WightTricks Academy

Welcome to WightTricks Academy, the Isle of Wight’s premier destination for urban sports and movement arts. Established in 2018, we are the island's only dedicated Tricking Academy, offering a unique blend of gymnastics, martial arts, acrobatics, and breakdancing. Our mission is to provide world-class coaching that empowers athletes to build confidence, fitness, and discipline, starting from their very first cartwheel and progressing all the way to national and world championship stages.

Our state-of-the-art facility is specifically designed for tricking and acrobatics, featuring a full sprung floor, Airfloor, trampolines, foam pits, and specialist movement equipment. This specialized infrastructure ensures safe, progressive learning for athletes of all levels. Whether you are looking to develop strength, improve flexibility, or master complex aerial skills, our structured pathways guarantee that you train with the right surfaces and equipment for optimal development.

We offer comprehensive classes for every age and ability, from playful, sensory-led sessions for toddlers (walking to 5 years) to foundation classes for kids (5–9 years). Our flagship Junior and Teen programs cater to athletes aged 8–19, focusing on building a broad trick vocabulary, improving coordination, and developing personal style. For those seeking elite performance, we offer invite-only Competition Squads and Talent Groups, supported by rigorous Strength & Conditioning programming designed by sports scientist Robbie Bates. We also provide Adult Open sessions and private 1-1 coaching for tailored progression.

Tricking is more than just a sport; it is a creative expression of movement. At WightTricks, we foster a calm, standards-led environment where athletes are coached, not just supervised. Our experienced coaching team, including Head Coach Robbie Bates and Pro Team athlete Bowie Brennan, brings over 20 years of combined experience, having developed world champions and international competitors. Join our community to experience the excitement of tricking, make lasting friendships, and discover what you are truly capable of.

Fantastic experience: Great (safe) place for kids to enjoy an hour of tricking. Learning how to do a cartwheel is only the beginning. Our daughter goes twice a week after school and can't get enough.
