THE STORY OF BARNSLEY COMMUNITY GYMNASTICS ACADEMY

From Passion to Profession

Barnsley Community Gymnastics Academy was started for the benefit of Barnsley and its people. The aim is to promote exercise with a focus on gymnastics that spans all the stages of life, and ability with inclusivity at its heart. To do this the charity aims to provide the best accessible facility it can, with state of the art equipment and excellent coaching.

With a focus on mentoring and training young people as club helpers, coaches, judges and in events organisation, it seeks to raise aspiration among its young participants providing volunteering and employment opportunities that will help maintain physical and mental health.
