COMMUNITY

We are proud to work with several local schools on a weekly basis, extending our reach to individuals who may not have the chance to attend our club's regular classes. Our comprehensive support for these schools includes: 

• Lunchtime and After-School Classes: We offer weekly gymnastics classes during lunchtime and after school times, ensuring that students have convenient access to this exciting sport within their school premises. 

• Teacher Training Sessions: We actively contribute to the professional development of educators by conducting training sessions, equipping them with the knowledge and skills required to introduce gymnastics effectively in their curriculum. 

• School Trips: We organise and host school trips to our specialised facility, providing students with a firsthand experience of gymnastics in a safe and structured environment. 

• Displays: We showcase gymnastics through captivating displays and performances, offering students an opportunity to witness the artistry and athleticism of the sport up close. 

Our commitment to local schools highlights our dedication to making gymnastics accessible and enjoyable for a broad range of participants, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to experience the numerous benefits of this dynamic and engaging sport. 

Within our community, we extend a helping hand by providing complimentary sessions to underrepresented groups. Our facility is open for rental by local groups, and we actively engage with, and offer support to a diverse array of local organisations. 

At Woking Gymnastics Club, we are fully dedicated to promoting inclusive participation for individuals with disabilities and those with additional needs. To achieve this, we have implemented various initiatives: 

• School Partnerships: We offer weekly sessions to two local schools, providing them with complete access to our specialised facility. This commitment ensures that these students can enjoy and benefit from gymnastics. 

• Partnership with White Lodge Centre: Our collaboration with the White Lodge Centre remains an ongoing commitment, with weekly interactions to support individuals with physical disabilities. 

• After-School Classes: We now host two after-school classes tailored specifically for children with additional needs. These classes, designed for children aged 5-17 years, are led by our team of fully qualified and experienced coaches. 

• Engagement with Local Disability Groups: We actively connect with local disability groups by organising taster days and specialised sessions during school breaks. This outreach enables us to create opportunities for individuals of all abilities to engage with gymnastics. 

• Support for Disability Events: We wholeheartedly support local disability events, including our coaches' enthusiastic participation in the Woking Disability Sports Day. This event provided many children with their first experience of gymnastics, showcasing our commitment to inclusivity in our sport. 

At Woking Gymnastics Club, we strive to make gymnastics an accessible and enjoyable activity for everyone in our community.
