History

MK Springers was started in February 2004 on a cold Saturday morning in The Radcliffe School, Wolverton. Many of the gymnasts who attended that very first session still train with us today. Soon afterwards we started classes at Brook End School. 

In 2005 we opened Roade Gym club which takes place on Fridays at the Willison centre in Roade near Northampton.

Easter 2006 we moved from Brook End to The Hazeley School, this allowed us an increase in training hours. We started an acro (sports acrobatics) section. Our acrobats are now winning medals in both Sports Acrobatics and Tumbling.

Easter 2007 we took the decision to move from The Hazeley School to a spot just 500 yards down the road at Medbourne Community Sports Pavilion. This new pavilion gave us the chance to offer more classes throughout the year.

January 2007 we also formed a new club at Oak Grove Leisure Centre in Middelton. This venue offers training twice a week on a Monday & Tuesday.

Another new venture in 2007  was an Easter Camp; this was a three day residential camp for gymnasts, they had the opportunity to work with an international acro coach, a national trampoline coach and an international (IPC), tumbling coach. This we hope to be an annual event with a possibility of a summer camp also.

June 2008 we opened another club at Tickford Park Primary School, Newport Pagnell. Gymnasts can train here on a Saturday morning.

Easter 2009 was the start of our most ambitious project yet, with the move from Medbourne to a large (10,500 sq ft) building on Kiln Farm. Most of our major changes tend to happen at Easter, we don’t know why! Watch this space for future developments
