A group of eleven gymnasts from the Ladywell Gymnastics Club have been invited to compete in the Dubai International Gymnastics Competition in April 2017. They will be competing on floor, vault, beam and asymmetric bars. This is an incredible opportunity to compete against gymnasts from around the world; with the girls - alongside their dedicated coaches - training for over 18 hours a week to perfect their routines to realise their goal.
All the girls are local to the area and represent the club during the year in various competitions. However, this competition is the biggest of the year, so the girls are also using Crowdfunder to raise money to get to Dubai and are looking for support to get to the competition. http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/gymnasts-competing-in-dubai
