Just because the gym is closed, gymnastics does not need to stop!
This is only for our members currently in a 1-2 hour class. We want you to send us pictures of your gymnast doing their best handstand, to our club phone 083 8333171 (preferably by WhatsApp) before 25th March. Please ensure you put your child’s name on the text.
The winners will have their handstand picture painted by Saoirse, one winner in the girls category and one in the boys. Get practicing gymnasts and have fun!
Some good news!

As of today no decision has yet been made in relation to whether or not Easter Camps will go ahead. The period currently given for school closures, etc., is 29th March and as our Camps fall outside of this period it is too early to speculate.
In the event that the Camps have to be cancelled, all parents will be contacted and payment will be refunded.
In the meantime the health and safety of our members, staff and community is our priority and we will be following the advice from the HSE and playing our part in helping to stop the spread of this virus.
Don’t panic, follow the HSE guidelines and look after the vulnerable in our society and we will all get through this. Stay safe!
Following the recent government announcement with regard to COVID-19 we will be closing the gym after our last class tonight until further notice.
We feel it is important that we all play our part in minimising this outbreak and be especially mindful of the more vulnerable members of society.
We will be in touch again when we have an update and hopefully we won’t have to remain closed for long. In the meantime, keep up the practice at home and be ready to come back re-energised!
As always we can be contacted by email administrator@athlonegymnasticsclub.ie or on 083 8333171.
Stay well and safe everyone!

We have a very limited number of spaces available for the following classes ONLY, strictly on a first come first served basis.
These are the only spaces available. If you are not successful in getting a space this term, please keep an eye on our website for next term! In the meantime, we are running Easter Camps and members and non members aged 6 before 1st January 2020 are welcome to attend those also.
Please note that once your child is booked into a class she cannot move to a different day for the duration of the term. We cannot offer a refund if your child changes his/her mind.
If you do not make the necessary payment when registering, we do not receive a registration form and therefore, your child has not obtained a space.
