Kestrel Gymnastics Group are pleased to welcome you/your child as a new member of the Group.
The aim of the Group is to provide a safe, effective and child friendly environment in which the members can participate in gymnastics activities under the guidance of appropriately qualified coaches. We operate an open philosophy and welcome the support of parents or guardians. Wherever possible, we will enable you to observe training sessions provided that it does not contravene our Health and Safety regulations.

The members of the Group are organised into groups according to their age, gender, ability, experience and individual needs. Coaches will be pleased to discuss the training programmes and the needs of your child with you at appropriate times. We provide a child-centred, coach-led programme and will endeavour to help your child develop to their optimum level of performance. Our coaches are all British Gymnastics qualified at the appropriate level and have been screened for their suitability to work with children.
A child protection coordinator has been appointed by the Committee to deal with any child protection/poor practice issues. Arrangements should be made to escort your child to and from training sessions and events. We would appreciate your child arriving and being collected promptly.
Participants are required to be appropriately dressed in gymnastics attire, but sensitive discretion within the bounds of reasonable safety, will be shown in particular circumstances.
The Group has adopted the Scottish Gymnastics Policy and Code of Practice for Child Protection, the British Gymnastics Health, Safety and Welfare Policy, and the Scottish Gymnastics Equity Policy to which all the officials, coaches, members and parents must adhere.
