Volunteer coaches and new coaches required

All clubs within the Saturn V association are always looking at new ways to expand and offer more classes to more people, in new areas. The only way we can do this though, is if we have the coaches to help. We are looking for anybody who is enthusiastic about gymnastics or trampoline, whether you already have coaching qualifications, are a current or ex trainer, or even a parent, and would like to learn new skills. We have high qualified coaches who are willing to help train you to coach children at all levels and abilities, and progress to go on coaching courses. Please contact Sefra on 07737 306316 or by email at pointers@saturnv.co.uk, or speak to you local manager if you or anybody you know is interested, and would like further information.

Recent Competitions

Springfit Invitational Trampoline Competition

Springfit club held another of their regular and popular invitational trampoline competitions last weekend at Moor House School in Oxted.
The superb venue saw trampolinists from various local clubs, schools, sports and leisure centres throughout Surrey compete for medals in various age and ability categories. Friends and family turned out in their droves to show support for the athletes, many of whom were performing in from of a crowd for the first time.

Redhill YMCA and Crawley’s K2 members enjoyed being part of the show, where children shared in the experience of competing at the grades they train at in their regular classes. The first half of the competition featured many different age categories of those on Grades 8 and 9 of the Winstrada proficiency scheme.

The youngsters showed great determination to perform the best routine they could for the judging panel, and overcame any nerves they had to join in the friendly spirit of the event. Proud parents watched as some surprised and delighted winners took the podium places during the medal ceremony.

The advanced section followed, with routines involving multiple somersaults from older gymnasts who train at a higher level.  There were some spectacular moves on display, and a good spirit amongst the competitors.  The synchronised section where two gymnasts perform a routine at the same time as each other was a treat to watch at all levels of competition, and the results were very close.

Pictured below are the medal winners of the earlier grades.
From top left to bottom right:
Kirsten Oshodi-Glover (11, Pointers), Hannah Malcolm (9, Pointers), Anna Hodsden (9, Anti-Gravity), Jemma Belton (7, Anti-Gravity), Rebecca Morris (9, Anti-Gravity), Sophia Dunican (9, Pointers), Alec Hambleton (9, Anti-Gravity), Hannah Wells (8, Anti-Gravity), Phoebe Munday (9, Anti-Gravity), Emilie Marsh (11, Springfit)

 

 

Springfit Invitational Beam and Trampette

Beaming gymnasts balance and bounce.

Springfit Gym Club hosted a successful competition for many children of local clubs and sports centres on Sunday 10 th July. Gymnasts came from all over Surrey to take part in the judged trampette and beam disciplines, and many spectators were on hand to show support for their efforts.

Those who the panel of judges scored highest were awarded gold, silver and bronze medals in a variety of categories based on age and training hours. There was also a bonus trophy to be won for effort in competition, for those gymnasts who clearly tried their hardest but just missed out on a placing.

Many children participating for the first time enjoyed receiving great scores along with the experience, and a trio of Donyngs gymnasts took all three spots on the podium for their beam routines.

Spectators and coaches all enjoyed the impressive display of balance from some as young as 7 years old on the beam, and were similarly enthralled with twisting somersaults and dive rolls being performed off the trampette. The beam is such a difficult piece of equipment to perform on, but every gymnast tried their very best and did fantastically well in front of the audience.

Pictured left are the trampette medal winners, from back row left to front row right:

Jack Garner (9, Pointers), Mia Fava (10, Donyngs), Rebecca Cummings (10, Springfit), Emilie Marsh (11, Springfit), Abigail Ferguson (13, Springfit), Josh Pinney (13, Springfit), Lauren Murray (13, Springfit), Anastasia Christodoulides (9, Pointers), George Jones (8, Springfit), Lucy Genge (10, Donyngs), Rosa Gilham (10, Springfit), Zara Flint (11, Springfit), Lucy Pidgeon (10, Springfit), Stacey Connor (11, Springfit), Sofia Sgambellone (10, Springfit), Elise Fry (8, Springfit), Emily Charman (15, Springfit), Katie Pidgeon (14, Springfit) and Abbie Clifton (13, Springfit).

And to the right are the six beam winners, from back row left to front row right:

Abbie James (9, Springfit), Anastasia Christodoulides (9, Pointers), Laura Elliott (10, Donyngs), Mia Fava (10, Donyngs), Lucy Genge (10, Donyngs), Francesca Bagley (13, Springfit), Isobel Ferguson (7, Springfit), Abbie Clifton (13, Springfit), Lily Fairhall (13, Pointers), Millie Gibbins (9, Pointers) and Rachael Marklew (15, Springfit).

Pointers Club Display

Pointers Club display was held on Sunday 17th July 2011, at Warlingham School.

The day was successful and enjoyed by everyone.
