25.01.2022 Giving 100% at training everyday can be difficult and we are hoping that our newest motivation quote and question of the month will help to remind you that every training is important and you should always have goal for each session. No matter how small or big, walking away with a sense of accomplishment after each session helps keep the motivation high! November. Quote "What doesn't challenge you, doesn't change you"... Question "What is your goal/s for this training session?" These will be a fixture of the Whiteboard at the back of the gym to help remind to always train with purpose and remember that gymnastics is one of the hardest sports in the world so when things get tough, you have two choices, keep going or keep going :)

20.01.2022 Message from Principal Louise What an exciting day it was yesterday when we re-opened our classes with some our WAG Team girls joining us for their first lesson back in the gym. Everyone has done their homework and followed all the new procedures so very well. Thank you gymnasts and parents for your support of these processes to keep everyone safe. It was wonderful to see everyone’s smiling but nervous faces back at the gym and the coaches excitement was equal to the g...ymnasts. Let’s hope there is not too many sore muscles as a result and our online training programs have helped in this regard. It is the boys turn today! The excitement continues Just a reminder our once a week program commence from after the upcoming school holidays and information will be sent in a few weeks’ time. We will be trying to keep to our pre-closure schedules but this will depend on class numbers and any further restrictions. There is finally light at the end of the tunnel! Enjoy your week everybody

17.01.2022 Wednesday and Thursday saw Ewan, Lachlan, Padaric and Stuart participate in the Team Future Clinic at Chandler. This clinic was selection based for level 5 under, 6 Under and 7 Under. It was a fantastic learning experience for all the boys and myself! Each session ran for 3.5hrs with two of the high performances coaches. New techniques, skills and drills were learnt while honing in on the fundamentals of what makes an elite gymnast. I was extremely proud of their efforts and the way they gave everything a go and I dare say have a new found determination to excel in this awesome sport.
