Our older gymnast will put their skills into routines. The competition will be run in a friendly environment as possible with the gymnasts getting loads of help, support and encouragement from the coaches and judges.

Recently we held an Inter Club Friendly Competition. Gymnasts from Douglas competed against gymnasts from Cobh & Beara gymnastics clubs. For many it was their first ever competition. During the competition the girls got to see some of our advanced gymnasts perform beam and floor routines to inspire them to continue training hard.

 Many Douglas gymnasts took home medals. But all gymnasts went home with well deserved certificates and sweets !

Last Sunday 20th November.Four gymnasts travelled to Dublin to take part in the Intermediate Teams National Championships. competing for Douglas were – Hannah, Fiona, Meg & Aoife. Kate travelled as coach and Niamh & Emma were judges also on the day. The girls started their competiton on vault, a piece which had been giving some gymnasts a little bit of difficulty in the run up to the competition. But all girls were thrilled with there performance, a great start to the competition. Next it was on to bar again solid scoring.Fiona scoring 12.17 on bars was a fantastic achievement. Then it was on to beam. Despite having a fall off beam during her routine Meg should be very proud with a number of other coaches and judges commenting on her routine and how well it was performed. A big boost also on this piece for Hannah & Aoife who both had no falls during their routines. The last piece was floor all four of the gymnasts performed clean nicely presented routines.
All though the team finished outside the medals they scored a team score of 123.69. But well done to gymnasts .
