  • 4-Piece Elite Squad

    This section started in 2022. We have selected our most promising gymnasts to train 22 hours per week. They are training on advanced skills and are working towards competing in the Scottish Championships.

  • 4-Piece Competitive Squad

    The 4-Piece Competitive Squad is the advanced section of the Club. These girls compete on all 4 pieces (Vault, Bars, Beam and Floor).  Gymnasts train for between 12 and 18 hours per week.

    The Development group is for gymnasts between 6 and 8 years who have shown potential to progress to the main Competitive Group. They train on all 4 pieces. Development gymnasts train for 7 hours per week.

  • Club Development

    The Club Development group is for gymnasts between 5 and 7 years of age who have shown potential to progress to the 4-Piece or Floor and Vault Competitive Group. They train on all 4 pieces and train for 4.5 hours per week.

  • Floor and Vault Squad

    The Floor and Vault Squad is a competitive squad for gymnasts who will compete on a regular basis for the Club on 2 pieces – Floor and Vault.  This is a mixed group including both girls and boys. They train 4.5 hours per week.

  • Intermediate Recreational

    Gymnasts who are advancing quickly in recreational classes will be invited to join the Intermediate Recreational group to advance their skills. This is part of our pathway into one of our competitive squads. They train 1.5 hours each week.

  • Reccy4All

    Our Reccy4All Group is open to all children regardless of experience. These groups give a basic introduction and progression across the 4 gymnastics elements. We have an awards scheme that they work towards throughout the year and are given the opportunity to compete at in-house competitions.

  • Limitless

    Limitless is a dance and fitness programme run by the Club for former gymnasts who wish to maintain their floor skills and also develop dance routines. Combining gymnastics skills with choreography, Limitless gives the opportunity for ex-gymnasts to maintain and develop their gymnastics floor skills and tumbling whilst putting together formal routines to showcase at club and community events.

  • Advanced Pre-School

    Our Advanced Pre-School  is a new class for those in pre-school classes aged 3+ who are showing the ability to advance their skills on all 4 pieces. This will include a more structured training session and progress to more challenging skills.

  • Pre-school

    Our Pre-School classes are fun gymnastics sessions for the under 5s designed to promote spatial awareness and balance whilst beginning to develop the basics of gymnastics movement.

  • Fun4Baby

    Fun4Baby sessions aim to provide a framework for baby’s natural physical and psychological development up to 14 months old. Fun4Baby sessions are for parents and babies who have completed their 6-8-week paediatric assessment.

  • Men's Artistic Gymnastics

    We started a new MAG section in 2022, where we have Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced sections training weekly. We hope 2023 will see more development within this section and Reccy4All throughout the year.

What parents say about Dumfries Y Gymnastics Club 
 Great fun
“I took my 8 month old to the baby taster session yesterday and we both had great fun!” 
Jill Neale

Loved it
“I took my 7 month old girl to a free taster session in Annan just before the summer holidays and we both absolutely loved it. It was so relaxed, but at the same time with excellent structure.” 
Jen Graham

Highly recommend this
"I took my daughter aged 3 to the Dumfries taster session. She is always asking to go to gymnastics and she tries different things at home herself, she is desperate to learn. She really enjoyed the session. Highly recommend this.” 
Itziar Goiriena

Gentle encouragment
“It was my daughter’s first day today trying gymnastics and was shy to start, but with some gentle encouragement from the coaches, she was soon joining in and loving it!” 
Debbie Kirkpatrick
