Cambridge Gymnastics Academy CIC is a non-profit organisation, which was founded
in May 2012. The company Director Kayleigh Plaza, had a vision to provide
affordable gymnastics for all, no matter age, gender, income or
ability/disability. The club has since evolved and with an incredibly dedicated
staff team, together fundraised, saved and received grants from both the Council
and Sport England totalling £250,000. In May 2016, CGA opened its doors to a
dedicated facility at North Cambridge Academy. CGA prides itself on being a hub
for the community. Sessions are available from 6 week old babies to adult, from
recreational to elite, with the lowest priced classes in the area and we even
offer a 10% discount for people on means tested benefits. After our pre-school
classes, we offer free refreshments so families can build relationships with
others. We offer classes for minority groups such as women’s only, over 50’s and
specially designed disability sessions. We are an inclusive club, so in the
evenings children with disabilities join in with our normal recreational
sessions. We deliver curriculum support to the NCA students and run a youth
night on a Friday evening to provide local young people with a safe environment.
In 2017 our success & hard work was recognised by British Gymnastics and we were
selected as 1 of 3 clubs in the whole of the UK to be shortlisted for the award
‘British Gymnastics Club of the Year’. Following this success CGA were also
awarded the 2017 winners of the ‘Living Sports Community Club of the Year’
fighting off strong competition from sports clubs across Cambridgeshire. Both
huge achievements for the club. The club is a registered member of both British
Gymnastics and Eastern Counties Gymnastics Association and has a number of fully
qualified coaches & judges up to National Level who are DBS checked, safeguard &
first aid qualified.
