So this summer we asked to see all of your photos and videos of how you were spending your summer, in particular how you were practicing gymnastics. Last year the trend was the handstand challenge, which seemed to be a continuing theme this year. However, who had the coolest handstand picture? There were so many […]

Gymnastics for some is not just a hobby, but if chosen it can be a career, or at least a path to a future career. Many of our gymnasts go on to be helpers within the club or within the sport, but some take it further and gain coaching qualifications. There are so many options […]

After what seemed like a long wait since qualifiers, our team of 12 Spelthorne Acrobats headed to Stoke last month to try and better […]

May was the month of national finals for many of our gymnasts, and such great results had by all. We decided to recognise the achievement of one partnership in particular, two young gymnasts who are thriving.
