The first Yorkshire WA Squad took place on the 24th March and kicked off with excellent attendance and a fantastic attitude.
We welcomed Paddy Lavelle to the county with Yorkshire hospitality and a willingness to benefit from the expertise which has produced the first British European and World Champion in tumbling. Paddy serves as the tumbling representative for British Gymnastics.
Paddy spent time with each group of gymnasts in turn, working on technique and building blocks. His enthusiasm as well as his expertise was inspiring. When not working with Paddy the gymnasts worked on the apparatus and with grades approaching this was clearly the focus for gymnasts and coaches alike.
As this was the first session of 2019 the gymnasts received their log books and spent some time at the end of the session to note down what was learnt and to get to know each other a little better. An enjoyable and enthusiastic start to the Yorkshire WA 2019 Squad Programme. Well done to all involved and a big thank you to Paddy for kicking the year off in style, we hope you will come back to see us again in the future and see the fruits of your input.
