About Us
We are a voluntary run organisation providing gymnastics for children aged 18months to late teens at the YMI Gymnasium in Te Awamutu and at Kio Kio School.
We have a variety of sessions that you can choose from. If you have questions, please see our FAQs and sessions pages. If they don't have the answer you're looking for, please contact us at tagymsports@gmail.com or come down to the gym during session times.
We run during the school terms (never on public holidays). Terms 1 - 3 are all focused skill development and achievements. Term 4 is focused on our End of Year show - bringing together all the skills you have learnt and presenting them to parents, family and friends.
Coaches & Commitee
We have a hard working Committee who can always do with more help to spread the load. If you have a passion for H&S, HR, writing policies and procedures, are a media relations expert, can spare an hour a week to clean, are a handy man, could help out once or twice a year to process uniform orders, have IT skills.......... we would love to hear from you.

COACHES
We encourage our parents, friends, ex-gymnasts, childcare professionals, anyone who loves working with children, 'coaches in development' at school/Universtity to join us as coaches. We are always looking for more coaches to help run classes and to be able to offer new classes.
No previous experience is necessary and we can support you with mentoring and training courses to help advance and develop your skills.
