The children will have the opportunity to improve their current skills and to learn new skills. The coaches are planning lots of great activities for the gymnasts so it should be a fun filled week.

Please keep in mind that the camp environment will be very busy and may not suit all children. The camps won’t be suitable for children who require one-to-one attention. Our priority will be the safety of all of the children. If a child cannot behave in an appropriate manner on day 1, they will not be permitted to continue the camp for the rest of the week.

Bookings can be made through our website: https://saltocork.ie/summer-camps-enrolment/

When a camp is fully booked, it will disappear from the drop-down list.

Salto Gymnastics & Trampolining – Competitive Trampolining Programme

Our competitive trampolining programme is designed for talented gymnasts who are willing to dedicate time and effort to a higher level of training.  Gymnasts are selected by coaches to enter this level. 

When people think of trampolining, the first thing to come to mind for many is probably the garden trampoline.  However, competitive trampolining is a highly technical sport competed right up to Olympic level. Trampolining is probably one of the most exhilarating sports there is!  The gymnasts first learn how to perform simple skills and maintain their rhythm. Then, as their skills and confidence grow, they build up to some incredible moves.  

Salto Cork is one of the leading trampoline gymnastics clubs in the country.  Our competitive gymnasts take part in the Gymnastics Ireland national event series (individually, in pairs and in teams). We have had many National Champions over the years. Four of our gymnasts are current members of the Gymnastics Ireland National Squad (Club Development Squad). 

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.

We hope to stick to this schedule as closely as possible. 

Please do not come before your allocated time as gymnasts will not be allowed into the hall any earlier. We will need one group to exit before the next group comes in. If it raining, please wait in your car, there is no need to queue at the door. 

All competitors will receive a participation medal. There will be trophies for 1st, 2nd & 3rd. 

Competition Attire

• Girls: Leotard (and shorts/leggings if the gymnast wishes to wear them) OR plain shorts/leggings and fitted t-shirt. 
• Boys: Leotard and shorts OR plain shorts & fitted t-shirt.
• There is very little club kit available to buy, please check our online shop if you’re looking to buy something: Shop – Salto Gymnastics & Trampolining (saltocork.ie)
• Gym shoes are permitted. Otherwise gymnasts should be in bare feet. 
• No jewellery, hair tied up neatly and securely.

Family and friends are welcome to come along to watch their gymnast perform. 

Looking forward to an enjoyable day!

Update 9:17am 02.08.23 THE BOOKING SYSTEM DOESN’T SEEM TO BE WORKING CORRECTLY, I’M SORRY, I’M TRYING TO RESOLVE IT.

Bookings can be made via this link:

All of our other classes are currently fully booked.

Each class will have to be made “live” individually. I will start doing this at 9am on Wednesday 2nd August 2023. Classes will disappear from the list when they become fully booked.

Unfortunately, not everyone hoping to book their child in will be successful and I’m sorry about that. 600 children and teenagers attend our classes each week. We’re not in a position to expand any further at the moment.

Please don’t try to contact us by phone or social media as we won’t be able to deal with queries this way. We will respond to queries by email to info@saltocork.ie (this might take some time though as it is likely to be very busy).

Regards,

Mary Morrissey

We will have spaces for some new members to join our classes in September. Details will be advertised on our website on Wednesday 2nd August 2023.

At the end of another great year, I would like to say a huge thank you to the coaching team and the junior leaders for all they have done for our gymnasts. Along with teaching skills, they encourage and support our gymnasts, prepare them for events and have lots of fun along the way.
