Club Handbook and Policy Documents

Welcome to our Club and the Amazing Sport of Gymnastics.

We love our sport and the teaching of safe technique in a fun and safe environment.

Here you can find our supporting documents including our;

Our Values

Gymnastics as a sport offers amazing benefits beyond the physical aspects and our values support the personal growth and development aspects of our sport.

We don’t just teach gymnastics and fundamental movement, we teach life skills!

Fast and Slow Twitch Muscle Fiber Types

The concepts of physiology are well developed in gymnastics training. I recently came across this article that explains the concept of fast and slow twitch muscle fibres from verywellfit.com which aligns well with the latest approaches on some of the concepts for competitive strength (or even better – Power) training.

While there is much more to it in terms of power vs strength this article outlines some of the target muscle fibres that our programs (in the higher levels) are designed to target once fundamental levels of strength are achieved.
