About
Our Story
TeamGym4Health is a 30-month Erasmus+ Collaborative Partnership involving 7 organisations from 7 countries, united by a shared vision: children and youth active in health through the practice of Team Gym.
Team Gym is a relatively new gymnastics discipline — a team sport for all ages, levels and abilities. Through a fun, stimulating and challenging environment, it helps young people develop motor and social skills, avoid early sports dropout and build healthy, active habits for life.
To make this possible, the project developed a coach education approach — the TeamGym4Health Educational Methodology (TG4HEM) — and trained 150 coaches across 30 grassroots clubs, who then implemented 6-month pilot programmes with 180 young athletes across all partner countries.
