Well done to our coaches Dave and Jo for passing their Women’s Artistic Level 2 qualification.
As level 2 coaches they will be able to run their own sessions in the gym, develop the girls in more advanced moves, taking them on to compete as well as acting as mentors to other new coaches.
It was all change in the gym on Saturday as some of our gymnasts started in their new classes.
The youth class had its first session. Coaches Bob and Helen ran the class from 11am-2pm. It will be held every Saturday.
The girls have swapped their four-piece training to concentrate on floor work, tumbling and vaulting.
The aim is to take part in displays and competitions in the future.
They’re also working on their pyramid!
Prizes for best home made fancy dress outfit and carved pumpkin. No naked flames please.
Please purchase tickets from class coach
