Dover Gymnastics was established in 1976 and is one of the most successful and longest-running gym clubs in Kent.
The club is fully registered with British Gymnastics and affiliated to BG (SE Region), and Kent Gymnastics Association.
We are run as a charity and believe that gymnastics is an inclusive sport which can be enjoyed by people of all ages and from all backgrounds.
This is reflected in our membership and class fees which are among the lowest around making us even more accessible.
Everyone involved in running the club (coaches, volunteers and committee members) are fully trained, registered members of British Gymnastics, and have up-to-date enhanced Criminal Records Bureau checks. All of our coaches have passed recent British Gymnastics qualifications or are working towards them under the supervision of qualified coaches.
We are now a fully accredited GymMark club which means we have the latest, up-to-date, policies and procedures for matters of child protection, health, safety & welfare and club management. We have a dedicated Welfare Officer and one of only a few clubs that also encourage young members to get involved in decision making with a junior section of the committee.


History of the Club
Dover Gymnastics Club has been operating in a nationally registered deprived area since 1976 where the club opened its doors for the first time at Dover Sports Centre with just two coaches, Ron Hambrook and Malcolm Perkins.
The Club operated from Dover Sports Centre for the next seven years and built up a membership of around 50 gymnasts.
In September 1983 the Club had the opportunity to move to the Salvation Army building in The High Street of Dover, which meant being centrally located in the town and for the first time the space to be able to leave all the equipment set up on a permanent basis, which not many clubs in Kent were able to do at that time.
