Updated 21/8/24

Over 600 gymnasts currently attend weekly classes at SALTO GYMNASTICS – making it one of the biggest, if not the biggest, sports club in East Cork. Our aim is to coach our members towards their full potential in a safe, fun & progressive gymnastics environment. SALTO GYMNASTICS was selected as the “Participation Club of the Year 2023” by GYMNASTICS IRELAND.

RECREATIONAL CLASSES

The vast majority of our gymnasts are in primary school and they attend a one-hour class each week. We aim to provide fun and creative classes that improve the gymnasts’ coordination, strength, flexibility, fitness, and gymnastics & trampolining skills.

The recreational gymnasts have opportunities to compete in club events and participate in the Gymnastics Ireland GymStart Award Scheme. We also offer our recreational gymnasts the opportunity to compete at Gymnastics Ireland Events such as GymStart, JumpStart and The Floor.

Our classes for teenagers are a great opportunity to get exercise and learn new skills while socialising at the same time.

COMPETITIVE TRAMPOLINING  

Salto Gymnastics is one of the leading trampoline gymnastics clubs in the country.  Our competitive gymnasts take part in the Gymnastics Ireland national event series. We have had many National Champions over the years. Five of our gymnasts have been selected for the National Squad (Club Development Squad) for 2024.

We aim to create peer groups based on age and ability and to develop a friendly, supportive environment with the potential for great friendships to form through shared experiences. Gymnasts are selected by the coaches to take part in this programme. About 30 gymnasts are currently involved.

GYMABLE & SPECIAL OLYMPICS CLASSES

Our inclusion classes are for children with physical and/or intellectual disabilities. We have been running these classes since 2019 when we were selected to do so by Gymnastics Ireland.

Gymnastics can be adapted to be inclusive for everyone regardless of ability. The aim of these classes is to encourage children to improve their balance, coordination and movement and to learn new skills in a fun and relaxed environment. The classes also offer a social experience for children and their parents. 

Our summer camps run on the following dates:
