confidence to work independently as well
as collaboratively within a team.

to a standard where they can compete at
both local and international levels.

Two teams subsequently qualified for the Mezzo finals which will be held in October 2025. All 50 AGS gymnasts also competed in their at home club championships demonstrating their hard work and beautiful gymnastics. We had our annual gala, which is always a good source of fundraising and enjoyed by gymnasts, parents and coaches alike. We are now busy preparing the 2026 Gala with the theme of Space. We have also started a Saturday morning tuck shop which is being welcomed by the parents of our minis wh0 get to the gym very early on a Saturday morning, they can now enjoy a warm drink & sweet treat. Waterside gym club also realise the importance of coach involvement and development and pay for all necessary training courses. During the year we have put through 8 level 1 coaches in both Team Gym and Artistic. We also have 2 coaches booked on a level 2 course . We are also actively looking for new qualified coaches and parents to join our bank of parent helpers as the club cannot survive without this support. We have started to appoint assistant heads to help run the sessions and help the head coaches by taking some of the pressure off. All coaches are also required to complete regular safeguarding courses and have a valid DBS in order to ensure not only the physical safety of the children involved but also their personal and mental well-being.** ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
