Recent Competitions

Springfit Invitational Trampoline Competition

The latest Springfit Invitational trampoline competition brought joy to many children and their parents on Saturday 5th March at Moor House School Sports Centre in Oxted. The superb venue saw trampolinists from various local clubs and schools throughout Surrey compete for medals in various age and ability categories, with their friends and family enjoying the spectacle from the viewing balcony.

There were a record number of first-time competitors entering at Grade 8 of the Winstrada proficiency scheme, and organisers extended the duration of the event to accommodate those keen children.  The youngsters showed great spirit and determination to perform the best routine they could for the judging panel, and overcame any nerves they had by enjoying the friendly spirit of the event.  Proud parents witnessed a medal ceremony to remember, with some surprised and delighted winners taking the podium places.

The advanced section followed, with routines involving multiple somersaults from older gymnasts who have previously competed at the lower levels.  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 delight to watch, and the results were very close.

Pictured left are the medal winners of the earlier grades and advanced sections.
From top left to bottom right of the entry-level grades:
Alex Noone (10, Pointers), (Becca Morris 8, Anti-Gravity), Megan Balcombe (9, Pointers), Eleanor Lewis (13, Anti-Gravity), Annabelle Palmer (9, Pointers), Katie Sweeney (9, Pointers), Ella Price (8, Anti-Gravity), Jemma Belton (6, Anti-Gravity), Emily Marsh (10, Springfit), Amy Hodgetts (8, Anti-Gravity) and Piya Shah (9, Anti-Gravity).

Pointers Invitational Acrobatic and Tumbling Competition

Gymnasts tumbled into action at the Pointers Invitational Tumbling and Acrobatic competition on Sunday 13 th March. The competition took place at de Stafford Sports Centre, Caterham, home on the Pointers Gymnastics and Trampoline Club.

There was a large turnout of gymnasts with friends and families who waited excitedly for their child to perform. The competition consisted of two disciplines, first being tumbling starting with novice grades of forward rolls, to the advanced grades of front somersaults, and then with some very diverse and well performed acrobatic performances to finish off the competition. Acrobatics is a discipline which uses no apparatus but only the strength and trust of each other to balance, performed to music with entertaining dance moves linking elements.

The audience were delighted to see the efforts of the gymnasts and the Judges were very impressed with the steady progression of strength and flexibility the gymnasts showed in their tumbles and well choreographed acrobatic pair and trio routines.

Pictured left are the tumbling medal winners (from top left to bottom right):
Emily Charman (14, Springfit), Hayley Walmsley (11, Springfit),  Shai Holland (14, Springfit), Katie Pidgeon (13, Springfit), Abbie Clifton (12, Springfit), Daisy Roadnight (12, Pointers), Lucy Phipps (12, Pointers), Francesca Bagley (12, Springfit), Sarah Charman (10, Springfit), Lily Fairhall (12, Pointers), Kieran Hart (7, Springfit), Liam Arnold (7, Springfit), Kaitlyn Galvin (10, Pointers), Zara Coen (10, Pointers) and Becky Barker (9, Pointers)
