Recreational & Recreational Plus Club Competition 2023

Details for our Recreational gymnasts are outlined in this email.

Thursday 23rd, Friday 24th, Saturday 25th & Sunday 26th Nov

Dear Parents/Guardians,

This year our Annual Recreational Club Competition will take place on Thursday 23rd . Friday 24th, Saturday 25th & Sunday 26th November.

We are excited to announce this year’s Annual Recreational Club Competition- will run from Thursday 23rd to Sunday 26th November.

In the lead up to the Club Competition all gymnasts in our Recreational groups will learn the competition routines within their weekly sessions – each routine is specific to an age group/level. We would encourage all gymnasts to consider taking part.

Once gymnasts commence learning routines, we will also circulate these to parents so gymnasts can practice at home. These will be circulated via email in written format and our Recreational routines will also be posted on our Facebook page & Instagram.

This will be a fun event for all our gymnasts to take part in. It will allow them to experience the dynamics of a gymnastics competition. We hope to see parents, guardian, friends & family in attendance supporting our young athletes.

All Recreational gymnasts wishing to take part must enter through our parent portal / app – by Sunday 5th November. Entry is optional.

Spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first come first serve basis. Last year there was more demand than spaces available – this year we have increased the numbers we can cater for (but numbers are still limited so we advise if interested please book quickly!)

We will be unable to accept entries after the closing date- Sunday 5th November
