.

For boys born between 2009 and 2012, please register using the link below. The class time is Sunday 9.00-10.30am. ***FULL***

We had a massive uptake on the spaces we opened on Friday, thank you for supporting our Club. Since then, we have been inundated with enquiries and, unfortunately, it would be impossible to get back to everyone.

For any girls born between 2009 and 2012 who were unsuccessful in getting a place over the weekend, there is now an opportunity for you to register in our class which runs on a Saturday from 4.15-5.15pm, using the link below. All other classes advertised are now full.

*** Some new spaces are now available to book for our September term***

Please ensure you click on the class link according to the year your daughter was born, otherwise you may miss the chance to register as spaces are limited. Once you book, we cannot change the class time as other classes are full at this time. If you don’t receive a ‘Thank You’ and a green tick at the end, your submission may be unsuccessful. If you get a message to say the class is full, you may try a different class for the same age group. However, once classes are full, we cannot add any further spaces.

Below is a short video which you may find useful on what you get when you register your child with a Gymnastics Ireland affiliated club. You can see from the video what is required from a club, which includes some key factors such as insurance, Garda Vetting and Child Safeguarding of all coaches along with specific training the coaches must undertake to coach in a safe way. It’s a very short video, so please take a few minutes to check it out.

ATHLONE GYMNASTICS CLUB – proud Gymnastics Ireland member club! 

#GymnasticsIreland #GIMemberClub #SafeClub 

On Saturday last, we welcomed parents back into the club for the first time in 3 years to watch gymnasts taking part in the end of year club competition. It was a fantastic day with amazing performances from every gymnast.

The standard of gymnastics from these young gymnasts was superb and something, that we, as a club, are extremely proud of, with many gymnasts tied for places. We hope parents were very proud of the way they performed in front of a crowd, not an easy thing to do! For some of these children, they have only been with us for a few months and have never taken part in a competition before.

Thanks to the coaches, judges, helpers and committee who did trojan work in bringing about such an enjoyable and successful event.

The results of the competition are as below :-
