A summary
These parent-accompanied gymnastics sessions are a chance for families to support their young people in the exploration of gymnastics equipment, including trampoline, air tracks, bars, beams and landing pits, and offer a fantastic opportunity for fun and fitness in a safe, secure and inclusive environment with qualified coaches on hand to offer support. All staff are safeguarding trained, fully DBS checked, well versed in Makaton and PECs, and have lots of experience, patience, understanding and knowledge. Ours is a temperature controlled gym and we have a seating area available for parents and a disability access toilet. We will be offering free hot drinks for parents and free healthy snacks for young people available to takeout. We have a secure site and some dedicated parking, with other parking options available nearby. We believe every child deserves to experience gymnastics, have fun and meet new friends in an environment where they can be themselves.

About your mentor
Viva Gymnastics Club
Making Gymnastics Accessible for Every Child
Viva Gymnastics Club was set up in 2018 to provide gymnastics sessions to children in the Portsmouth area, including those with a variety of disabilities and additional needs who have often found themselves excluded from the sport of gymnastics In 2020, our Club faced the many challenges of the COVID pandemic and continued to provide gymnastics activities to children via Zoom and, when allowed, via outdoor sessions near Southsea Common. The Club and its members supported each other through this difficult time. ​ Our Club is now a registered charity and has the objective of ensuring that disabilities and additional needs are not a barrier to participation in gymnastics. In addition to its growing SEND programme, the Club provides fun and advanced gymnastics sessions for children of all ages and abilities. ​ Our coaches, support staff and volunteers are passionate, kind, supportive and experienced people with a wealth of experience in gymnastics and in special educational teaching.​ Kindness is at our core.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
