Sandbach Gymnastics

Club History    
 

Charlotte Holdcroft 1991

  
Formally a bakery, the building was converted for gymnastics during June 1991. The centre now offers gymnastics from beginner to international standard, for girls and boys aged 4-16 years. The general gymnastics programme is led by Tracy Cooper, who co-ordinates classes on weekday evenings and Saturday mornings. The comprehensive training and coaching facilities at the centre enabled the club to achieve a high level of training and competition performance. The club has been represented at international level in Belgium, Sweden, Holland, USA, Australia, Hungary, Romania and Italy.

Charlotte Holdcroft represented Sandbach Gymnastics in Belgium back in 1991. Charlotte demonstrated a clean style with her gymnastics helping Sandbach and GB to win team awards. Charlotte was closely followed by Rebecca Mason who joined the National Squad at the age of 8 years. Rebecca was a significant contributor to the Great Britain team at both junior and senior levels. In her early years she won every national age group title, and espoir and junior events. Rebecca competed at the World Championships in Anaheim, USA in 2003. She was the highest scoring GB team member, securing a team placement at the Athens Olympic Games.

In May 2006 Sandbach Gymnastics relocated to larger premises in Sandbach. The new location will provide Sandbach Gymnastics with far greater space for gymnastics and thereby increase our potential. Its is hoped that we will be able to provide many more gymnastics related activities.    
     
  We have been at the new gym for just over a year now. The depth of gymnastics we can now achieve has risen dramatically. In 2007 we competed approximately 100 gymnasts in categories from recreational to National.
