Dear Parents & Gymnasts
To round off our term we will hold a Recreational Club Competition on Saturday 28th January. This competition is for all our gymnast who participate in our Wednesday afternoon, Friday evening & Saturday morning sessions in Douglas Community School.
This is a fantastic way for our gymnasts to show off some of the skills they have learnt during the year. Our younger gymnasts will do a skills competition. Where they will perform individual skills. 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.
Gymnasts will be split into groups and compete on the same mat as other gymnast of a similar age and level. Medals will be presented to 1st, 2nd & 3rd but all gymnasts will receive a certificate and some sweets for their efforts.
As we have a large number of gymnasts we have split the day into four competitions. Please see list below as to what time your child’s competition is at & needs to be at the a hall for. (please do not arrive earlier then the stated time or else this will clash with the previous competition leading to chaos in the hall).
