Baskervilles Squad Gymnastics
From our annual Club Competition to National Artistic Competitions, we believe giving children the opportunity to compete teaches them key life skills such as determination, resilience and empathy. Competitive training programmes are specifically designed for each group in order to prepare them for competitions that take place throughout the year. As well as competitions, gymnasts are involved in annual displays and trips.
Our dedicated and experienced Coaches invite gymnasts to join our competitive pathways from our School-Aged gymnastics classes. Baskervilles has a variety of competitive Girls and Boys training pathways:
Intermediate Pathway
The aim is to learn new skills with an emphasis on stretch, style and presentation.
Classes run during term-time and break during the holidays.
Gymnasts are invited to take part in our Club and Autumn Rising Stars Competitions.
Advanced Pathway
The aim is to work towards high level tumbling and vault skills. Gymnasts also practice skills on beam and bars.
Gymnasts are committed to training twice a week during term time and the holidays.
Gymnasts take part in the Spring and Autumn Rising Stars Competitions, showcasing their skills on Floor, Vault, and Trampette, while boys also compete on Bars.
Squad Pathway
Gymnasts in this pathway must show a high level of strength, flexibility and presentation.
Gymnasts are committed to training up to 12 hours per week during term time and the holidays.
Gymnasts take part in up to 7 competitions per year in various venues.
Gymnasts trains and competes across all women's artistic apparatus, including Vault, Bars, Beam, and Floor.
We proudly affiliate our competitive gymnasts with the Independent Gymnastics Association (IGA) “where passion meets purpose in fostering a thriving gymnastics community”. IGA is a dynamic association dedicated to empowering gymnasts of all ages and abilities. They share the belief that gymnastics should be enjoyable above all else.

Squad Testimonials
“My daughter has been attending Baskervilles for 3.5 years now and she continues to thrive in the sport that she loves. Baskervilles were very welcoming, the friendly and supportive culture they have made her feel immediately comfortable which has allowed her to flourish. She started off with a virtual taster session during lockdown and when she was able to attend in person quickly progressed onto the Advanced pathway before being selected for the Squad Pathway where she now trains and competes in the Mini Squad. During this time she has competed in various county competitions individually and as part of the team, achieving podium positions against other Gyms on Floor and Beam, as well as achieving overall first position two years in a row for the competitive Rising Stars Competition for her age group. The coaches are super supportive and give regular feedback on how she can work to improve her gymnastics. Baskervilles are friendly but competitive, fun but hard working. Their competitive results speak for the standards they expect of their gymnasts (p.s. it’s high!). I’m so glad my daughter has the chance to progress through Baskervilles development pathways and I look forward to seeing her excel in the sport she loves.”

“When our daughter asked to try gymnastics at age 4 we didn't think she would still be doing the sport she loves 7 years later! She began in the pre-school classes and has progressed from their Fast Track classes through to the squad pathway at Baskervilles and is now in the Junior Girls squad. She loves the opportunities she gets to compete at competitions and show off those skills she works so hard to achieve in the gym and take home those all important medals!
Because of the amount of time she spends at gymnastics it is important to us that the gym is a safe and supportive environment and we have found this to certainly be the case with Baskervilles. Her coaches and her peers within her squad get on very well and the coaches are very approachable should the need to discuss anything arise.”

"Our son joined the Baskervilles boys squad last year. Right from the start he was given a warm welcome by the other boys and coaches. The coaches are full of enthusiasm and inspire the gymnasts. This was evident in the way they too took park in the outstanding Christmas displays. Nothing is too much trouble, the whole team are very accommodating. The gym is very well equipped with apparatus and coaches. Baskervilles is an amazing place!"
