AiylaAdvanced class gymnast Aiyla has been accepted on to the North Area Welsh Squads which means she will have extra training every Tuesday and one Sunday a month with development coaches from Welsh Gymnastics.

During her trials, Aiyla was tested on her flexibility, strength and skills on each apparatus.

The squads brings together the top gymnasts for their age to train as a team.

Coach Patricia said: “Not only is this an amazing opportunity for Aiyla and the club, but also for the coaches to build on their knowledge for the sport to help with the future success for Aiyla and future gymnasts.”

Good luck to Aiyla for the up coming Welsh squad trials.

Eggs
We are collecting Easter treats for Flintshire Foodbank. There will be boxes to collect donations of Easter eggs and chocolates at Gwernaffield and Buckley gyms on Saturday 6 April.

The foodbank is short of things like packets and tins of potatoes, custard and rice pudding as well as toothpaste and soap. And their website says they have plenty of beans, pasta, soup and sugar.

Making the grade

Posted on March 24, 2019 by Web team

deesideSome advanced class girls attended a ‘run’ through competition on Friday at Deeside Leisure Centre before heading to Cardiff in a few weeks’ time for the real deal.

They competed in both compulsory and national level grades against girls from around the north area.

Macey and Mia entered national grade 4 with Megan and Zara entering national 3.

We also had Abi, Amelia and Bella competing at national grade 1. And Aiyla competed in the compulsory level 4 competition.

All our girls came away with ribbons, medals and trophies for their performances, with Aiyla 3rd overall in her compulsory competition.

In national grade 1, Abi was 4th overall, Amelia 2nd and Bella was champion. Mia was 2nd overall in grade 4, and Zara 4th overall in grade 3.

Coach Betty said while the girls showed “lots of fantastic work” there was still “time to work extra hard and go down to Cardiff and shine” next month.

A big thank you to coaches who judged and helped on the night.
