Eastern Cape Squad session (21 April)A couple of our gymnasts were invited for the Eastern Cape Squad training in Port Elizabeth. It is great to train on a tumbling track and a real trampoline, we don't have those apparatus. Being invited for the squad trials is a great honour, it means they see potential for international level gymnastics. |

TrainingTraining has started for the new year. We received new landing mats from the Department of Sport. Very helpful as our old landing mats are falling apart from intensive use and weather. It is not good for the equipment to do gymnastics outdoors. Our level of gymnastics is too high for our equipment. We have a good quality black top trampoline, but that is a beginners level trampoline. We don't have a eurotramp to further progress with our experienced gymnasts. Our double mini trampoline is for experienced gymnasts, but second hand and not in a good condition. We don't have a tumbling track, what makes it difficult to progress beyond beginners level. We hope to find funding for a gymnastics hall and good equipment. So long we'll have to make the best out of the limited facilities we can offer our gymnasts. |
