gym club

Well done to all our ‘Little Stars’ who participated in this year’s Hampshire Conditioning League, which was held at Xcel’s gym in Portsmouth over five rounds.   We hope this gave the girls a good introduction to competitions. Amy, Brooke, Tilly Daisy, Elise and Charlotte participated in the final round on Saturday.   The girls all did really well and produced one of our strongest scores yet. Jo Henden, Head Coach was unable to travel to Havant for this round but was in touch all afternoon and saw the results as soon as Gil got back to Fleet, she was thrilled! Well done girls J

We held our Summer Show on Saturday 5 th July in front of a packed audience.    Most of Aspire’s gymnasts took part – right from the pre-schoolers to the older advanced gymnasts. Jo Henden, Head Coach, said:  “The show as a great success!  Many thanks to our amazing gymnasts for putting on such a fabulous display and to our wonderful coaches and volunteers for all their hard work without which the show could not have happened.  The show was also a great thank you to all the mums and dads, relations and friends who support their child’s gymnastic dreams.”   The photo is of Lara Trott jumping over 10 gymnasts!    

Aspire Cup - Zoe for working hard at all times, listening very well and always concentrating throughout the sessions. She asks for exercises to do at home and works hard at stretching. She seeks helps to improve her skills. Frogmore Cup Sophie for always listening, trying hard and having a smile on her face. She obviously enjoys her gymnastics! Yateley Cup Dylan for trying hard to stay focused   and listening to his coaches. He is beginning to work independently

The Tesco store in Hook was extremely generous when we asked them to help the club by donating thank you gifts for our Young Leaders - Heidi, Amy ,Isobel and Grace.   The girls received these at our Summer Show on Saturday.   Tesco also helped by donating two beautiful bouquets of flowers for our adult volunteers, picture below.  

Just a year ago Heidi was the star turn at our First Summer Show. She managed to dive roll over eight other gymnasts, then she decided to give up gymnastics and try some other sports. However within a few months she realised that she was missing gymnastics and asked to return as a voluntary trainee coach. She has been helping at Women’s Artistic training on Saturdays. British Gymnastics (BG) does not allow under 14’s to become qualified coaches. Recently Heidi had her 14th birthday and she attended a course on Sunday 29 th June 2014 gaining an Award Scheme Coaching (ASC) Award. She is now qualified to coach all the skills covered in the BG Core Proficiency badges. She will have to wait until she is 16 to move to the next level. Jo, our Head Coach, said, "Aspire Gymnastics is very pleased to have her as a Young Leader and a member of our coaching team". Well done Heidi J
