Badge Week ~ w/c Monday 12th January 2026

Held every 3 months at John Pounds Centre and Hilsea, Badge Week next commences this week, from Monday 12th January, and is a chance for all of us to celebrate our gymnasts' hard work and achievements.

The annual Badge Scheme subscription covers all four Badge Weeks throughout the year and will automatically recur unless cancelled.

All gymnasts pass their badge due to our inclusive programme, so anyone who has enrolled in the Badge Scheme gets their badge every 3 months, plus an end-of-year completion award once they have completed 12 consecutive months of gymnastics.

Badge presentation will be at the beginning or end of your gymnast's normal session and will involve parents being invited into the gym by coaches while gymnasts line up for presentation.

The timings for badge presentation are below. Please note, timings are approximate and may vary by a minute or two from the below. Please be patient with your gymnasts' coaches whilst they organise this:
