Springfit

As well as running regular competitions, Springfit presents members with awards throughout the year to reward progress and acknowledge proficiency in gymnastics.

The club hosts class displays twice a year to showcase the fun and skills that children are learning in their classes. Parents are invited to sit in and watch the displays, to see what their children have been learning in classes in recent months.
During these displays, a progress medal is awarded to one member of each class, to the gymnast who has shown effort, enthusiasm and commitment to progress.

Since Springfit’s inception, the following members have received Progress medals at class displays:

Fay Greene Trophy.
Springfit Club awards the coveted Fay Greene trophy every February to the gymnast who, in the eyes of the coaches, has made the most progress in the last year. It is not given to necessarily the best gymnast, but rewards those who show great enthusiasm and dedication in class.

The award is made in memory of Fay who was a talented gymnast – and later a coach – with Saturn V.
The trophy was provided by Fay’s family who wanted her name to be forever associated with gymnastics – the sport she loved.
