British Gymnastics to receive £11.78m to keep young people in sport

Sport England has announced it has committed funding worth £11.78 million to gymnastics to help capitalise on our most successful ever Olympic Games.

The investment will support talent development and fund new or refurbished facilities and programmes that are designed to keep more children and young people involved in the sport, including offering activities like freestyle gymnastics. Gymnastics has been recognised as a key foundation sport and vital contributor in providing participants with the fundamental skills for many other sports. For this reason British Gymnastics is the only governing body where Sport England will invest its funding into under-14s.

The award includes a £1 million investment in talent development, this programme includes the appointment of 10 regional co-ordinators and increased competition opportunities for talented gymnasts just below the World Class Performance programme level.~
