KCGA Newsletter
Stories, Insights, and Milestones from Our Gymnastics Community
Updated: April 2026
The KCGA Newsletter is our way of sharing the life of the Academy — from gymnast achievements and events to coaching insights and reflections on children’s development through gymnastics.
Each issue captures moments, progress, and ideas that define Kensington & Chelsea Gymnastics Academy as a trusted, long-term gymnastics home for families in London.
Latest Issue
Issue 7 — April 2026
Issue 7 captures KCGA’s Spring term at a lively and meaningful point, centred on Easter Sessions across Kensington, Chelsea, and Knightsbridge and the steady progress children build through structured, supportive coaching. This issue features a Student Spotlight celebrating our gymnasts in action during Easter Sessions, Coach Stefan’s Coach’s Corner on why lasting development begins long before the biggest skills appear, and a Director’s Competition Diary update as Dr Stefan Kolimechkov prepares to represent Kensington & Chelsea Gymnastics Academy at the 2026 Masters Gymnastics World Cup in Cambridge, USA. Our Science & Health Tip links to a parent guide on how gymnastics can support posture in children, while the issue also includes highlights from the March video update, full Summer Term class timetables across all KCGA venues, important fee reminders for current students, news of new 4–6 age group spaces in Kensington and Chelsea, and an update on the upcoming Kensington Gymnastics Podcast.
