UEA Gymnastics Club: a recreational gymnastics club for UEA students and alumni of all abilities

Welcome to UEA Gymnastics Club!

Whether you already have a background in gymnastics or are a complete beginner wanting to try something new and exciting while keeping fit, this club is for you!

Our main sessions are coached by Kayleigh Cooper and Rob Yates, with our competition training being coached by Jemma Waldock, all at the Spring Centre in the Sportspark on campus. All of our coaches hold British Gymnastics coaching qualifications. 


Membership

As with all UEA sports clubs, members must have UEA Sport Membership which is available to purchase on the SU website. Go to Opportunities -> membership -> scroll down until you see the red tab 'purchase UEA+Sport Full year Membership' or 'purchase UEA+Sport Half year Membership' and select the appropriate one for you. 

General membership for the UEA Gymnastics Club is £70 for the year, or £35 per semester, which gives you access to at least 1 professionally coached gymnastics session. 

Competition membership is £55 for the year, with one-off tickets being £3; this gives you access to competition training once per week.

  • Monday 18:00 - 20:00 (General Gymnastics) - Spring Centre
  • Thursday 20:00 - 22:20 (General Gymnastics) - Spring Centre
  • Sunday 17:00-19:00 (Competition Gymnastics) - Spring Centre - * competition membership required to attend

 

Competitions

Competitions are open to all members, whether you are a complete beginner or an elite gymnast, there is a level for you, and we would love you to compete with us!

You are not required to buy a competition leotard to compete

For those who want to compete, a competition membership offers additional training time to practice skills and routines, along with support from committee members and coaches to understand competition requirements and create routines. However, you do not have to come to competition training to be able to compete. 

We participate in the University Gymnastics Cup (South), who host 5 competitions per year and in the annual BUCS Gymnastics Championship.
