About Gym Academy Parents

We are the Parent Support Group for The Gym Academy, Doha.

Ideally, we would like to share ideas and thoughts on how we can do more for our little gymnasts.

We want to create more of a team/community spirit as there are so many families involved in this club.

There are two ways to get involved:

• Join the Facebook Group
• Send an email to gymacademyparents@gmail.com [ In the email please include the names of your children doing gym and their membership number ]

The aim of the group is to:

• organise social events for kids & parents, as well as more displays and mini-competitions
• inform parents of club updates
• gather volunteers to assist in the running of club events
• sell club merchandise (t-shirts, shorts, hoodies, leotards, etc)
• field questions that parents may have about the club, coaches, gymnastics, levels, competitions

Thanks,

Gill Robinson & Nicky Collings
