Welcome to OVGA
At Ouse Valley Gymnastics Academy, our mission is simple: to help children and young people develop confidence, strength, resilience and a lifelong love of movement.
We provide high-quality coaching in a safe, supportive and positive environment where every child is valued as an individual. Whether your child is taking their first steps into gymnastics or looking to develop advanced skills, our sessions are designed to help them progress at their own pace while enjoying the journey.
Our coaching philosophy focuses on developing strong foundations, excellent movement skills and confident athletes. We believe gymnastics should be challenging, rewarding and, above all, enjoyable.
Gymnastics
Our sessions help develop balance, coordination, strength, flexibility and confidence through structured programmes suitable for all backgrounds and abilities.
Children will learn fundamental gymnastics skills on a variety of apparatus while developing body awareness, discipline and self-belief.
Whether your child wants to participate recreationally or progress towards more advanced skills, our experienced coaches will help them reach their potential.
Gymnastics
Traditional Gymnastics sessions, working on British Gymnastics pathways in General Gymnastics, Men's Artistic and Women's Artistic.
These sessions follow a programme where gymnasts will work on their apparatud based skills, strength, technical ability, mobility and flexibility.
These will also be competitve pathways where gymnasts can take part in local, regional and national level competitions.
Athlete Development
Our Athlete Development and Strength and Conditioning Sessions are designed to compliment your childs chosen sport and not conflict with it. We build a bespoke programme based on your child and work with you to build the strength, mobility and confidence required to excel in their chosen sport.
