Summer Training Camp

Posted on

It’s been a busy week or so for the club. 3 coaches attending Level 3 modules and 1 attending Level 2 course at the McTaggart Sports Centre in Dundee – long overdue courses!
Some of our gymnasts who are competing next month spent 3 days training at Garioch Gymnastics Club so they could practise their floor routines on a sprung floor before competing! All gymnasts improved skills and all now completed handspring front tuck somersault floor skills. Another successful trip.
Thank you so much to Garioch GC for allowing us time in your gym, to Northlink Ferries for their continued sponsorship, to Shetland Community Benefit Fund for the funding to allow our gymnasts to train in a purpose built facility and to Bolts Minibus hire as well as the parents and gymnasts who make our trips so enjoyable.

Easter Training Trip

Posted on

A group of gymnasts had a chance to travel south this week to train on equipment desperately needed in Shetland. After one hour training session the upgrades on skills started coming. By the end of day 3 all gymnasts have achieved upgrades, especially on vault and bars using the foam pits for safe landings which takes away the fear of trying the skills. It’s such a shame that our gymnasts are being held back greatly without access to the correct training equipment. We really need a new facility! if you haven’t done so already please have a look at our Fundraising page and find out how you can help
