Elizabeth Gymnastics Club

Elizabeth Gymnastics Club has a proud history dating back to 1961, when it was first established at St. Peter’s College. Not long after, the club moved to the YMCA hall, continuing to grow and support young athletes in the Elizabeth area.

In 1977, we expanded our programs to include girls’ gymnastics and began operating out of the newly opened Elizabeth Recreation Centre. The mid-1990s brought a significant transformation, with a new team of coaches and administrators introducing fresh ideas and energy to the club.

In 1996, we found our permanent home at the Fremont Regional Gymnastics Centre. This move marked a new chapter—complete with updated facilities, a modern program structure, and a renewed focus on athlete development and community engagement.

For over five decades, we’ve been dedicated to supporting children and young athletes through Recreational and Competitive Gymnastics, Cheerleading, and Dance. Today, Elizabeth Gymnastics Club is proud to welcome more than 150 families from across Adelaide’s northern suburbs into our vibrant and inclusive community.

In recent years, our athletes have continued to excel — for the past five years, we’ve had representatives in both the Men’s and Women’s South Australian State Teams, showcasing the strength of our training and dedication.

Our club thrives thanks to a passionate group of volunteers — including coaches, committee members, and parent helpers — many of whom contribute over 30 hours a week both on the floor and behind the scenes. All revenue is reinvested into the club through facility maintenance, equipment upgrades, and ongoing improvements.

In recognition of our commitment and excellence, we were named “Medium Club of the Year” in 2024 by the State Gymnastics Association, chosen from over 120 clubs statewide.

Elizabeth Gymnastics Club is an incorporated association and proudly affiliated with the Gymnastics and Kindergym Association of South Australia, the Australian Gymnastics Federation, and the Federation of International Gymnastics.

Our Commitment at Elizabeth Gymnastics Club

At Elizabeth Gymnastics Club, we are deeply committed to providing a safe, supportive, and enriching environment where every gymnast can grow — both as an athlete and as an individual. Our duty of care is central to everything we do and is guided by the following core principles:

• Clear Chain of Command: We maintain structured communication and leadership to ensure smooth operations and strong support for all athletes.

• Safe & Inclusive Environment: We strive to provide a safe, respectful, and harmonious space where all gymnasts can train free from distractions and personal conflicts.

• Qualified, Competent Coaching: Our coaches are dedicated professionals who uphold high standards of training, tailoring instruction to suit each gymnast’s stage of development.

• Club Growth & Community: We are committed to the long-term growth of the club, continually enhancing our programs and facilities so all members can thrive.

• Passionate & Purpose-Driven Coaching: Our coaching team is not only skilled but deeply passionate about helping each gymnast reach their full potential — in performance and beyond.

But our vision goes far beyond just building great athletes.

We believe in developing confident, resilient young people. Our training approach weaves in essential life skills such as determination, focus, courage, teamwork, self-belief, and self-esteem. We take pride in knowing that, long after they’ve retired from the sport, our gymnasts carry these traits into all areas of life.

At Elizabeth Gymnastics Club, every athlete becomes part of a supportive and growing family. We encourage our older gymnasts to step into leadership roles — as coaches, judges, and mentors — fostering a culture of giving back and community spirit.

​Together, we are strong. Together, we are a team.
