Our Autumn Term is now underway and all our classes are full for this term. Thank you to all returning members and new members who registered, spaces were filled extremely quickly and as always, the demand far exceeded the availability.

As we receive so many enquiries about new spaces, it is not possible to reply to all the messages we receive. Can we suggest that you subscribe to our mailing list by hitting the ‘subscribe’ button on our home page so that you receive updates on spaces when available, there is no charge for doing so. We no longer keep a waiting list and available spaces are first posted on our website and are strictly on a first come basis.

Kindly note that we do not accept children under the age of 6 years for Camps or weekly classes. If there is any change to this in the future, it will be advertised on our website.

We are super excited to be starting off our new Autumn Term tomorrow (3rd September). We look forward to seeing all our members again and welcoming many new members to the Club, some for the very first time. We hope you all have lots of fun and make many new friends along the way.

Everyone should have received a text message with confirmation of the start time and date of their class, if you haven’t received this, please get in touch and we will be happy to confirm it for you so that your child doesn’t miss his/her class.

We have a very limited number of spaces available for boys born between 2009 and 2015 only. We are not taking on any members born after 1st January 2016 at this time. Unfortunately, there are no alternative days or spaces available for our Autumn term.

If you do not receive a ‘Thank You’ and a green tick from Jotform, the form was not submitted successfully. Once the class is full, the link will automatically disable, there is nothing futher we can do as we cannot add any additional spaces.

We are aware that a number of parents are looking for spaces, however, we can only offer spaces where we have suitably qualified coaches available and unfortunately, we cannot possibly respond to all the requests being made on this. If you have not already done so, please subscribe to our mailing list by hitting the ‘subscribe’ button on our home page. This will ensure you receive up to date information on spaces, camps, etc. Please note : this is not a waiting list.

We had a massive uptake on the spaces we opened on Friday, thank you for supporting our Club. Since then, we have been inundated with enquiries and, unfortunately, it would be impossible to get back to everyone.

For any girls born between 2009 and 2012 who were unsuccessful in getting a place over the weekend, there is now an opportunity for you to register in our class which runs on a Saturday from 4.15-5.15pm, using the link below. All other classes advertised are now full.

Please ensure you click on the class link according to the year your daughter was born, otherwise you may miss the chance to register as spaces are limited. Once you book, we cannot change the class time as other classes are full at this time. If you don’t receive a ‘Thank You’ and a green tick at the end, your submission may be unsuccessful.

Below is a short video which you may find useful on what you get when you register your child with a Gymnastics Ireland affiliated club. You can see from the video what is required from a club, which includes some key factors such as insurance, Garda Vetting and Child Safeguarding of all coaches along with specific training the coaches must undertake to coach in a safe way. It’s a very short video, so please take a few minutes to check it out.
