Gymnastics Club

Local Gymnastics Club Success!

North Cotswolds Gymnastics & Trampolining Academy (NCGTA), based on Bourton Industrial Park, has already seen some great success this year at recent, regional gymnastics competitions.

Sunday 12th February saw the return of the Winter Magic Gymnastics Event, in Wiltshire, where NCGTA entered some of their younger gymnasts. It was a great day and NCGTA dominated, taking 80 medals in total, with 62 placing in the top 3. With special mention to gymnasts Amelia, Georgia, Tara, and Claire, who took the most titles for their levels. Tara and Georgia, also were the top 2 highest scorers of the day.

At the beginning of March NCGTA competed at the Quatrovision Cup, Wiltshire. They achieved 3 golds, 10 silvers and 11 bronze awards. With special mention to Georgia, who placed 3rd overall.

March also saw 5 of their Squad gymnasts complete their regional grading. Hope passed with flying colours. Alice, Freya, and Sophie received highly commended at their first grading, and Ayla received a distinction, and finished 2nd in her entire grade.

NCGTA is based out of Cotswold Clubhouse, offering gymnastics classes for preschoolers, up to adults. Due to the growth, and successes of this gymnastics club, there is exciting news to come. July will bring the expansion of the gymnasium, doubling it in size, introducing more equipment, allowing bigger holiday camps, more options for fun play, and a lot more scope for new gymnasts to join.
