Please diarize 15 March for the Sokkie. The perfect time for parents to drop-off the kids and have a date night. Gymnasts bring a friend! We want 100 gymnasts and friends. It does not matter if you can dance, just be part of the fun.
We are fundraising for an airstrip. Please buy the tickets beforehand. Prizes to be won. No one to young or to old for fun.
Prospective gymnasts, you are invited to our open days which will take place on the 17th, 18th and 19th of January from 15:00 to 16:30. It’s the ideal time to meet our coaches and to try out the different disciplines, Artistic (for boys and girls), Rhythmic (for girls) and Trampoline and Tumbling (for boys and girls).
