Local trampolinists win at regional championship
The competition, which took place in Kibler Park, served as a qualifying competition in the trampolinists’ bid to progress to the Provincial Championship.
Trampoline gymnasts from the Edenvale-based Gym Masters Gymnasts and Masters Gymnasts Clubs took part in the Eastern Gauteng Regional Trampoline Championships on July 25.
The competition, which took place in Kibler Park, served as a qualifying competition in the trampolinists’ bid to progress to the Provincial Championship.
Trampoliners competed in a variety of Double-Mini and Euro trampoline events. Many of the gymnasts competed in a combination of two trampolines, in various levels and age groups. Once again, the clubs’ gymnasts made up one of the biggest teams at the competition.
The competitors who qualified will take part in the Gauteng Provincial Trampoline Championship late in August. This will be another step in their qualification to the South African Gymnastic Games, which will take place in October later this year.
The gymnasts train at the Highway Gardens Community Centre. They are coached by the Demianenko family and assisted by Ms Michelle Sharples, Ms Sarah Tyler and Ms Chloe Metcalfe at the Highway Gardens Community Centre.
