About Us

Mission Statement 

Our mission is to continue to provide Cambridge and the Waipa community with a safe, inclusive and supportive environment where individuals of all ages and abilities can develop their physical, mental, and social skills through the sport of gymnastics. We are committed to promoting health, wellness, and personal growth, while fostering a sense of community and belonging among our members. As a non-profit organisation run by a committee of passionate volunteers, we strive to make gymnastics accessible to everyone regardless of their financial or socio-economic background, and to empower our members to achieve their full potential both in and outside of the gym.
 

History & Background

Cambridge Gymnastics Club has been in operation since 1979. In term 4 2018, we moved into a new venue at 187 Shakespeare Street, Leamington, Cambridge (between BP and  Community House). After this successful move in 2020 we increased our occupancy to double our floor area.

In recent years our club has grown its numbers significantly. We currently have 214 members as of Term 2 2024, along with coaches and volunteers. 

We have a dedicated management committee that consists of 6 members.  We are always on the lookout for more people to join the committee - please get in touch if you would like to join us by sending an email to president@cambridgegymnasticsnz.co.nz 

Volunteers and Coaches

Cambridge Gymnastic Club has grown thanks to a strong group of volunteers behind it and we are always on the lookout for volunteer helpers and coaches. 

The Clubs' present and future is in your hands – the club is here to serve its members of which you become one once enrolled. Please consider whether it is time for you to step up to ensure it has a bright future for next generations.

Club Rules

• At each session ALL CHILDREN MUST be dropped off and picked up on time from 
INSIDE the hall by an ADULT. NO EXCEPTIONS. 
• Body HYGIENE (especially feet) are to be clean and all wounds covered before the 
child comes to the gym. Failure to do so may mean that the child concerned will not 
participate in the session. 
• NO FOOD is to be eaten in the gymnasium (except for medical reasons). Children must bring their own water bottles

FOR SAFETY: 
- Long hair MUST be tied back; 
- No jewellery is to be worn except for stud earrings; 
- Children need to wear correct uniform (see Club Uniform). 
- Spectators, young and old, are NOT ALLOWED ON THE EQUIPMENT AT ANY 
TIME. Children waiting for a sibling must wait away from the gym floor area. Children coming 
in for the next class must wait in the spectator area until a coach calls them to the floor.

• If a child is absent for three weeks without prior notification, it will be deemed that the child no longer wishes to participate in the club and their position will be filled. 
• Coaches will not retain any lost property, and the club and coaches will NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY for lost or stolen items.

Behaviour Policy

If a child is obstructive or endangers him/herself or others, we reserve the right to remove that child from the session in progress and to have them sit on the side. 
The club reserves the right to refuse a child further membership in the event of disruptive behaviour.
