Description:
The Benfield Centre of Sporting Excellence is home to The City of Newcastle Gymnastics Academy, which was opened in 2001 by former Russian Olympic Gymnasts Svetlana Khorkina and Alexei Nemoz. Our purpose-built gymnastic facility is one of the biggest and best-equipped training and competition venues in Europe, hosting regional, national and international events. Our aim is to provide a safe and challenging environment for gymnasts at all levels.
Heading our team is Chief Executive Karen Chapman, a High Performance Coach (HPC) and National Judge for British Gymnastics. Karen is supported by a strong and dedicated team of highly qualified and experienced coaches.
We’re open 7 days a week and run a variety of classes to suit all age groups and abilities including Tumble-Teds, Recreational, Elite Artistic Gymnastics (Men’s & Women’s) and Team Gym.
The Academy has produced gymnasts who have qualified for the British National Gymnastics Squads in both Women’s and Men’s Artistic Gymnastics.
At the City of Newcastle Gymnastics Academy we believe exercise is important for the future health and wellbeing of our children. Gymnastics teaches determination, drive, discipline and dedication. But above all - gymnastics is fun…..!!
