Quite simply Eva’s idea of heaven!

Lilleshall main hall

As part of the Yorkshire Elite squad, Wetherby gymnasts received an invitation to spend a whole day training at Lilleshall, the national centre for gymnastics.

The girls started the morning with a plyometric wake up call on the fast track. Followed by tucked and piked Tsukis and Yurchenkos, and finally before lunch it was backaways by the dozen!

Lunch was a picnic on the grass right outside British gymnastics head quarters. Sunshine and a refreshing breeze prepared us all for an afternoon of tumbling, fast track, beam and conditioning.

Total Gymnastics overload!

Training on equipment used by Hannah Whelan, Becky Downie, Louis Smith……………..etc.
