This day ended up being so much more than ‘just’ a trial, it was a Yorkshire event in itself. 18 clubs and 121 gymnasts passed through the process and did so with style, enthusiasm and teamwork. Whenever Yorkshire gymnasts, coaches and clubs come together, be it for clinics, workshops, competitions, YES or in this case a squad trial the atmosphere is phenomenal.
The squad selection will be announced shortly but this is a moment to recognise the triallists one and all, whether this year they secured a place or not. The energy, enthusiasm and sheer joy in gymnastics was overwhelmingly evident.
If this year you weren’t successful don’t let that put you off, we look forward to seeing you next year to have another go. Well done to everyone who gave it a try!
The first YES training session of 2019 went ahead on Sunday the 10th of February at TSV gymnastics.
8 clubs signed up for the event with over 30 gymnasts taking part, 16 coaches with gymnasts and another coach / judge as well as a club judge who had signed up for an opportunity to practice.
Every club had ownership of part of the warm up to get things going and meaning the gymnasts themselves led from the beginning. They quickly understood this was their session and stepped up to show their comrades from other clubs how to do their part.
5 rotations, Vault, Bars, Beam, Floor and Conditioning. Everywhere you turned there were gymnasts trying different techniques and coaches helping each other. The YES principle through and through.
A fantastic flying start to Yorkshire WAG’s year, well done to everyone who took part and thank you for yet again making YES a success! I look forward to seeing you all at the next one.
Getting things going……
Lift off to Yes 2019!
All ages working hard……
Focussed coaches, focussed gymnasts.
Even the Yorkshire WAG Squad Director can’t help but get in on the act!
