Local trampoliners qualify for SA Gymnastics Games
Trampoline gymnasts from the Edenvale-based Gym Masters Gymnasts and Masters Gymnasts Clubs recently participated at the Central Circle Trampoline Championships.
The competition was a qualifying event for the South African Gymnastics Games.
Only six gymnasts were chosen from each category to represent Eastern Gauteng at the main annual event.
A large number of the clubs’ gymnasts qualified for the SA Games, accounting for almost a third of the entire team selected from the various regions represented.
Trampoliners competed in a variety of mini, double-mini and euro trampoline events.
Many of the gymnasts competed in a combination of two trampolines, and in various levels and age groups.
The gymnasts train at the Highway Gardens Community Centre and are coached by the Demianenko family. They are assisted by Michelle Sharples at the Highway Gardens Community Centre.
The South African Gymnastic Games started on September 23 and end on September 27.
