Team Gym

Junior Team

TeamGym

TeamGym is one of Basingstoke Gymnastics Club’s most successful areas.  The club is a force to be reckoned with in the TeamGym world and has been winning British titles since 2000 and competing internationally since 2002.

What is TeamGym?
As the name suggests, TeamGym is a team discipline for either women’s, men’s or mixed teams.  Teams can have a minimum of 6 gymnasts and up to a maximum of 12 gymnasts.  Each team competes on three gymnastic apparatus:

  1. Floor  (choreographed team routine)
  2. Trampette / Trampette Vault
  3. Tumbling

ll three require effective team work, excellent technique in the elements and spectacular acrobatic elements. TeamGym competitions generate an excellent spirit and atmosphere and are attractive and exciting for spectators.  

TeamGym is ideal for enthusiastic gymnasts who are looking to take their gymnastics further and compete within the camaraderie of a team.

Squads
We currently have over 40 gymnasts in the TeamGym squads.  There are gymnasts training at Primary level (8-12 years), Junior level (12-16 years) and Senior level (16 years plus)

The senior and junior team trains 10.5 hours a week and are coached by Head of TeamGym Janet Allabush, Claire Williams and Ray Wilson. 

The primary team is split into two groups, one of which trains 10 hours a week and the other 7 a week.  Sarah White and David Cahill coach the primary gymnasts.

Competitions
The European TeamGym Championships are the pinnacle of any TeamGym gymnast’s career as it is the highest level of international competition.  The competition takes place every other year and Basingstoke senior mixed team have reached the finals of the competition 3 times.  In fact in 2006 the team narrowly missed out on a medal, finishing in 4th place, which was the best-ever finish by any British team.

Last year, the Junior Mixed team had one of the most successful years ever for the club by winning gold medals at the Southern Region, British and Bracknell International Championships.
