We are celebrating awards week in the penultimate week of term 9th - 14th December!

​

Since September our Gymnasts have been working hard each week learning and perfecting a variety of skills across multiple pieces of apparatus. 

 

At the end of their session during awards week, Gymnasts will be presented with any certificates they have achieved this term.

​

Any gymnasts who unable to attend during awards week will still be able to collect their certificates and any medals achieved in their next class, so please don’t worry about the possibility of missing out.

How do the Pre-School certificates work?

​

Over the past term all our Gymstars have been working very hard towards our awards which have their own set of criteria. The awards are:

​

RISING STAR, SHINING STAR, SHOOTING STAR & SUPER STAR AWARDS

​

In addition to the certificates, we will also be handing out 12 trophies across the whole of our pre-school classes. These trophies have been carefully selected to award individual gymnasts who the coaches have noticed have displayed our club values consistently. Trophy winners will keep their award forever in recognition of their achievements and hard work.

We are so proud of all our little gym stars and their determination and progress during all their sessions. 

​

I would love to invite all grown ups into the gym hall for the last 10 minutes of the class to watch from the floor and see the children's smiles as they're awarded their certificates.

​

Please see the information below regarding conduct & rules when in the gym. You are most welcome to watch from the mezzanine if you have younger siblings.

​

See you soon! Eden - Head Coach, Pre-School

How do the certificates work?

​

  • The certificates are split across the four apparatus we specialise in at LWGC. These are Floor, Beam, Bars and Vault.

  • The order of the certificates is as follows:

STAR, RED, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, PURPLE, BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD AND DIAMOND.

  • Once a gymnast has completed the same colour level across all four disciplines, they will also receive a medal which has a ribbon in the colour of the award to show that they have completed everything in that colour level. 

 

The week itself:

 

We would like to invite you into the gym to watch your child's class & see them receive any certificates and medals due.

 

We will have strips of purple matting along each side of the floor where spectators are welcome to sit and watch.

 

Please remember the following if coming into the gym to spectate:

​

  • No photographs at all in the gym please. Your children will love having your full attention & we will provide a dedicated photograph area in the foyer for you to take your proud photographs after their lesson.

  • No shoes to be worn on the red or purple floor areas. 

  • NO FOOD in the gym.

  • Drinks are only to be consumed on the grey carpeted floor area that runs along the entrance to the side of the gym. 

  • Younger siblings are welcome in the gym but will need to be able to sit & watch on the purple matting, if you think this may be tricky for an hour, the mezzanine will still be available to all parents and you are most welcome to watch from upstairs.

  • Praise is encouraged always, however, please refrain from cheering or shouting to your child, as this can sometimes have an adverse effect and distract your child & others. 

 

Any gymnasts who unable to attend during awards week will still be able to collect their certificates and any medals achieved in their next class, so please don’t worry about the possibility of missing out.

 

In addition to the certificates, we will also be handing out 12 trophies across the whole of our general gymnastics classes. These trophies have been carefully selected to award individual gymnasts who the coaches have noticed have displayed our club values consistently. Trophy winners will keep their award forever in recognition of their achievements and hard work.

 

We are incredibly proud of all of our gymnasts and everything they continue to achieve; whether it’s the perfection of a complex tumbling routine or mastering their first forwards roll. We hope you will join us in celebrating them doing a sport that they love. 

 

See you all soon! 

 

Tom - Head Coach, General Gymnastics

For some, succeeding was medalling, for others succeeding was getting up in front of 100’s of people and giving it their all. The coaches were beaming with pride for each and every one ðŸ’™

Hard work, commitment, lots of fun and self belief makes for champions like these!
