SIMMSplitz is our British Gymnastics-affiliated recreational club for children of all abilities aged 5 to 12 years.

Sessions are held in our fully equipped gymnasium, with equipment allowing children to experience sessions using bars, beams and vaults alongside floor work. This provides gymnasts with a fantastic introduction to gymnastics, allowing them to develop a range of skills. 

Gymnasts are consistently working towards the British Gymnastics Association’s proficiency awards. The badges start at level 8 and progress through to level 1. 

We also offer a termly invite to a select group of gymnasts who have displayed an outstanding attitude and ability within the general recreation sessions to attend our Advanced Recreation class that practices twice a week.

Club spaces and fees 

Many of our sessions are very popular, and we operate a waiting list for those children looking to join the club. Positions are offered to gymnasts in the order that they join the waiting list. 

Fees are paid termly and sessions are priced at £14.75 per hour. Terms typically last 9 to 12 weeks, and participants may join during the term, subject to availability. 

Our price includes the cost of all British Gymnastics Rise Gymnastics certificates and medals.
