Club training will be on Wednesday mornings from 9-11 and Thursday evenings from 7.30-9.30 If you are a gymnast who is interested in competing at BUCS, we will have training trips to Tolworth purpose built Gymnastics Club where the have a pit, bars, sprung floor, etc.
A typical session at the St. Mary’s Gym:
We all warm up together participating in a conditioning circuit, followed by stretching (to improve both strength and flexibility). After strectching, you can then move on to you desired activity whether it be Trampolining or Gymnastics…or both.
After stretching, gymasts will typically start off doing the basics (from walking- forward rolls, handstands-cartwheels). After practicing the basics, you can get assistance and work on whatever your personal goals are (whether you’d like to learn how to do a bridge, a somersault or if you’d like to improve your footy celebrations!).
After the group streching, trampolinists will also start off with a basic warm up comprising of simple bounces such as- straight jumps, straddle, pike etc. Then we move onto developing individual skills depending on the different abilities and the individuals goals. (so whether you want to learn how to do swivle hips or more advanced rotations).
Trampolinists should be aware that the basketball gym is under construction until the end of October. When construction is finished…the trampolinies will be moved in thereas there is no height restriction. For now, the trampolines will be in the green gym along with the gymnasts.
We are looking to send teams/individuals to BUCS for both Gymnastics & Trampoiling so make sure to come along to Training.
The first club Social wil be on 13th of October which is the Wednesday following the first Training session! So it will give us a chance to have a few drinks and drinking games to introduce everybody! It will be a great chance to get to know more people at uni so make sure to save the date!
