Short profile:
The club coaches boys and girls Pre-School Gymnastics and General Gymnastics for recreational level gymnasts, these gymnasts represent seventy five percent of the members. Women's and Men's Artistic Gymnastics is also coached at various competitive levels. For many years Gyrus operated adult classes in Teamgym Gymnastics, winning British Championship and successfully qualifying for 2 successive European Championships in 1996 and 1998. We have nine qualified coaches and six trainee coaches, all of whom give their time voluntarily, probably one of the very few clubs to still operate on a completely voluntary basis.
