Jess and Alice

Two gymnasts in the intermediate class spend extra time helping coaches with younger gymnasts.

Jess and Alice offer their time helping girls in the Saturday morning sessions by providing some coaching and support.

Sunday 7 July was not only the day Andy Murray become the first British man to win Wimbledon in 77 years, it was also the 4th Annual Buckley Summer Invitational Competition, writes coach Ceri Sass.

This year saw a record number of entires with 120 gymnasts competing from five clubs – Buckley, Deeside, Grays, Bangor and Wrexham Olympic.

It gives gymnasts who train under 4 hours per week a chance to compete and show their parents what skills they have been working in their weekly sessions.

Feedback has been extremely positive from coaches and parents from different clubs.

Well done to all the girls who competed from Buckley. You did the club proud!

Also, well done to the gymnasts from the other clubs. We hope to see you back next year!!

I would like to personally thank the coaches, judges and parents that made the running of the competition smooth and enjoyable for all!
