Local gymnastics team going to championships in Birmingham – but they need your help

24Seven Trampoline and Gymnastics asks for the community's help to attend the World Championships.

Rico Immelman and Jean-Pierre Roux will be participating in the World Age Groups Championships from November 13 to 20.

Luitha Roux, their coach, was selected as the Assistant Team Coach.

She explained they need the support of the community to go to Birmingham. She added they have started a raffle, a tuck shop, and even a golf day, however, they have not been able to raise the necessary funds.

“They are fantastic, they deserve to go,” said Luitha.

She concluded they would like to thank Bounce Inc for the opportunity to practice at their facility as the ceiling of the gym they are currently using is not high enough to practice their routines and the hall they were building for this reason hasn’t been completed due to a lack of funding.

Any person wanting to contribute can contact Luitha on 072 011 1011.
