Club competition 2024
The annual club competition is back this summer, and with an added layer as we invite the development and squad gymnasts to compete, as well as our recreational gymnasts.
When and where is the competition?The competition will run on Sunday 7th July at our usual venue. At this stage we can't confirm the exact timings as this is based on the number of gymnasts taking part. Once the closing date passes, we'll finalise the programme and share it with you all.
Why should we enter the competition?We encourage every gymnast to participate in our annual club competition. We provide a fun, friendly and encouraging competition arena, whereby we give gymnasts as young as 5 the chance to be able to take part in a competition to feel a sense of achievement. We celebrate everyone's achievements, however big or small. Competitions also bring the gymnasts closer together, as they often encourage their team mates, and it's a thoroughly enjoyable experience for each and every person.
What will gymnasts be competing on?All gymnasts will take part in a floor routine, a beam routine and a vault. Routines are listed here along with a video showing how gymnasts should look.
How to enterPlease use the entry form. If you have more than one gymnast, please complete it once for each gymnast.

Once you have completed the online form, an invoice will be raised for the entry fee which is due by 7th June 2024, however you do not need to wait to make your payment.
