Catleaps Gymnastics
Gymnastics in schools
We offer school gymnastics clubs across Barking & Dagenham, Havering and Essex. We have a partnership with the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. The partnership enables us to train up teachers to run afterschool gymnastics clubs. This is done with the guidance of our experienced coaches.
Catleaps Gymnastics grew from the work that we did in Robert Clack School.
The gymnastics squads at the school ran for eleven years. 2012 saw the gymnasts reach the National Finals for the 10th year in succession.
We went on to work with Grafton Primary, a feeder school for Robert Clack.
Teams from the two schools travelled together to competitions, trained together and a great partnership was developed between the two schools. Due to this success, we formed Catleaps Gymnastics Club in 2008.
