Spelthorne Elite Acrobatics


For over two decades Spelthorne Elite Acrobatics, based in Ashford, Middlesex, have dominated acrobatic gymnastics in Great Britain and internationally.

The Club, initially formed by Bob Cooper in 1986 as part of Spelthorne Gymnastics Club and since then have continued to go from strength to strength. They now train in a facility near to Brooklands College in Ashford.

Head coach, and former mixed pair World Champion, Neil Griffiths and his coaching team continue to produce world class acrobats and the club boasts over 200 gold medals at National & International events, 8 of which are World Titles.

At the 2008 World Championships, Spelthorne took home 2 senior Bronze medals, and the team silver medal and in the Junior and 11-16 age groups, they won 2 silver medals and now have the junior mixed pair world champions, Joshua Simpson and Kimberley Hunter.
