Well done to all 14 of our gymnasts who competed in the second round of the club and challenge cup competition. This is the highest number of gymnasts we have ever had enter this competition.

We had a great day with everyone doing their best and many enjoying their first competition. Here are the results:
Novice Boys – Orin 1st, Oliver 2nd
Novice Girls – Eleanor 7th, Daisy 9th, Yajna 11th, Izzy 12th, Fleur 15th
Club level 2 – Riley 1st, Nyla 2nd
Regional Level 1 – 13-17 years – Sam 3rd, Edward 4th
Regional Level 1 – 9-12 years – Jack 3rd
Regional Level 2 – Amelia 6th
Regional Level 3 – Teodor 3rd

Seven of our gymnasts qualified at the Regional School’s competition in December 2023 to go through to the next round, the Zonal School’s. This is the highest number of gymnasts Soar Valley has ever had qualify for the zonal round. The qualifiers are Amelia, Jack, Edward, Riley, Isabelle, Sam, and Sophie.

Following our successful fundraising campaign, we have now placed our order for the new Ultimate trampoline! We have to contain our excitement a little longer as the delivery date is the end of May, but it will be worth the wait. We were also able to purchase the end-deck to go with it which was great news.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible, including local charitable trusts, Samworth Brothers Sports Opportunities fund, Sport England and all our friends, family, club members and committee members.

Well done to Edward for qualifying for the national schools final. The final took place on 18th March and Edward completed both his routines to finish in a very creditable 11th place, in a very strong field.

The club had 5 gymnasts competing at the Central Zone Schools competition on 29th January – Edward Beale (4th), Roeshia Claxton (7th), Rosie Durrance (8th), Lucy Triggs (8th) and Chloe Billam (14th).

Edward finished in a fantastic 4th place in a field of 11 boys, therefore qualifying for the National Schools Final in March. It’s the second year in succession that Edward has qualified at this level, and this time in the Intermediate grade. Well done to Edward and all the other gymnasts.

We’ve reached our Crowdfunding target with 4 days left to go! We will soon be able to buy our new trampoline – how fantastic

Our Crowdfunding campaign is half way through and we have raised £4337. This is fantastic! Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far.

We need to press on now and achieve the full £5000, otherwise we will lose the Sport England pledge of £2500. Please help us if you can, by donating using the link on our home page – we’re almost there
