Support Our National Team gymnasts
iSTAR Academy is proud to be the home club for members of the British National Team in Rhythmic Gymnastics.
Rhythmic Gymnastics is a self-funded discipline meaning that although these girls are representing their country, they are required to fund their training and competition expenses themselves. This costs the athletes and their families thousands of pounds every year. Unfortunately, without the generous support from sponsorships and fundraising, these gymnasts would be unable to sustain the level that they are currently competing at.
You can help these girls to continue on their journey and achieve their dreams! Any support will contribute towards the gymnasts’ training expenses, competition expenses in the UK and abroad, apparatus, custom-made leotards, coaching expenses, and physio and nutrition support.
Our gymnasts are based in the Brighton and Shoreham area but some of the team have relocated from as far as Nottingham to pursue their goals. This has involved leaving their families and changing schools to enable them to access our performance training programme. Our athletes balance their school and university studies alongside up to 30 hours of training every week. These girls are extremely hard working and driven individuals making them fantastic role models for young girls and great ambassadors for women’s sport.
