AAAsports are set to relaunch better than ever with a Socially Distanced Open Day on Saturday 1st August!  Read on to discover more about our exciting relaunch plans!

Class Relaunch Dates
Following feedback from our parents plus advice from the UK Government and our governing bodies, AAAsports will  delay resuming our regular weekly classes at all locations until September 2020.  This gives all of our Members who are still unsure about attending classes again time to assess the safety measures we have in place, and removes the need to commit to regular classes over the summer months, in addition for us ensuring the suitability of our partner locations for our classes.

PAYG Classes - Throughout August
We will be running Pay-As-You-Go classes at AAAsports Sunderland throughout August - Members can take part in as many or as few classes as they'd like by simply booking through their myAAA accounts!  All classes will be run under relevant guidelines, which may change as the year progresses!  Rest assured - all AAAsports classes have been fully risk assessed with safety being our main priority!

Class Amendments
Due to the COVID crisis, we have had to make significant changes to our classes to take in to account new regulations and requirements.  As a result, we are restructuring all of our classes to ensure that we can continue to provide the high service levels our Members have come to expect.  This does mean that class times will be altered for many Members once we restart in September 2020 - our team will be in touch with Members over the summer who are part of affected classes.

There will be a number of changes within classes to continue improving the classes we offer, allowing an increased focus on fun activities, additional apparatus pieces and new competition and reward opportunities!  Keep checking your email for more information on these exciting new developments!

Payments
Our automated charging system was disabled throughout lockdown to ensure our Members didn't pay for classes we weren't able to deliver.  As Members were still technically enrolled though, our system continued to add charges to Members accounts.  Our team will now work on manually correcting the accounts of all of our Members to bring them back up to date with our September relaunch date - please bear with us!

All fees paid for April 2020 classes will be transferred to September 2020 instead to ensure that our Members don't lose out, meaning most Members will next pay for classes on 15th September 2020.  This payment date will also include the 2020/21 Memberships, which have been substantially reduced for existing Members to compensate for the lockdown closures.

Office Hours
Our team are beginning to increase their office hours right now, however this will still not be the hours which were in place pre-lockdown.  We are asking that any Members send their questions via email and we will respond as soon as we can, but please be aware this may take a little longer than usual!

After months of lockdown, AAAsports classes are finally set to restart very soon, better than ever before!

With a whole host of exciting changes and so many questions from parents, we will be holding Virtual Parents Meetings on Monday 20th July, from 6pm for Participation Members and from 7pm for Squad Members.

During the meeting, we will explain the measures we have in place and try to answer as many questions as possible.  If you have a question that you would like answering, please send them to us and we will answer as many as we can!

To enrol in the meeting, click here and enrol through your myAAA account, then simply check your emails 5 minutes before the meeting is scheduled to start!

We hope to see you all on Monday!

Whilst the UK Government have announced indoor physical activity can re-open from 25th July, we want to make sure that our Members feel safe and comfortable to return to their activities whilst we provide the highest quality experience our Members have come to expect.

We are therefore asking Members to let us know their thoughts on re-opening opportunities by completing a simple survey here.  The survey will take only a few minutes and will help us to make sure that we can provide classes suitable for everyone again as quickly as possible!

We look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Exciting announcements from the UK Government tonight as they announce that indoor sports activities can restart from 25th July!  AAAsports will now begin working with our governing bodies and delivery partners to plan to resume our classes in a way that can allow every one to enjoy their classes and stay safe at the same time.

There will undoubtedly be some big changes to how we run classes in the future - some which had previously been decided before lockdown began and others which will be essential for the welfare of everyone involved in our sport.  Once these have been confirmed and more information becomes available, we will make this available as soon as possible.

We ask that all Members continue to check our website, social media and newsletters for more information in the build-up to our return, and we hope to see everyone back in our classes again very soon!

AAAsports Members have demonstrated their overwhelming support and generosity by helping us smash our Crowdfunder campaign targets and securing matched funding, which will help us to make sure we can reopen safely!

AAAsports Members absolutely smashed our target and are still continuing to make payments - thank you to everyone who has donated!  To follow our progress, click here!

We really appreciate all the donations our Members have made to ensuring they can continue with their activities as soon as possible, and all donations made towards our campaign can be converted in to credit in their myAAA accounts.  Information on how to convert your donation will be sent out by email once the campaign officially closes and the funding is processed.

We're now preparing to reopen better than ever, and we can't wait to see all of our Members back in our classes soon!

Over the last 15 weeks, AAAsports Coaches Matei, Millie and Rosie have delivered free classes every weeknight for our Members!  We've had hundreds of Members take part across all disciplines and locations, with a range of fun activities for everyone to keep in touch with their friends and keep themselves active!

As we approach our reopening, our team will be focusing on making sure our classes are better than ever.  We're therefore inviting everyone to join us for one last free lockdown quiz on Friday night at 6pm!  To take part and be in with your chance of being crowned our final Lockdown Quiz Champion, simply enrol through your myAAA account for free then check your email the the link to play just before 6pm on Friday!

