The Generation Acrobatic Gymnastics Club was launched at the beginning of 2018 and is open to all kids aged 6 years and up.

The current competition team participated in the Western Cape Acrobatic Gymnastic Championship on 18 August. The girls, who all started gymnastics this year, performed at their best and all eight gymnasts who entered, received medals and gymnastics honours.

The four Ladies pairs will be heading to Pretoria at the end of September to represent the Western Cape at the 2018 SA Gym Games. The gymnasts are finetuning their routines and hope to improve on their previous performances.

With the added cost of travelling to Pretoria, Generation Schools Hermanus is looking for any sponsors willing to contribute to the trip. Please contact isabelle.carr@generation schools.co.za or 082 747 2224 if you have any queries or would like to be involved in the sponsorship of the team.
