Competitions
We hold our Valdez club championships once a year. Gymnasts compete on Vault, beam and floor. Trophies are awarded to the top scorers and everyone gets a medal for competing!
The championships are a great experience and we encourage all our gymnasts to take part but it’s not compulsory.
Training for the championships begins 6 weeks before the competition within gymnasts regular classes.
All regular classes will be running as usual over the weekend of the club championships. We email parents all the details beforehand.

Gym Camps
Valdez gym camps are great fun for members and non-members of Valdez. It’s a great way to learn new skills, practice recently learnt ones and have fun! Camps are for children in Reception and above. We run full day camps on Tuesdays Wednesdays from 10am-3pm through the school holidays.
Gymnasts practice skills on vault, bars, trampette, beam and floor, along with lots of gymnastics inspired games. We also award a trophy for the Gymnast of the day. Fees are £35.00 per gymnast per camp, which is required upon booking to secure your place. Children are welcome to bring a snack/lunch for break time and don’t forget a labelled water bottle!
