Gymnastics Drumline past the tunnel of cheering supporters gives the boys a huge lift prior to the competition. The first apparatus for our boys was Parallel Bars where Christian Behn-Katz and Tom Pereira placed fourth and fifth. The next apparatus was the exciting High Bar. Our highest-placed boys were Taylor Moss and Sam Schukin. On Floor Taylor Moss and Christian Behn-Katz finished fifth and sixth with steady routines. The next apparatus was the difficult Pommel Horse. Unfortunately, the boys struggled with their routines, with Tom Pereira the highest placed of our team. Next up was Rings. On this apparatus Tom Pereira performed the very difficult Maltese Cross to finish fifth. Christian Behn-Katz finished sixth with a steady routine. The last apparatus of the day was Vault, where both Christian Behn-Katz and Fin Kroon finished in the top 5 with difficult vaults. Our Senior Team performed with improvements throughout the competition to finish a credible second behind Brisbane Grammar. THE JIM YOUNG CUP (OVERALL TEAM)
The Southport School finished second overall in the competition for the Jim Young Cup, which is determined by the aggregate points from all three divisions. With the young talent we have in TSS Gymnastics from this year, there is a determination to improve in 2015. RECREATION GYMNASTICS
Recreation Gymnastics enjoyed a busy year with boys from the Prep School. The boys enjoyed a wide variety of gymnastic activities, which proved popular all year. The teaching of movement and base skills allows the boys to achieve competent levels of gymnastic skills with confidence. The classes continue to be popular, with full classes all year.
