About
Us
Old Bawn Gymnastics Club was established
in 1985 initially as a Women's Artistic Gymnastics Club
(and more recently also as a Men's Artistic Club).
Over time we have built up
very successful
coaching methods, always with an emphasis on our gymnasts' well
being. Through the dedication and hard work of a
number of our coaches the club now has a very solid
structure in place.
Over the years
gymnasts from our Women's Artistic team have achieved success at
All-Ireland Basic, Intermediate and National level.
We currently have 2 gymnasts on the Irish National
Junior Squad and 5 gymnasts on the National "Supersquad"
which is a squad geared towards the very talented 7-10
year olds in the country.
More
recently we have established a Men's Artistic Squad of 8
gymnasts who so far have already achieved success at
All-Ireland Basic Level competition. These
gymnasts have also been selected onto the Dublin
Regional Boys Squad.
We
have an enthusiastic team
of qualified
coaches who are fully committed to the
development of the club. We currently cater for
approximately 200 recreational gymnasts and 50
intermediate/advanced gymnasts.
We
continually aim to improve the club and have a high
standard of equipment including 5 beams, asymmetric bars,
single high bar, Spieth sprung tumbling floor, fast track, 6x12m
carpeted floor area, full vault set up, parallel bars
and various items of equipment designed for training
purposes.
While
we believe in having disciplined, hard-working gymnasts
we also pride ourselves on maintaining very positive and
encouraging coaching methods to ensure all our gymnasts
are happy and most importantly that they enjoy
themselves in the gym.
