about KOGC
The Club was formed
in 1985 and was based at Henry Gotch Senior School in
Kettering. At that time the coaches, Marie & Dave Mitchell,
had been coaching gymnastics for seven years at a club based
in Rushden. They became aware that there was a need for a
club in the Kettering area and, therefore, formed the
Kettering Olympic Gymnastics Club. Their interest in the
sport developed from both of their daughters being gymnasts.
During it's time at Henry Gotch, the Club bought all it's
own equipment and in 1993 moved to the Kettering Leisure
Village where the Sports Council had financed a specialist
area for gymnastics. On moving to the Village, it was soon
obvious that, although our equipment was of a high standard,
it was not sufficient for our up and coming gymnasts needs,
so we began to fundraise and with the help of a Grant from
the National Lottery, we were able to update our equipment
to National Standards. The facilities in the Club are one of
the best in Northamptonshire. In November 2003 we moved away
from the Kettering Leisure Village and in May 2004, opened
our own training centre in Brunel Close. This centre is
purely for our Club and all of the equipment is laid out
permanently.
