About Us 

Upstarts is a Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC), providing artistic gymnastics activities for boys and girls of all ages. We offer early years through to teens, at all levels from recreational participation to a variety of competitive opportunities.

​

At Upstarts we like to give children the opportunity to reach their potential in gymnastics, with fun and a safe environment at the heart of our provision.  Operating at a dedicated facility in Hathern, Loughborough, we offer excellent coach to gymnast ratios to give the greatest experience and engagement for our gymnasts.

​

We are proud to offer a Young Leader programme for our older gymnasts, to learn about all aspects of volunteering within the sport, from coaching and judging to event support and organisation.

​

Our links to Loughborough University supports the mentoring of aspiring coaches and provision of coaching opportunities for students. We also provide employment for qualified coaches and provide a pathway to those qualifications for people who enjoy coaching or those wishing to have a career in gymnastics.

​

Upstarts Gymnastics Club holds 'GymMark', the Sport England ClubMark standards accreditation scheme, and all our coaches are members of British Gymnastics and hold DBS Enhanced checks.
