Dunedin Gymnastic Academy

A Closer Look at Dunedin Gymnastic Academy

In the vibrant sporting scene of Dunedin, the Dunedin Gymnastic Academy plays a pivotal role as a dedicated gymnastics club, nurturing young talents through movement and skill development. We are committed to children and the enduring advantages that gymnastics brings to life, creating a positive and welcoming environment where potential and success flourish for everyone. Our mission centres on building a supportive gymnastics community that emphasises growth and achievement.

With a fantastic team of qualified coaches, we offer an array of programmes designed to develop fundamental movement patterns, including spring, landing, rotation, balance, swing, static positions, locomotion, and manipulation. These basics form the building blocks for even the most advanced skills—those that secure Olympic medals—through endless variations in movement qualities. When honed early, they boost participation and enjoyment in sports, support a healthy and active lifestyle, provide essential physical and motor skills for a lifetime, and enable success at any level of competitive or recreational pursuits.

Our gymnastics programmes enhance total body strength, flexibility, coordination, fitness, power, kinaesthetic awareness, and crucially, self-confidence. As the foundation sport for all physical activities, gymnastics teaches "how the body moves," laying the groundwork for excellence in any athletic endeavour. Suitable for everyone, our offerings cater to a range of abilities, ensuring participants gain the tools to excel and enjoy.
