Here at Middlesbrough College’s Gymnastics Academy we have a rather impressive alumni, with previous competitors going on to represent Great Britain.
As a member of our Gymnastics Academy, you can expect regular, specialist training sessions, based on your discipline, designed to fit around the needs of each individual.
The Academy has competed in both regional and national competitions, in a range of disciplines including floor & vault, acrobatics and tumbling. The team have even made it through to the National Milano Team Championships!

What our Academy students say
The facilities are great and the coaches are really supportive. Since joining the Gymnastics Academy I’ve been able to learn new routines and learn more on any areas I want to improve on. We’ve also had the chance to get involved in competitions which has been really exciting.
