allegro school of gymnastics
Dartford
ABOUT US Allegro School of Gymnastics was founded in 2015 after huge demand from
parents that were taught by our Head Coach Sam in local schools. It was felt
that there was a need for a local gymnastics club with one strong rule in mind –
to teach children quality gymnastics skills and technique, with fun and play a
close second. Our main club is now based at Newstead Woods Sports Centre but due
to huge popularity and success, we now have a second, permanent location at
Bromley Football Club. Our previous centres at Ravens Wood and Darrick Wood have
enabled us to grow and expand, and we now provide Squad, Recreational and Pre
school classes six days a week. Newstead and Bromley both house all four
full-sized Olympic pieces including bars and beam and our Pre School unit
provides smaller pieces alongside the full size equipment to help build
confidence in out younger gymnasts. As parents ourselves with over 20 years of
parenting experience and coaches that are ex high level gymnasts, we feel that
we can understand and relate to our gymnasts individual needs as children in a
much more supportive and positive way whilst having the technical knowledge to
ensure that all skills are taught safely and progressively. We understand that
most children are desperate to do a backflip and a somersault, but we teach the
children to understand that the basic skills need to be learnt properly first
and then when they are all put together the children are rewarded with the
skills they have been so eager to perform.
