Celebrating Our First In-House Gymnastics Competition!
Wow! What an incredible experience we had last week with our very first in-house gymnastics competition at the Pymble Artistic Gymnastics Centre. Over two action-packed days (Thursday and Friday), every competitive gymnast from Levels 3 to 9 was invited to compete, show their skills, and most importantly, have fun.
Each gymnast gave it their all, delivering fantastic performances and displaying true sportsmanship. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and a touch of competitive spirit, despite a few nerves — and even a couple of tumbles! It was wonderful to see everyone supporting each other and using this opportunity to practise in a friendly, encouraging environment. As the competition season varies for each group — Levels 8 and 9 have already competed at State Championships and are in peak competition form, while Levels 3 to 7 are gearing up for their trials in Term 3 — a few butterflies and moments of “competition rustiness” were only to be expected. What better place to work off the nerves than right here at home?
All the coaches are incredibly proud of our gymnasts — your commitment, courage, and progress have truly impressed us. Watching you support one another and rise to the challenge was inspiring for everyone involved.
Thank you to the parents who bravely faced the chilly weather, bundled up and cheering on our gymnasts. Your support means so much and truly adds to the positive energy in the gym.
At the conclusion of each day, apparatus awards were presented within each squad, celebrating first, second, and third places — a well-deserved recognition of individual achievements. This week, we look forward to announcing the All-Around winners for each level and celebrating their outstanding efforts.
Congratulations to every gymnast who took part. We are so proud of your courage, commitment, and wonderful performances. Here’s to many more exciting competitions and continued progress!se!
We are so proud of all our gymnasts — your hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship continue to inspire us all. Congratulations on your incredible achievements and good luck to those heading to nationals!
