About Glossop Gymnastics Club
As Head Coach and owner of Glossop Gymnastics Club I look forward to welcoming you into our friendly community club.
I have been Head Coach of Glossop Gymnastics Club for 29 years at Glossop leisure centre and started out with just 3hours a week.
The club has gone from strength to strength over the years and in 2019 I decided to set up a dedicated gymnastics facility offering more classes and better gymnastics opportunities within the local community. The club was officially opened by Maria McLoughlin, former Olympic, World and European gymnast and my former coach. What an honour for the club!
As a gymnast myself, I was a member of Tameside Olympic Gymnastics Club which was based in Stalybridge. I was a member of the British National Squad at both Junior and Senior levels and regularly competed both Nationally and Internationally. As a club we were British Team Champions for 5 consecutive years and the best club in the country for many years.
I was, and still am, very proud to have been a member of this club and grateful to the fantastic coaches I had and the opportunities I had to travel and compete abroad.
It was my aim when I finished training and competing to set up a club in Glossop to feed my knowledge and experience back into my local community. Gymnastics is a fantastic, fun and disciplined sport and I want to be able to offer as many people as possible the opportunity to become involved and get the same enjoyment from it that I have always had.
Glossop Gymnastics Club offers Gym Fun (for babies and toddlers), Fundamentals (for 3&4years olds), Beginners (for school age children), Intermediates, Mini Elite and Elite sessions and soon an Adult session! We have a leadership academy to enable our older gymnasts (aged 11-17) to develop their skills and gain qualifications within the sport.
Please see our timetable for session times.
We also offer our facilities to local primary schools and host British Gymnastics Keysteps Competitions for schools twice a year.
Our Elite squad compete regularly at County and Club levels along with the Intermediate and Mini Elite squads.
We hold our own Annual Competition and BBQ/ Fun afternoon in July which has become a well supported tradition within our club.
I have been a qualified coach since I finished competing and was a National Judge many years ago.
I have a fantastic team of fully qualified and experienced coaches who enable me to run such a great club. They are all British Gymnastics Approved, DBS checked and have Safeguarding qualifications in place. I am extremely grateful to them all for their help in making my dream of owning my own gym club become a reality.
I hope you enjoy your time as a member of our club. Please contact me by email or phone, using the details at the top of the page if you wish to enquire about joining the club!
Best wishes,
Ann Tracey
