Family Holidays

Those of you who miss classes due to family holidays are welcome and encouraged to make up the time by attending additional classes at William Road, de Stafford or Oakwood.
Please note however that this facility is only available during school holidays. (During term time all classes are full so this facility would not be viable.)
If you would like advice as to which classes would be suitable to make up time, ask your coach or phone the office on 01342 870543.

 

Holiday Activities

During school holidays, when the special needs schools and Kindergym are not in for their classes, we offer the available time slots to our members.

Gym Jam sessions in Horley

Springfit Gym club branch in Horley have begun running "Gym Jam" drop-in sessions during the school holidays.
The gym hall at Oakwood Sports Centre is available for extra gymnastic tuition for those who wish to brush up on some moves, or simply come down for an extra fun session!
These sessions run on Thursdays from 5-6:30pm.  If you or someone you know would be interested in coming down for an extra session, you are welcome to turn up on either of the dates below for an hour and a half of extra tuition at a cost of £6.
The offer is also open to non-members aged 4 and above who may wish to try out Springfit gymnastics for the first time.
Two fully qualified gymnastic coaches will be available to help members out with any aspect of gymnastics they would like to work on, on a more personal basis, away from the structured nature of regular classes.
The next summer holiday sessions are scheduled for 24th July, 30th July, 21st August and 28th August.
Due to popular demand from parents, there will also be two sessions running on 7th and 14th August at the same cost, for adults 18 and over who wish to try out gymnastics.  Classes can be tailored to meet your needs and will use all the equipment you've been looking longingly at during children's classes.  The only requirement is to have fun!

INTER CLUBS GYMNASTICS

Members of local gymnastics clubs Pointers in Caterham and Springfit in Horley came together recently to take part in the Saturn V inter-club sports acro and tumbling competition. 
With a growing interest in the competitions came a fantastic turnout of parents and friends, keen to see who would succeed this time, out of the diverse range of ages and abilities of gymnasts. They were not disappointed, as each individual impressed everyone present.
With tumble runs from grades 2 to 6, performances were of a very high standard, and showed great improvements across the board, culminating in an impressive back somersault performed on the floor from Elite gymnast Abbie Clifton.
The Sports Acro discipline heralded similarly spectacular results, with inventive and interesting linking moves holding together routines of 10 gymnastic elements and balances. Each pair and trio performing was responsible for creating their own routines, and some themes and dance moves showed great ingenuity, with performers rewarded for their efforts with 16 medals shared between the five categories they entered at.
Pictured here are medal winners, from top left to bottom right:
Victoria Anglim, Georgina Donovan, Rachael Marklew, Georgia Banner, Amanda Gordon, Amber Clifton, Danielle Minter, Megan Entzinger, Megan Davies, Daisy Roadnight, Cecily Bateman, Katie Pidgeon, Abbie Clifton, Bethani Harrison, Molly Meese, Francesca Bagley, Chelsie Kilgannon, Hayley Walmsley.

Gymnastic Class Displays and Progress Medal Winners

Pointers and Springfit recently held gymnastic class displays for friends and parents, to showcase gymnasts’ progress throughout the year. The clubs hold displays twice a year to perform entertaining routines and highlight the new skills that children are learning in their classes
Those attending were able to delight in some fun choreographed performances to music, and some sports acrobatics routines being prepared for an upcoming competition.
Although each child was deemed to have made excellent progress in just 6 months, coaches rewarded one member of each class whom they considered to have put in the most amount of effort and made the most progress. The class displays are a great way of helping the gymnasts get used to performing for a crowd, and provides parents attending with enormous pride.
Progress medal winners from Pointers were: Zoe Burcombe, Alexis Denyer, Zara Coen and Sophie Gibbon.

The medal winners from Springfit were: Friday 5.00: Eve Walsh 6yrs, Friday 6.00: Sofia Sgambellone 7yrs, Friday 7.00: Zara Flint 7yrs, Saturday 11am: Alisha Doherty 7yrs and Saturday 12pm: Hayley Walmsley 9yrs.
Achievement certificates were also awarded to Michela Cooper & Megan Entzinger.
Pictured here is Zara Flint. Eve Walsh is also pictured on the earpiece above.
