You are not required to buy a competition leotard to compete
For those who want to compete, a competition membership offers additional training time to practice skills and routines, along with support from committee members and coaches to understand competition requirements and create routines. However, you do not have to come to competition training to be able to compete.
We participate in the University Gymnastics Cup (South), who host 5 competitions per year and in the annual BUCS Gymnastics Championship.

Additional Cost of Sport Ranges
The additional cost of sport project, which was created by the Students’ Union, alongside uea+sport, is designed to give prospective members information on the range of costs they may face in joining their chosen sport.
This range should be taken as guidance. For compulsory costs, this price includes uea+sport membership which is £55, and you only need to pay once to join all of our clubs.
When considering additional costs, some clubs may have none and others may have further costs. This is often dependent on the level of competitiveness for the sport you get involved in, and so recreational or socially playing may be cheaper. You may also have equipment which can be used between multiple sports, for example shoes or gum shields.
For any questions, please ask the sport club for specific further information, or union.opportunities@uea.ac.uk for further information on the project.
Many thanks,
Luke Johnson
