Club Dates

Gymnastics All Year Round

At North Leeds Gymnastics Academy, our timetable is built around the school year. Classes run during term time, with short breaks for half-term and longer pauses at Christmas, Easter, and summer.

This gives families a clear routine while ensuring our gymnasts enjoy consistent training throughout the year. Alongside regular classes, we also run holiday camps, in-house competitions, and special displays so every child has the chance to try new experiences and show off what they’ve learned.

We’ll always share exact dates with members well in advance by email and at the gym, but the sections below give you an idea of how the club year is organised and the types of events you can look forward to.

Typical Club Year

Our training year follows the rhythm of the school calendar, making it easy for families to plan ahead:

Autumn Term – September to December (with a half-term break in late October).
Spring Term – January to Easter (with a half-term break in February).
Summer Term – April to July (with a half-term break in May/June).
Closed for Christmas, Easter, and the long summer holidays.

This structure keeps things consistent for our gymnasts while also giving them plenty of rest and recovery time during the main school breaks.

Annual Club Events

Alongside weekly training, we host a number of special events that bring the NLGA community together. These are a fantastic way for gymnasts to celebrate progress, perform in front of family and friends, and simply have fun:

Christmas Displays & Parties – fun performances and celebrations for all members.
In-House Friendly Competitions – for Gym Stars, Superstars, and Foundation gymnasts to showcase their skills.
Summer Picnic & Display Event – a family fun day with activities, displays, and games.
Additional Squad Competitions – offered throughout the year at regional and county level.

These events are always highlights in our calendar, giving gymnasts the chance to shine beyond their weekly classes.
