Girls ready to take to the floor AFTER two long years of COVID lockdowns and floods getting in the way of training and competitions, the girls program at Cooroy Gymnastics Club is firing up for the first event of the 2022 calendar. The club reported strong numbers this year within its competitive program, including its largest ever number of Level 3 and over women's artistic gymnasts. Under the watchful eye
of their coaches, the Cooroy Gymnastics Club's girls squad have been perfecting their routines in the lead up to the Sunshine Coast Classic hosted by the Sunshine Coast Gymnastics Academy at Woombye on May 28 and 29. The team will back up their performance at Woombye the following weekend (June 4 and 5) at the Maroochy Beach
Invitational. These two Sunshine Coast events will be hotly contested, with clubs coming from Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and the Wide Bay Burnett regions to compete in the hope of qualifying for the Queensland Junior State Championships to be held in Brisbane in September later this year. Good luck girls!

COOROY Tennis has stepped up its technological game to make use of Tennis Australia’s “Book-A-Court” program. Book-A-Court allows players access to court hire through an online booking and payment system on the Clubspark website. The four hardcourts in Cooroy may now be booked for casual play by community members, in addition to club members, through the simple online system. Once a booking is made, a pin code is provided, allowing access to the
courts through an electronic gate. Previously, casual players needed to contact the club secretary, receive a code, unlock a secured cabinet, then use, and later return, a court key, as well as manually record the booking. Club president Ian Garvey said he expected the new system to boost bookings thanks to its simplicity of use and the increased flexibility it offered members and guests when it came to making the decision to organise a game and then being able to simply go
online, find a time to play that suited everyone and pay too. One important aspect of the system is the integration of court lighting with the booking sytem. Soon, evening bookings will incorporate an automated lighting link, which will enable extended court use for players. The new system was funded through grants from the State Government and Noosa Shire Council, together with club contributions. To book, visit: play.tennis. com.au/cooroytennisclub
