2018 State Championships

We couldn’t be more proud of the performances of these girls at 2018 State Championships.

So many personal bests and the way these girls faced the challenge and remained focused throughout the competition was amazing to witness.

To rank with the states best and show improvement beyond belief in the areas that have challenged them is a credit to their dedication to training and personal drive.

Thank you girls for the opportunity to be part of your journey, to witness your ups and downs, your growth, determination and personal commitment.

20 Reasons your Preschooler should do Gymnastics

20 Reasons your Preschooler should do Gymnastics
(That have Nothing to do with Learning Gymnastics)

What if Johnny never learns a cartwheel? Or how about if Janie never masters holding a handstand? Would there still be any value in putting your preschooler in a gymnastics class?

Yes, I say.

Absolutely, yes.

In addition to it being a lot of fun, here are twenty reasons your preschool aged child should do gymnastics that have nothing to do with learning gymnastics.

About Us

How Gymnastics Helps Your Child Succeed in School

Harvard School of Education released their findings on their latest research project; and, they could have simply titled it “Why Your Kid Should do Gymnastics if You Want Them to Develop the Kind of Character That Helps Them Succeed at School.”

About Us

To the Gymnast who needs a Pep Talk 💜

Hang in there girl, it will be hard…but you got this!

Gymnastics is hard. I know. But, I also know that is why you love it. The challenges gymnastics faces you with everyday in the gym are the reasons you show up to practice everyday. You “want” to get better. You “want” to make it to the next level. You “want” to be just like the “big girls” in the gym. But being successful in the sport of gymnastics takes a lot more than “wanting”.

Being successful in gymnastics takes a life consuming dedication to the sport. You may be having a hard day, week, or month in the gym right now but don’t give up on yourself or the sport that loves you just quite yet. You are a gymnast, that means you are currently training in one of the hardest sports in the world. You may not realize it right now, but this sport will teach you so many life lessons. You are a tenacious girl, with a fiery spirit who can out do all the boys in a pull-up contest on the playground any day. So here is my letter to you. Gymnast to gymnast, I know you can get through this…all you need is a little pep-talk.

Design Our Comp Polo Shirt Competition

North West Gymnastics wants your help to design our new club polo!!

We feel it’s about time for a change to our competition polo shirt for our competitive kids and we are looking to you to help us design our new competition polo.

You will still be able to use our existing shirts for competitions however over time we’ll look to phase them out.

To enter the competition simply submit your design using the attached template by the 1st of August 2018 to info@northwestgymnastics.com.au.

Please provide as much detail as you can with your drawing regarding colours and patterns.

Template here: NWG 2018 Design Our Club Comp Polo Competition

We will then post the submissions for voting by you to help us decide on our club style.

The winner not only gets the blast from designing our new club shirt but will also receive a free Polo and other goodies.

Please note: We are not intending to change the club competition leotards or men’s clothing and hence the colours that you see on our club leo’s would likely be a good guide for the designs.
