Parents Best overseas gymnastics

[ritikaxlri07]

Check out IGC (international gymnastics camp). It’s a residential camp that is a mix of fun summer camp and gymnastics training. It’s set up for kids to stay several weeks if that is what you are looking for. Most other camps are just for a weekend or a week at most and have limited activities outside of The training sessions.

Thank you for your reply.I know about IGC but USA is not an option for us this year.Since we are spending a lot of summer in Europe looking for place to practice there with some English language skills.I tried to search with other parents posted about civitavecchia in Italy bit i googled couldn't find anything.Do would need parents help in finding contacts or name of clubs for Italy/english speaking other places in Europe

Just puttin in my two cents worth here... I dont know about the states but summer is hard in Europe as everywhere tends to close in August due to the heat. Not sure about Germany though. At New year we went to Turkey, the training was amazing!

May I ask what club you attended at in Turkey?

My daughter is only 10 and we live in London but this summer I took her to Italy for a week to train in Civitaveccia and then to Barcelona. Both had good programs (Italians are super advanced on bar even at that age). Athletes are coming and going from all around Italy and the world to Civitaveccia. They even have a luggage room. Big, well equipped gym. Barcelona also has some good girls who have fed into the Olympic program in Madrid. I have contact both both coaches if needed. English wasn't a problem in Civitaveccia but it was all Spanish in Barcelona (my daughter speaks Spanish but I can't and needed one of the other mum's to translate). I would agree that the UK is hard to break into unless you have been elite from a young level; it seems over subscribed. I dont know how many times I've physically gone to gyms and left notes because I couldn't get a reply by email or on the phone... still ignored (eg Harrow/ Aylesbury). Heathrow and East London could be good options.

Hi! Would you be able to share a bit more of civitaveccia? I have a young gymnast doing the development pathway in the UK and we are looking to move to Italy. I just wanted to make sure I can find her a place to train before taking the plunge.
