Abigail has also been invited to be a part of the South African team travelling to Mauritius in February, next year, for the SA Tumbling and Trampoline Cup.
“This is a great honour and privilege and she is obviously very excited,” said the girls’ mother, Melissa.
“This will be her first trip overseas and of course we have to take her little sister along even though she is not competing herself.”
The girls remain dedicated and work very hard.
They practise up to four times a week.
“They still love what they do and we support them all way,” said Melissa.
“Their little brother, Rylan (4), will be joining them shortly and he is very excited.”
