Isabelle Eason competed to a high standard at Level 1 in the 3 regional Challenge Cup competitions, and achieved second place overall to secure her place at the national finals. This is a fantastic achievement and one which Isabelle will relish, as she also qualified 2 years ago but was unable to compete due to the pandemic.

Amelia Durrance competed at Level 2 and improved her routines throughout the 3 competitions to finish in 4th place overall and qualify as second reserve.

Both girls now have the opportunity to take part in 2 regional squad training sessions with other qualifiers. This is a great opportunity for their development.

The national challenge cup final takes place on Saturday 3rd September 2022 at the English Institute for Sport, Sheffield.

Isabelle Eason, Edward Beale and Chloe Billam all qualified for the National Schools Finals in March this year. This is the highest number of gymnasts to qualify from Soar Valley in one year. The gymnasts had to qualify through both regional and zonal rounds to reach the national finals.

The finals competition took us to The Kings School in Macclesfield. In the Years 1-6 boy’s Novice event Edward competed brilliantly and finished in second place. In the Years 1-6 girl’s Novice event Isabelle also competed brilliantly and finished third in a very strong field. Chloe, in her first year of competitions was thrilled to be competing and soaked up the atmosphere. She completed all her routines cleanly to finish in 13th place.

I am delighted to say that we will be returning to trampolining at Soar Valley College from Monday 12th April 2021! All classes will run on the days and times as before. Social distancing and hand hygiene practices will be in place, as per British Gymnastics and government guidelines. Our Covid-19 risk assessment can be found below.
If your child is already a member and you haven’t received an email, please get in touch with me straight away to secure your place.

Unfortunately, our plans to re-open in September did not come to fruition.
Soar Valley College are not taking any community bookings at the present time due to the coronavirus pandemic, so we are unable to start our sessions again yet.

As soon as this changes, members will be informed.

If you wish to join the club, please contact me to add your name to the waiting list once we open again. My email address is aandnlewis@gmail.com

To reduce our boredom during lock-down, last week we had a ‘design a leotard’ competition. We had some fantastic entries with great colours and designs. Emilie was the winner and here is her design, note the sparkles on the front – well done Emilie!

After qualifying through the regional and zonal rounds of the British Schools competition, finishing 3rd and 1st respectively, Isabelle qualified to compete in the National Finals. These were held in Eastleigh on 14th March 2020. Isabelle completed 2 clean routines to finish in a fantastic 4th place, narrowly missing out on the medals. What an achievement in her first year competing in the schools competition!

Happy New Year from all of us at Soar Valley Trampoline Club!

Our next competitions are coming up soon – the regional NDP pre-qualifiers on 26th January and 9th February. Watch this space for results and good luck to everyone competing!

A massive congrats to Rosie and Isabelle for qualifying for the Leicestershire County Squad for 2020. After impressing the judges and achieving scores over 8.0 they will both be participating in the county training sessions early next year. These sessions will be taught by some of the most experienced coaches in our county, including the potential to be coached by none other than Team BG’s Olympic coach Paul Greaves!
