Salto Gymnastics & Trampolining Club, Cork offers high quality gymnastics and trampolining classes for girls and boys age 5 and over. Salto Cork was established in 1998 by Mary Morrissey and over the years we have taught in many locations in East Cork. In 2017, we moved into our full-time facility at Units 8 & 9, Ballinacurra Business Park, Midleton, Co Cork.

We wish to make gymnastics and trampolining accessible to as many people as possible.

Our Mission: To coach our members toward their full potential in a safe, fun and progressive gymnastics environment.

Gymnastics is a great foundation activity that can improve strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, body awareness, concentration, discipline, and perseverance.

OUR COACHES

All our coaches have completed their safe-guarding training and are Garda vetted. Many of our coaches are former gymnasts and as such have a wealth of knowledge and experience. Our coaches undertake Gymnastics Ireland coaching qualifications and we also do in-house training.

We encourage the coaches undertake continuing professional development and our junior coaches are mentored closely by senior coaches. Some of our coaches are also qualified as judges.

We also run a Junior Leader Programme which we consider the first stop to becoming a gymnastics coach. Junior Leaders are gymnasts (aged 12 and over) who wish to volunteer within the club to help with the younger gymnasts.

ETHICS & WELFARE

We are affiliated to Gymnastics Ireland, the National Governing Body and are covered by their Public Liability policy. The club adheres to their ‘Code of Ethics & Good Practice for Youth Sport’. This code is based on the Irish Sports Council’s ‘Code of Ethics & Good Practice for Children’s Sport’ and ‘Children First’, the national guidelines for the protection and welfare of children issued by the Department of Health & Children.
