Summer Spotlight 2026
We are delighted to announce our Summer Spotlight 2026 competition. We are so excited to announce that this will be our first ever competition involving all 4 gymnastic pieces (Floor, Bars,
Beam, Vault).
We hope this will add a challenge for gymnasts. As always, this competition caters to all levels and will be run in a confidence building environment. We will also be hosting our annual BBQ
alongside this event. It's possibly the greatest day of the year.
Competition Date: Sunday 28th June
Competition Time: 12.45-2.45pm
Pieces: Floor, Beam, Bars, Vault
Cost of Entry: (including 4 training session's): €60 (Paid on first day of training or can be broken up if your under pressure. Please don't allow the fee put anyone off entering).
Venue: Waterford Gymnastics Club
Training Dates:
* Fridays @ 4pm x 4 weeks (5th, 12th, 19th, 26th June)
or
* Saturdays @ 2:30pm x 4 weeks (6th, 13th, 20th, 27th June)
You can book the first date to secure all 4 trainings!
If the date is not visible to book that means that day is fully subscribed.
Why is extra training required?
The reason for extra training is that not all kids in classes are interested in competing, so it would be unfair for them to have to prepare for competition during normal class times. In addition, competition training can be a bit slow and hence the learning is not as fast as we feel it should be during normal class time.
Routines will be allocated on the first day of training and videos of each routine will then be made available for gymnasts to practice at home.
