New sprung floor

Aim

Help us build Hertford's only sprung floor! 🤸 Prevent injuries and unlock elite skills for our gymnasts. Spring our gymnasts into action!

Who are we?

Established in 2023, we are a passionate not-for-profit dedicated to bringing high-energy, progressive gymnastics to all ages and abilities in Hertford. From crawling babies to ambitious teens, we provide a safe, fun environment where every child can flourish. As the only club in Hertford fundraising for a professional sprung floor, we are committed to providing elite-level safety that offers reduced risk of injury and protects growing joints.

We are proud partners of the Ware and Hertford Sports Partnership, hosting school competitions to create more opportunities for local children. Our full-time Hertford unit is staffed by IGA-compliant, DBS-checked coaches and paediatric first-aiders. By supporting our sprung floor project, you help us transform our high-quality coaching into a center of excellence, giving our gymnasts the professional foundation they need to master new skills safely.

Why are we crowdfunding?

We are crowdfunding to bring a professional sprung floor to our full-time Hertford unit—a vital upgrade that will make us the only club in the area to offer this elite facility. While we provide high-energy, expert coaching, our current floor lacks the advanced shock absorption needed for high-impact gymnastics.

Crowdfunding allows us to bridge the gap between being a great local club and a center of excellence. A sprung floor is essential for:

* Safety & Longevity: It dissipates impact, resulting in less fear of injury for our gymnasts and protecting their joints as they grow.

* Skill Development: The specialised rebound enables gymnasts to master advanced tumbling safely, unlocking new competitive opportunities.

* Community Impact: As a not-for-profit, every penny raised goes directly into this foundation, ensuring Hertford’s youth have access to the same professional standards as elite clubs around the UK.

Help us build the safe, powerful foundation our gymnasts deserve.

How we’ll spend the money raised

Every penny raised through this campaign is strictly dedicated to the procurement and installation of our new professional-grade sprung floor. As a not-for-profit, our priority is transparency and direct impact on our gymnasts' safety.

The funds will be allocated toward:

* High-Performance Materials: Purchasing the specialized spring system and dual-layer plywood subfloor designed to absorb maximum impact.

* Safety Foam & Carpeting: Adding high-density technical foam and a non-slip landing surface for less fear of injury.

* Professional Installation: Ensuring the floor is precision-fitted to our Hertford unit by certified specialists to meet all saftey standards.

By reaching our goal, we will transform our space into the only facility in Hertford with this technology. This investment ensures our equipment matches the high quality of our coaching, providing a foundation that directly fuels our gymnasts' progress and future opportunities

Community impact

Our project goes far beyond just new equipment; it is an investment in the health and future of Hertford’s youth. By installing the only professional sprung floor in town, we are creating a unique center of excellence that is accessible to everyone in our community.

The impact of your support will be felt across several key areas:

* Elevating Local Talent: We provide the physical foundation for gymnasts to reach elite levels, opening doors to competitive opportunities and scholarships that previously required traveling outside of Hertford.

*Strengthening Schools: Our partnership with the Ware and Hertford Sports Partnership means local primary schools will now compete on a world-class surface, fostering pride and school spirit.

* Health for All: From "crawling babies" to teens, we provide a space where physical literacy is built on a surface that ensures less fear of injury, promoting a lifetime of healthy, active living.

By supporting us, you aren’t just helping a club; you are building a safer, more ambitious home for sport in the heart of our community.
