The Academy of Gym (TAG) was established in 2009 to provide gymnastics classes to the community of Chichester and its’ surrounding areas. The club promotes and facilitates recreational and competitive gymnastics classes from toddlers to teenagers and young adults. Membership is open to all without discrimination, we currently have 150 members and a fantastic team of coaches and volunteers.
TAG is a not-for-profit limited company. Our management team comprises of 4 directors and a committee of coaches, volunteers, parents and older gymnasts who make the decisions about the running of the club. The club is a community club and therefore all equipment and assets belong to the club, and ultimately the community rather than to an individual.
TAG have recently moved into new permanent premises, finally after after a 10years of renting school halls and leisure centres.
TAG are affiliated to British Gymnastics, South-East Gymnastics and Sussex Gymnastics. We've had much success within the county and South-East region and 6 of our squad gymnasts representing the SE region in national finals. Considering the makeshift conditions that we have had to train in, this is a big achievement.
We have opened our doors on Monday 4th November and having been busy fundraising to aquire all the necessities needed to make our gym the best it can be. This matting is essential and without funding would not be possible to aquire for quite a substantial time.
