Welcome to Northern Hope Gymnastics Club
Why gymnastics?
Gymnastics provides social interaction, listening, following directions, and problem solving. Mental aspects include the development of self-confidence, self-esteem, concentration, and discipline. Physical aspects include balance, coordination, body awareness, rhythm, muscle tone, agility, hand-eye coordination, power, posture, limb control and air awareness.
Why Northern Hope?
Northern Hope Centre Limited is a community-based volunteer run not-for-profit organisation and registered charity, which provides quality gymnastics training for all ages and ability levels in a fun and safe environment. We also believe that the wider aspects of child development are also important. It is hoped that those children who become members of Northern Hope gymnastics club will develop the basic moral, ethical and social niceties of life such as:
-
Self discipline and commitment to a purpose
-
Respect for self and others – especially older and wiser
-
Sportsmanship and appreciation of the efforts of others
-
Enjoyment of life
Our Objectives
-
To provide a physically and emotionally safe environment for all children to develop in gymnastics.
-
To promote the growth and development of recreational and competitive gymnastics, with quality programs enjoyed by all. Every athlete’s involvement in the sport is important to the club, and even the vast majority will never reach the elite level, the club attempts to allow each athlete to develop to his or her own potential. We wish to ensure that gymnastics is available to the maximum number of the athletes in the area and not those of a high skill level. We wish to encourage those athletes who do display a high level of skill to enlarge upon this talent. We care and are concerned about each athlete’s participation.
-
To endeavour to provide a variety of programs for both boys and girls in Artistic, Sports Acro, Tumbling and Team Gym, providing a level of participation which allows us to maintain and retain qualified coaching in a cost-effective manner.
-
To endeavour to recruit coaches with versatility in certification and experience which will enable us to provide for a variety of programs at Northern Hope Centre.
