ABOUT THE CLUB

Elite Gymsports Academy opened in April 2005 in the St George area. In the past 5 years, the club has achieved some fantastic results in Regional, State & National competitions.

At Elite, we offer quality programs for children 2 years up to adults, for beginners up to advanced classes.

Our focal Gymsports are Artistic Gymnastics & Trampolining & Tumbling.

We have two streams of Advanced Gymnastics, which cater for both Recreational Advanced gymnasts (State Stream) and National/International Development Programs. We have had success in all three types of competiton, having State Champions in State Stream, National Levels and gymnasts placing in the top 6 in the International Development Programs.

The club currently has gymnasts from Level 1 to Level 10 (the highest level) in our National Levels Programs. As the club is growing, we are increasing our team numbers in each level.

Our Trampolining & Tumbling Program has been very successful with many boys and girls competing at State Levels Championships and placing int he top 3, including numerous State Champions over the last few year.

Our philosophy at Elite is "Everyone can succeed." We offer recreational classes from beginner to advanced as well as more committed styles of learning to suit the needs and abilities of each individual child. At Elite, we wish for all children to succeed whether it be simply learning new skills, progressing to a higher class, or competing at State or National competitions.
