Farnham Gymnastics Club

Farnham Gymnastics Club is a friendly recreational club based at Farnham Sports Centre and is run by Christina Palmer who has had over 25 years of coaching experience.

Children begin their gymnastics with us as Pre-school or recreational gymnasts in classes that are mixed boys and girls, with mixed age groups and abilities. We are not a competitive club. Our aim is to provide your child with enjoyment in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere whilst learning  gymnastic skills at a ‘recreational’ level. Children develop skills such as balance, coordination, integration and confidence as they work through various Award Schemes administered by the British Gymnastics Association.

Gymnastics is great fun and provides a foundation for many other sports. It can be used as a stepping stone in preparing the child to participate and succeed in all types of sporting events. It teaches many of the basic skills children will require in later life, such as discipline, socialising, team spirit and confidence building.

We have classes for boys and girls from the age of three upwards. There are sessions to suit all needs, from the beginner to the more advanced gymnast. Our members participate in small groups with experienced coaches. Your child will have a personal coach for the duration of each course in order for his/her progress to be constantly monitored.

British Gymnastics is the governing body for the sport. It has created programmes for coaches to be able to teach the fundamental gymnastic skills from babies to adults.
