The Recreational Christmas Competition results are now online|
Recreational Classes at Dialstone Recreation Centre Each Saturday morning at the Dialstone Recreation Centre the club runs recreational classes for boys and girls between the ages of 4 to 18. The classes are popular and there is currently a waiting list, we have taken less than 5 new members in the 2006 Autumn term. There is an application form on the website but we recommend that if you are interested, to visit one Saturday, have a free session and then put your name on the waiting list. Each girl when they first come to the club is given an assessment to check their ability and which will be the best group for them to join. |

Session Organisation There are 6 pieces laid out in the gym. They are bars, beams, floor, vault, a ski run (tumble track) and rebound (trampet). Between April and October we also have the use of 2 trampolines, although they are only used when the trampoline coach is available. There are 9 groups of gymnasts in each of the hour long sessions of the same sex, similar age and ability. There are a range of ages in each of the sessions and 1 group of boys. Each session starts with a warm up to music and then 25 minutes on one of the 6 pieces. The second 25 minute period is on a different piece. The rotation is continued over a six week period. |

Waiting List Gymnastics in Stockport is very popular, especially after the last Olympics. We have a longish waiting list depending on the time that you want and the age of your child. Do apply by sending an email to the club or filling in an application form on this website. |
The Club The club is a private organisation and hires the Dialstone Recreation Centre, as any user could. We are governed by a Constitution and are affiliated to British Gymnastics, the sports governing body. All coaches have been through some form of training to allow them to coach. We have recently achieved Gym Mark, the sign of a child friendly club. We have a child Protection Officer and the bulk of all the adult coaches have been CRB checked. |
Badge Scheme We participate in the British Gymnastics Proficiency Scheme, which used to called BAGA Badges. There are 6 badges which cover general gymnastics and a further 6 more advanced badges which cover floor and vault apparatus. At Christmas we run a competition open to all gymnasts followed by a disco and party. In the Summer we usually take part in one of the local carnivals, either Stockport or Hazel Grove.
