British Gymnastics Launch Freeg Hybrid
British Gymnastics has announced the launch of a new freestyle gymnastics activity, FreeG, which combines traditional gymnastics and acrobatic tricks with kicks and leaps inspired by martial arts and stunts.
The governing body has developed the new club-based activity following an increase in the popularity of adrenaline fuelled freestyle sports.
To get an idea of what the new sport combines, check out a taster video at Sport Industry TV.
The governing body has also partnered with Continental Sport to design a range of bespoke freestyle-specific equipment which can be used during sessions by qualified FreeG coaches across the country.
David Marshall, head of development at British Gymnastics, said: ‘With the increasing appeal of freestyle sports in the UK we see FreeG as an opportunity for budding freestylers to learn a range of dynamic and exciting tricks in a safe environment.’
‘We hope the launch of FreeG will encourage those who have never taken part in gymnastics to go to a BG affiliated club or leisure centre offering FreeG and give this exciting new style of gymnastics a go.’
FreeG has been included by British Gymnastics as part of a wider range of participation opportunities offered by BG affiliated clubs.