AAAsports are excited to announce that from today, our team are starting to return to work and prepare for the restart of our classes across the region!  Whilst we await the official go-ahead from the UK Government, our team are now hard at work preparing exciting new activities for all of our Members!

We have been touched by the level of support which has been shown by our Members, particularly those who pre-paid their class fees or donated through our Crowdfunder campaign.  We can't wait to see all of our Members again and start delivering the best activity classes in the region!

At this time our team are working from home and focusing on relaunching our classes safely and better than ever before - once we have further information regarding our reopening we will notify all Members by email, therefore we ask Members wait for this information before contacting us.

We have some huge plans for the upcoming season to offer even more opportunities to our Members - we're excited to unveil more soon!

Join us for a full week of activities starting at 6:00pm every night!  Everyone is welcome to take part, including friends and family, and all virtual activities are FREE!

Simply enrol through your myAAA account, then check your email at 5:55pm on the day of your activity for your link to join our activities!  Spaces in each activity are limited though, so remember to sign up here as soon as possible to guarantee your space!

Join in the interactive fun from home with AAAsports this week!

On Wednesday, we invite our Squad Members to take part in an interactive group Conditioning Workout, live from their living rooms!  Our Coaches will take everyone through their paces with encouragement from everyone in the session!

On Thursday, it's your chance to win some great prizes with our interactive quiz!  Play at home with your whole family - nothing physical but still a whole lot of fun!

Then on Friday it's Award Assessment time!  Our Coaches will be testing Members ready for their next Award through our great online system - Members who achieve their latest awards can even have them delivered direct to their homes!

All of these activities are completely FREE to take part!  Simply enrol online through your myAAA account and look out for further information in your email!  Spaces in each activity are strictly limited though, so secure your space now!

It is with great sadness and deep disappointment that AAAsports classes will be suspended from 8pm on Friday 20th March at all locations until further notice.  We have also taken the decision to postpone the AAAsports Championships & Presentation Ceremony, which were due to be held in June 2020.

We have always reinvested our profits back in to our classes, our Coaches and our facilities meaning we have always kept very little in reserve, so now more than ever we ask for your understanding.  As we try to protect the jobs of our Coaches and secure the future of our classes, we are not currently in a position to offer any refunds on class fees.  At this time, we are working with our payment providers to suspend future class payments and will look to arrange credits and additional opportunities for affected Members once we know with more certainty what the future holds.

Our aim is to reopen our classes as soon as we can.  We want to see our Members being active and socialising with their friends, and we will be working hard to allow this to happen as quickly as possible in line with government advice.  In the meantime, we invite everyone to continue to interact with us through our social media pages, where we will be hosting a range of fun activities for everyone.

Thank you in advance for your support, stay safe, and we look forward to seeing everyone back in our classes as soon as possible!

We have this evening been informed that the Lakeside Centre will be closing with immediate effect, meaning all AAAsports Classes at this location will be cancelled until further notice.

We are meeting daily to determine the best course of action in this ever changing scenario, and any Members affected by cancellations will receive more information via email over the coming days.  We ask that Members ensure that they have opted in to receiving email notifications from us to enable emails to be received successfully.

All other AAAsports Classes are currently scheduled to run as normal, however we ask that Members continue to check our social media feeds and website before travelling to their classes to avoid any inconvenience.

Thank you to all of our Members for their patience understanding, and we hope to be able to provide you with more information very soon.

AAAsports are delighted to announce MyPetStop as the official sponsor of the AAAsports Championships and Presentation Ceremony!

In a unique partnership, MyPetStop and AAAsports will be working together in the run up to the event to create some special opportunities for AAAsports Members and MyPetStop guests, including some truly memorable experiences over the next few months!  This will be followed with a presence by the MyPetStop team at both events, including some very special guests at the Presentation Ceremony!

​"As the regions number one pet care facility, we're excited to get involved with the regions number one gymnastics, trampoline and cheerleading provider" said Catherine Nelson, Director at MyPetStop.  "We know that AAAsports provide top quality care and activities for their Members in the same way that we do for our guests, and we're looking forward to working together on this unique partnership in the build up to the AAAsports Championships in June 2020!"

AAAsports Head Coach, Andi Revell, added "This is a fantastic opportunity for both AAAsports and MyPetStop to create some great memories and opportunities for everyone involved.  We're all looking forward to working with MyPetStop - they say never to work with children or animals - we can't wait to work with both at the same time!"

Results from the Zonal Schools Trampoline competition are now available on our Downloads page!

Well done to everyone who took part!

Congratulations to Ava, Isabel and Ollie who all competed in the Zonal Schools Trampoline Competition in Newcastle this weekend!  This competition was the second round of the BSGA Trampoline Competition, with all three earning their space at a qualifying event in Billingham in December.

Qualifiers from across the North of England, North West, Yorkshire and Northern Ireland all took part in this event, with everyone battling to earn a space at a the prestigious National Schools Finals, being held in Eastleigh in March 2020.

All 3 Members performed full routines, with Isabel helping her school team place 2nd and securing her space in the National Finals, while Ollie placed 2nd in his age category and also earning his spot in the Finals!

Well done to everyone who competed and their Coaches, and good luck to Isabel and Ollie in the National Finals later in the year!

