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. Both have been in the club for a number of years, working their way up from recreational squads to where […]

Gymnast of the month for April? How could we pick? April was such a busy month for our gymnasts, and with April hosting the biggest competition of the year, the World Acrobatic Championships we thought it was only right to recognise the achievements once again. We could have picked any of the 21 gymnasts that […]

So last week more of our Spelthorne Superstars were in Belgium to take their turn on the floor. Our 12-18, 13-19 and Senior gymnasts competed at the World Championships. For most of them it was their first time at Worlds, so a huge achievement to have been picked to represent team GB. But an even […]

What did you want to be when you were a child? A teacher, Doctor or Actor maybe? I bet none of you said I want to be an Acrobatic World Champion, especially with Acrobatics not receiving the recognition other disciplines receive, it would be hard to imagine. I bet our gymnasts did not imagine this […]

So somehow Easter is here, and we thought how better to celebrate than with a competition? Everyone enjoyed getting involved last summer and at Christmas so we thought we would challenge you all again. Recently some of our gymnasts attended GymFusion in London, a huge event that sees gymnasts from clubs up and down the […]

It has been a busy March, our gymnasts working as hard as ever, but we did manage to choose a gymnast of the month for March. With so many competitions happening both acro and tumbling, parent viewing, badge testing and displays it was difficult to choose a gymnast. The gymnast chosen is extremely dedicated, both […]

So, we are moving away briefly from acro to our tumbling team! Spelthorne’s tumblers headed to Kent on Sunday for their turn to try and nab a spot on the tumble team and for Finals. We had over 30 gymnasts complete their tumble passes at club and national level. With only one pass of each […]

So, a few weeks ago we gave you all the news and results from the first National Qualifier, a great success for the gymnasts and coaches! This week we are bringing you the inside scoop on everything from the second National Qualifier, which took place last weekend.  We were very lucky to have Paul Watts […]

We all love feeling part of big events, being in on the action and there to support, but for those of you that couldn’t make it to Portugal, we are bringing Portugal to you through photography! We aren’t holding back either… take your pick – there are plenty of shots to choose from 🙂 Thank […]

It is March, although this weather may not agree? Despite all the snow our gymnasts made it to Maia, just about! Maia Acro Cup is one of our favourite internationals of the year, we love it because we can send a variety of our squads – from grades to elite. A nice atmosphere for the […]
