Springfit Leotards

Springfit gymnastics and trampoline club at recently held sit-in sessions for parents of class members at Oakwood Sports Centre, Horley.

The sit-in sessions are arranged twice a year to showcase gymnasts’ progress and perform routines for spectators’ entertainment. New skills that children are learning in their classes were highlighted with individual moves performed and group routines also showcased.

Those attending were delighted to see the show their children put on, and enjoyed the dynamics provided by the coaches of each class.

Each and every child was recognised for their excellent progress made in just 6 months, and coaches rewarded one member of each class with a progress medal, to the child they considered to have shown the most effort and enthusiasm for gymnastics. The class displays are a fantastic way of helping the gymnasts get used to performing for a crowd, and provides the parents in attendance with a great deal of pride.

Pictured here from left to right are all the progress medal winners for this month at Springfit club: Zoe Smith (7), Louison-Yves Dubois-Keen (7), Michela Cooper (13), Chloe Lawrence (8) and Annabel Telfer (8).

Amber Clifton

13 year old Amber Clifton from Horley has been awarded the annual Springfit Elite trophy for her exemplary performances throughout 2008.

The trophy was first awarded last year by departing Elite class founder Stacey Rodd and stands for achievements in flexibility, strength, attitude and performance.

Amber has competed at every major event Springfit club has attended, winning many medals, and has shown enormous levels of motivation and ambition in gymnastics. The Elite class has continued to provide further hours of training to members through invitation by Head Coaches from advanced classes.

Amber was especially proud to have been chosen from the small class of Elite individuals, and has declared her intention to continue showing the attitude towards attainment that has helped her get to the level that she is today.

10 year old Abbie Clifton from Horley has been awarded the coveted “Fay Greene Award for Progress in Gymnastics” trophy for her outstanding achievements throughout the last year.

The trophy is awarded annually by Springfit Gymnastics and Trampolining club to the gymnast who, in the opinion of the coaches, has made the most progress in the previous 12 months.

The award has been well deserved for Abbie who has shown great enthusiasm for the sport, and has gained many new moves in the last year. Training only 3 hours a week, Abbie has been able to achieve back and front somersaults on the floor, and is keen to improve her acrobatic abilities along with vaulting technique.

Abbie said of her achievement: “It’s really great to finally get the trophy. I really enjoy gymnastics, and now I can see my name on the cup alongside all the other great gymnasts at the club.”

Here Abbie is pictured receiving the trophy in front of her peers during her Friday 7pm gym class:
