Gymstars Training at St Joseph's
Gymstars Training is well underway with our competition date duroing Week 6 of this term. There will be NO TRAINING THIS FRIDAY due to Mrs Todd being on Long Service Leave, but will resume in Week 2.
All participants were given their own copy of the routine manuals to practise over the holidays and will be expected to know all 6 routines for the Gymstars competition:
- beam OR parallel bars
- floor
- acrobatics
- bars
- rings
- safety
vault
We will then have three weeks to polish these routines with each student. Special thanks to all of the parent helpers who volunteer their time each Friday to these training sessions.
