Family Play
Family Play Sessions are very similar to our Baby & Toddler Gym sessions, with the exception of allowing children up to the age of 7 to attend too!
Safety & Inclusion Guidelines for Participants with Additional Needs
As a high-performance gymnastics centre, safety and inclusivity are our top priorities. We follow the Independent Gymnastics Association (IGA) guidelines to ensure every participant's wellbeing. Some medical conditions, including Dwarfism, Brittle Bones, Detached Retina, Rodded Spine, and Down Syndrome, may require additional medical screening.
Specifically, gymnasts, children and members with Down Syndrome must undergo a mandatory screening for Atlanto-Axial Instability (AAI) to assess upper spine stability before participating. Full details on this policy are available here.
If your child has Down Syndrome, please download the AAI Screening Form and have it completed by a medical professional before they join. These steps are in place for their safety.
If you have any questions or need assistance with any of the points above, or if you'd like to discuss how we can support you, feel free to contact us at gym@southdurhamgym.co.uk.

To secure your space, we recommend booking online in advance.
All bookings are non-refundable and non-transferrable.
