Our MSSP KS2 RISE Gymnastics Competitions took place on Tuesday 4th February at Canons Leisure Centre, Mitcham.
This event for 2025 combined the two age categories of Yr 3/4 and Yr 5/6 on to the same day with all teams taking part in three different disciplines of Vault, Core Skills and Working Together routines.
With the wonderful judging support from Kai, Grace, Olly and Saskia from Unity All-stars as well as Natalie from GymKidz and Lisa from Merton Gymnastics Club, the teams competed superbly well and represented their schools to such credit.
Gymnasts performed to earn a max of 40 points per event towards an individual score as well as a team score tallied from accumulating the total from their team of 4.
Well done to each and every gymnast for participating with such determination and quality – it was clear from the routines on display that everyone had worked really hard in preparation for their routines. Thanks too to all the teachers and coaches for enabling your young people to take part and experience the event.
