I am thrilled to announce that for the first time in the club’s history

 Wetherby gymnasts achieved Alpha Factor team gold.

537 gymnasts from all over Great Britain and the USA competed in this prestigious 3 day event.

The club was represented by 7 gymnasts at level 4.

   

For 3 of the level 4 gymnasts it was their first alpha factor experience and below is what they thought of the event

 

The level 3 gymnasts started their competition on beam. Performing somersaults on the beam for the first time and sticking them!. Having controlled their adrenaline on the first piece the girls continued to perform with style and confidence.

Achieving the following individual results:

Ellie Clark – Level 3 senior overall champion

Megan Parsley – 5th place overall.

Lee Beecher – 6th place overall.

Olivia competed clean routines on all apparatus despite a badly bruised foot and Alex contributed top scores on Bars and Floor.

At the end of the event the girls were announced as Level 3 Alpha Factor team champions and were presented on the podium with gold medals.

.

Louise Akers represented Wetherby in the level 2 in-age competition. Louise also stuck her first somersault on beam to achieve 3rd place overall.

 

and finally…………

On behalf of Wetherby gymnastics club I would like to thank Sharon Parrett.

Sharon achieve the following individual results:

22 hours of judging,

Drove 484 miles

and Deducted 3  “E” graded somersaults

(double straight, full in back out and double arabian)

Without your dedication 13 Wetherby gymnasts would not have had the opportunity to

“be there and get the green t-shirt”

 Thank you

 

Quite simply Eva’s idea of heaven!

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.

 

 

 

 

Mastering new skills and refining techniques together.

 

 

                     Memories that will last a life time.

 

The gym is shut for all gymnasts on Monday 4th August and Wednesday 6th August.

The school are repairing the lights in the gym.

If you need an extra workout……

The club would love your support with this heavy duty matter 🙂
