About Us

Welcome to AirAcro Gymnastics — a dynamic and welcoming gymnastics club based in West Sussex, Great Britain, dedicated to excellence, enjoyment, and athlete development at every level.

At the heart of our club is Sports Acrobatics (often known as Sports Acro), a breathtaking discipline that blends teamwork, balance, strength, flexibility, trust, and performance. Gymnasts work in pairs or groups to build pyramids, perform lifts, and create fast-paced dynamic routines that truly showcase what the human body can achieve. It’s a sport where partnership matters, confidence grows, and creativity shines.

AirAcro Gymnastics was created to bring this unique and inspiring sport to more families, while providing a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment for gymnasts to learn, grow, and excel. While acrobatics is our specialty, we are proud to be more than just an acro club — we aim to be a true gymnastics home for everyone.

Our coaching team includes former National and International Champions who have competed at World Championships and European Championships. Several members of our staff have been recognised by British Gymnastics, achieving Master Coach Status – a testament to their expertise and commitment to the sport.
