Coaches reach new levels

Big well done to coaches Betty and Patricia for passing their level 2 coaching exam today.

Both coaches thanked head coach Ceri for being their mentor and to the gymnasts [and parents] who gave up part of their Sunday to assist them as part of their assessments.

‘Go team Buckley’ at North Wales Area Prelims

Development class gymnasts General 2 gymnasts

There was success at the North Wales Area Prelims in Deeside, writes coach Ceri Kingsley-Williams.

Gymnasts from Development and General classes gave beautiful performances which made coaches Julie, Kristy, Zoe, Jess and Ceri very proud. Young leaders Amelia and Bella were also delighted with the girls performances.

Bella and Amelia have worked so hard in class to help get them ready for today as have Lottie and Millie. We are lucky to have so many dedicated young leaders.

Gymnasts walked away with ribbons and medals – too many to mention individually.

A big thank you to coach Jo who judged for the entire day, proving once again that success is a team effort.

A big thank you also to coaches Sally and Helen who work tirelessly for the club but were unable to attend on the day. We kept in touch via messenger so they didn’t miss a thing.

Go Team Buckley!

Inters win Smarties tube fundraiser

Smarties tubeA big thank you to everyone who contributed to the Smarties Tube Fundraiser as we’ve raised £966.55 towards new gym equipment.

After 6 hours of counting 20ps, the Intermediate class has come out with the highest average donation and they will be invited to a free 2 hour training session with head coach Ceri Sass at a time and date to be confirmed.

We’re still accepting filled Smarties Tubes but it’s too late to go into the competition.

If your daughter is in Intermediates and you did not donate, but you are intending to take up the offer of the free training session, we suggest a donation of at least £7.82 (the average raised per child) would be much appreciated!

Girls compete at Llanelli

 

Well done to Advanced gymnast Charlotte who received a commendation at Regional Grade 2 with five clean routines at the event in Llanelli earlier today. The competition had to be rescheduled due to bad weather earlier this year.

Meanwhile, fellow Advanced gymnasts Ruby and Ava represented North Wales in Welsh grades finals on Saturday after doing very well in their Grade 6 and 5 during a competition at Deeside in February.
