Trampolinists qualify for SA Games

With only eight places available per category, the competition was intense and final marks were separated by small margins.

Trampoline gymnasts of the Edenvale-based Gym Masters Gymnasts and Masters Gymnasts Clubs took part in the North Zone Trampoline Championships on September 11 and 12 in Pretoria.

The competition brought together the best trampolinists from Gauteng, North West, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Free State provinces in a bid to qualify for the South African Gymnastics Games.

With only eight places available per category, the competition was intense and final marks were separated by small margins. Most of the trampolinists competed on both the Double-Mini and Euro trampoline events in various levels and age groups.

A total of 24 gymnasts qualified from the local club and will be competing in a total of 37 events in the various categories at the SA Games.

The gymnasts train at the Highway Gardens Community Centre and are coached by the Demianenko family and assisted by Ms Michelle Sharples and Ms Sarah Tyler at the Highway Gardens Community Centre.
