Catleaps Gymnastics
club awards
Recognition is very important to us – both rewarding gymnastics through our Gymnastics Award Scheme, but also reward within sessions.
The coaches reward gymnasts for their achievements in training. This could be with stickers, recognition or certificates.
Concentration, regular attendance, motivation, kindness, and helpfulness are all traits that we reward as well as new gymnastics skills learnt or perfected.
We pride ourselves that Catleaps Gymnastics equips children with skills for life.
At Catleaps Gymnastics we recognise that every gymnast deserves the opportunity to participate in an appropriate competitive situation.
We offer our club competition for all gymnasts which is a fun and friendly introduction to competition set within a supportive environment for all ages and abilities.
Performance
Competitions
The emphasis within competitions for our club is on gymnasts reaching their potential, whatever that may be.
Our coaches carefully ensure that gymnasts are performing appropriate moves at the correct level so that they can all experience success on a personal level – whether that be trying a new move in competition for the first time or winning a trophy, medal or ribbon.
We host an invitational competition, inviting other clubs to enter their gymnasts.
This gives the gymnasts the opportunity to perform in front of a large crowd and experience a great atmosphere in the competition arena.

Engagement & Opportunities
Gymnastics Award Scheme
Despite our growth Catleaps Gymnastics has remained a family. We are so proud of the commitment of children within the club. We are inclusive and welcome all children. Some of our members have been through hardship in their lives; foster children, refugees, extreme family difficulties including prison spells or bereavement.
We pride ourselves on offering a safe space where all children are valued and can thrive. We don’t just teach gymnastics skills, we look at the development of the whole child.
Gymnastics is traditionally seen as a sport for girls; however we have always had a healthy number of boys in the club, that is higher than the national average – with our wide range of opportunities, our members also tend to stay in the sport until they are well into their teens, which also bucks the national trend.
We offer fun, engaging lessons, a progressive competition programme, festivals, displays, workshops, masterclasses, leadership and volunteering opportunities.
