THERE was exciting news for Barry YMCA gymnast Hana Davies when she found out she was one of only eight gymnasts aged seven from across Wales who was selected into the Welsh Gymnastics Development squad.
Following attendance at a trial where they tested her strength, flexibility and skills, Hana gained selection and will now attend monthly training sessions with the National coaches at the National Training Centre in Cardiff.
Congratulations Hana and coach Sophie Erickson.
Do you think your daughter has the ability to take part in competitive gymnastics? Does she show the physical ability to become the next Beth Tweddle?
Barry YMCA Gymnastics Club are holding a Talent Identification session on May 27, from 10 am to noon for girls born in the years 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. Their highly qualified coaches will be testing the children's strength, flexibility and co-ordination.
Those children who show the potential will have the opportunity to feed into their Mini Prep competitive section groups. For those children who are not selected for the Mini Prep competitive group following this open day they will have the opportunity to feed into the other gymnastics sessions at the club.
To book a space at the Talent Identification session please either message their Facebook page facebook.co.uk/ymcabarry or call 01446 724001 and provide your daughters details.
