THURSDAY SESSIONS CANCELLED 01/03/2018
Apologies but due to this evenings forecast being potentially bad we have decided to cancel classes. We wouldn’t want anyone to risk the travel or get stranded in the Gym (however fun that sounds!)
We will make a decision about tomorrow’s classes tomorrow morning.
Many thanks,
Hannah

Notices for parents:
When we get back from the half term break we will be working on Proficiency award scheme and Advanced Proficiency award scheme badges. We have a log of which badge your child is working on, however if you are new to the club and know your child has gained badges in a previous club, please let us know which level they are on.
Badge assessments will begin on the first week of term and will continue through to the second week.
Parents watching week will be running on the last week of term: Monday 26th March- Friday 30th March (Good Friday). We will aim to make our award scheme badge presentations during this week, so book it into your diaries!
Intro to… courses are a great way for you to get involved with the world of gymnastics. At the end of this course you will understand the principles of planning an event, and the various key roles that contribute to a successful delivery. You will also learn about the diverse range of exciting events that exist within gymnastics. – British Gymnastics website
This was a really productive day with Hannah tutoring an ‘Intro to Events’ course to 24 eager young leaders from Blandford Gym Club, Gryphon West Gym Club and Swanage Gymnastics. Here are our two after a busy day of learning! Well done Girls.
Hannah took a group of Gymnasts to assist her with her Level 3 coaching modules 2, 3 and 4. It was a very busy afternoon of exams and we are happy to say she passed all 3. Big thanks to all the Gymnasts who helped out.
Congratulations to Kerry for attending this years NDP National Level Tumbling held at OLGA. She performed 3 tumbles and a conditioning routine.
