Salto National Gymnastics Centre

Salto Gymnastics Club is Ireland's only Dedicated Gymnastics Academy

At a cost of nearly £1.5m the all new purpose built gymnastics training facility opened in January 2007. It has been the dream of Director Tony Byrne who started the Salto Gymnastics Club over 20 years ago who summed up the journey:

"It has been a long journey to get this far, but a first class facility alone does not make a champion a system does. We now have all the pieces of this system eventually coming together world class coaches, time, an excellent facility and of course the talented individuals. We have given fun and enjoyment to many children and produced many great gymnasts the future is bright and I extend our thanks to Sports Council Northern Ireland and Lisburn City Council."

Tony has great plans for improving significantly the level of gymnastics competance throughout Ireland and the new gym is just the start. The new state of the art facility is jointly funded by Salto, Sports Council NI and the City of Lisburn. It is the biggest and most well equipped gymnastics academy in Ireland with coaches of the highest quality and calibre.
