Virtual Holiday Camp

The Tamworth Gymnastic Club Virtual Holiday Camp is a 5-day program of live Zoom training sessions with some of the best presenters in the country! The sessions will run from Monday 20th – Friday 24th September from 9am – 11am AEST each day. The sessions are open to WAG Level 3 and above gymnasts currently registered with Gymnastics Australia, and to coaches who are registered with Gymnastics Australia and hold a current Working with Children accreditation.

The cost is $100 for the week. However there are discounts if we get more than 10 gymnasts entered. Once entries close gymnasts will be invoiced. We can also use credits from Country Championships and Regional Championships for gymnasts entry fee. CWG will not be running any zoom sessions during the holidays so this is a great oppurtunity for our gymnasts to keep training!

We are so lucky to have the most amazing line up of presenters – including 4 Olympians!

Monday 20th September • Joshua Fabian - Vault Drills (thinking outside the box) • Steph Magiros OLY - Yoga for Gymnasts

Tuesday 21st September • Dave Tilley - Superstar Strength and Conditioning • Emily Abbot OLY - Olympian Flexibility and Hand-Eye Coordination

Wednesday 22nd September • Emily Whitehead OLY - Bars Drills with an Olympian • Becky Borchard - Beam Complex (but not as you know it!)

Thursday 23rd September • Stacey Umeh - Dance Party Expression Session • Maddi Lacey & Caitlin O'Neill - World Class Handstands and Balances

Friday 24th September • Olivia Vivian OLY - Ninja's at Home! • Jordan Wong - FriYay Hip Hop Hooray!
