The children and their families were then given a treat with a range of spectacular acrobatic and gymnastics displays from our club gymnasts. Community Coach and competition organiser Sarah Carey said “This is was MK Springers is all about, we take gymnastics to the schools and offer all these children, who only have school equipment to train on, the opportunity to compete in a fully equipped gymnastics club. They have all been awarded certificates and hopefully given an insight through the displays we put on here today on how gymnastics can develop from grass root to county, regional national and international level” As community coach I am always looking for naturally talented boys and girls and we have seen many of them perform here today”
