Over the weekend of the 6th and 7th of November. Yorkshire fielded two teams in the first ever British Classic Challenge Championships, held at Surrey Sports Park in Guildford. Yorkshire’s Bronze team performed on Saturday to finish a credible 6th with a score of 185.700. Gymnasts in the team gave some notable performances with team member Ella Rose Johnson – Whitehead taking the Silver medal on the bars.

Congratulations to all involved.

Hopefully 2022 will see us all be able to properly resume our fantastic sport starting with grades in the spring. The new handbook will be with you shortly and the website will gradually move back to regular updates.

With caution and following strict protocol requirements from BG and the Event Venues, Yorkshire WA Gymnastics is pleased to resume competitions.

The protocols for the various events can be found on the Covid 19 Protocol Information Page. Just scroll down to find the information for the event that you are interested in.

So, we thank everyone in advance for working with us to make these events possible and most importantly wish the gymnasts the very best of luck!

Dear all,

British Gymnastics have updated their guidance following the government announcements this weekend. Clubs should have received the email however the document can also be found on BG’s Covid 19 pages (link below – log in necessary to access)

Unfortunately the current guidance is that indoor sports and therefore clubs cannot as yet reopen and that we have to be patient a little longer however they are working on the way forwards for our sport and will update when possible.