The first Award Assessment week will begin on Saturday 25th January, with all classes through to Friday 31st January giving AAAsports Members the opportunity to earn their next Award!

All AAAsports Members work towards the British Gymnastics Award Scheme within their classes, providing fantastic opportunities to show progression and development in their chosen activities.  Each Award gets progressively more difficult as Members move through the criteria, and are designed to complement the development of the more complex skills found across our activities!

Members who earn an Award will be given a confirmation slip, which can then be used to purchase the accompanying badge and certificate from their class for the next two weeks!  Members can then track their progress through the Skills Tracking facility in their myAAA account!

Due to the nature of the assessments taking place, our classes can look very different during Assessment Week!  We therefore recommend that parents read a little more about the structure of our activities on our dedicated Awards page, and check out how to monitor the progress of each Member in our Skills Tracking guide!

New stock has now been delivered to AAAsports, including a replenishment of our AAAsports T-shirts and hoodies!

You can look the part in our official merchandise, as well as buying a shiny new leotard for training in our classes, with a wide range to pick from in a selection of colours and designs!

Our January sale also continues, with some items up to 50% off - grab yourself a Mr Smiley T-shAAAshopirt for just £6, or leotards for as little as £15!

Year 1 pupils from Hill View Infants and Hudson Road Primary School visited AAAsports Sunderland today to take part in a fun, active gymnastics and trampoline session!

Delivered by our experienced AAAsports Coaches, pupils got the chance to try out fun skills on our trampolines, vault, beam and bars, learning new skills and developing their balance and co-ordination!

Teachers from the schools enjoyed watching their pupils taking part in activities they aren't able to offer in schools, and loved seeing the excitement on the faces of their pupils!  Congratulations to everyone who took part - we can't wait to see you again in the future!

AAAspors delivers a number of activities to schools across the region, including our FREE Legacy Project, with schools receiving a full day of activities in their school at no cost!  To arrange a visit from our team, contact us on 03335 776787!

As part of our Community Outreach Programme, AAAsports delivers FREE Taster Days to local schools, engaging every pupil in fun gymnastics and cheer classes throughout the day!

There's no cost to schools for this opportunity, which are taught by fully qualified, experienced and insured AAAsports Coaches!  Every class in the school will be given the opportunity to try out fun activities with us, promoting healthy living and an active lifestyle!

If your school would like us to visit for free, ask them to contact us on 03335 776787 or email membership@AAAsports.co.uk!

From competitions to special events, award weeks to training days, there's always something going on at AAAsports!

The latest dates are always posted to our Calendar page on our website, but we know this can be confusing if you're not sure of the level of competition or whether your eligible or not!  We add information to each diary entry, so if you're unsure simply click each event for more information, including a handy location guide!

We advise Members at the very least keep track of their next Award Assessment Day, and of course that you've got the AAAsports Championships & Presentation Ceremony in your diary!  27th & 28th June 2020 - don't miss out!

Of course, our team are always happy to answer any questions about dates, competitions or events that you have in the future - simply contact us on 03335 776787!

AAAsports Squad Members in Gymnastics, Trampoline and DMT are invited to attend our February Squad Training Day, to be held on Friday 21st February 2020, from 9am to 4pm!  Spend the day learning new skills with your Coaches, ready for the upcoming competition season!

Gymnastics Members will spend their day refining their skills and learning new ones on all 4 apparatus pieces, with longer rotations on each piece to provide additional practice time.  Trampoline Members will get the whole day on Trampoline, developing their skills and improving their routines ready for the next competition!

A full day of Squad Training is just £20 for the whole day from 9am to 4pm at AAAsports Sunderland!

To enrol, simply log in through your myAAA account here.

All AAAsports Gymnastics classes are 90 minutes long, meaning Members get to use all 4 apparatus pieces in every class!  Unlike many other providers who only allow their Members to use selected pieces during each class, AAAsports Members can learn skills on bars, beam, floor and vault during every class!

So we're asking - what's your favourite piece of Gymnastics apparatus?  Do you love the feeling of flying over the vault?  Does the grace and elegance of beam tick your boxes?  Do you adore the challenge that bars provides?  Or does the mix of power and dance make floor your favourite?!

Let us know your favourite on our Facebook page!

AAAsports operate classes at the Louisa Centre every Wednesday and Thursday, bringing our fun-filled Gymnastics and Trampoline classes to Stanley for everyone to enjoy!

Our 90-minute Gymnastics classes at the Louisa Centre are hugely popular, with Members taking part in all 4 apparatus pieces during every class, while our Trampoline Members gain the benefit of our 90-minute classes with their Coach, achieving awards and learning skills which they can monitor at home through our Skills Tracking facility!

A fantastic viewing gallery offers parents a great view of our classes, where they can watch our Members developing their newest skills and interacting with our fully qualified Coaches.  Members at the Louisa Centre also get the benefits associated with all AAAsports locations, including access to the AAAsports Championships, AAAsports Academy, Skills Tracking, Squad Trials and more, including full insurance cover for all Members!

To learn more about the Louisa Centre and the classes we offer, check out our locations page!
