Coaches Corner: A message from our Head Coach
Hello everyone! I have now been at Southport Gymnastics for just over 6 months, and have enjoyed getting to know all of the Southport staff, gymnasts and parents.
With a change to the warm up and strength structure throughout the levels, there have already been improvements in the program’s overall quality and performance. This will be a continuous process of improvements to achieve a high standard of skills and basics amongst our gymnasts.
Senior competition season was a success with some wonderful results and athletes making the podium on various events. I now look forward to seeing how our Junior athletes perform in their upcoming competitions and wish them the best of luck.
