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.
