What to Expect
When your child joins NLGA, they’ll be welcomed into a club that’s focused on helping every gymnast enjoy the sport and reach their potential.
Fun, Progressive ClassesSessions are designed to be engaging and rewarding, with activities that build confidence as well as skills. Every child is encouraged to learn at their own pace, so no one feels left behind. |
A Safe EnvironmentAll classes are led by British Gymnastics registered coaches who combine technical knowledge with patience and encouragement. Safety is always the top priority, both on and off the equipment. |
Pathway for ProgressionFrom our Gym Stars, through to Gym Superstars and competitive Squads, children are placed in classes that match their age and ability. This means there’s always a next step when they’re ready. |
The result? Children develop not only gymnastics skills, but also confidence, discipline, and friendships that last beyond the gym.

Reward Scheme
We believe progress should be celebrated as much as performance. That’s why we’ve created our own Development Awards scheme, designed to give gymnasts a clear sense of achievement as they grow in the sport.
There’s no rush, every child moves at their own pace, and our coaches make sure the journey is positive and motivating. For some gymnasts, a badge is an exciting milestone; for others, it’s the stepping stone to the next challenge. Either way, progress is celebrated and every effort is recognised.
- Each level includes 30 skills across floor, vault, beam, and bars.
- Skills are introduced gradually, giving every child the chance to build confidence and master the basics before moving on.
- Once a gymnast demonstrates a skill to a good standard, they can progress and may choose to purchase a rosette and certificate as a keepsake of their hard work.

Payment & Membership
To keep things simple and consistent for families, our club uses a clear payment and membership system:
Monthly Training FeesClass fees are paid in regular monthly instalments through our secure admin system, Love Admin. This helps spread the cost evenly across the year. |
Annual Club MembershipA once-a-year fee is payable each August (pro rata if you join mid-year). This helps cover essential running costs and keeps the club accessible for all. |
BG MembershipAll gymnasts are required to register with British Gymnastics. This is paid directly to BG each year and provides insurance and safeguarding. |
By keeping payments straightforward, we can focus more on what matters most, giving your child a safe, supportive, and enjoyable gymnastics experience.
