ABOUT US
MYC Gymnastics is a not-for-profit entity run by an elected volunteer committee of management.
Mornington Youth Club Inc was established in 1962 to take over the activities of the Mornington Police and Citizens Youth Club which was formed in 1954 the club home was 130 Wilsons Road, Mornington.
Over the years Mornington Youth Club ran a variety of sporting and social activities including hockey, marching girls, calisthenics and judo. Eventually due to sheer numbers, gymnastics became the only sport under the banner of Mornington Youth Club.
Around 2000 the Committee of management started negotiating with the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council for assistance in obtaining a larger venue. We relocated to our current home at Civic Reserve, Mornington in October 2014. At this time the club changed it's name to MYC Gymnastics.
Throughout all these years and changes the club's culture has remained constant, a blend of nurturing and teaching skills, instilling a feeling of achievement and improved self esteem, all in an atmosphere of fun and safety. A prime component in the spirit of the Club is the belief in all children being treated equally and being given the opportunity to develop to their potential.
MYC Gymnastics runs a two year trainee program which allows senior gymnasts to develop their coaching skills.
All classes are trained by fully qualified coaches under the Gymnastics Australia guidelines.
MYC are committed to maintaining a Child Safe organisation, we are devoted to promoting child safety and take our child protection responsibilities seriously. MYC consider any form of child abuse intolerable and have zero tolerance for child abuse.
