Every year, we aim to provide at least one opportunity for your child to participate in our Club Competition. This means that they will learn routines to perform at an event where parents and extended family can come along to watch.

 

The children typically perform a floor routine, 2 vaults and one additional routine such as Range and Conditioning or Beam. This year we are planning on including a Bar routine, which we have never done before. It is always an enjoyable, exciting event and the children, even the nervous competitors, always enjoy the day. We also use it as a talent identification process, to select children for our advanced groups who are preparing to represent the club at external events. 

​

You will need to register and pay for the event about 6 weeks before, which gives us time to schedule the day and group the children according to their age at the date of the competition. They compete against every child in the club that is the same age as them for the overall 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, with all other participants receiving runner up medals. There are also awards for the highest scores on each apparatus (subject to a minimum of 8 gymnasts in the age category)

​

The event is judged according to both the difficulty of what they perform as well as how neatly it is executed. This is scored by our experienced judges who have a wealth of knowledge about gymnastics. Safety and good execution of the skills is marked more favourably than attempting moves that are going to lose more marks. 

​

There will also be a tuck shop and club merchandise available to purchase.
