Congratulations Emily O'Connor

Development Team, Thursday, 23 May 2013

Emily O'Connor has been named on the Australian Team for World Games in Cali, Columbia 25th July to 4th August

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Emily achieved her position on the team at the selection trial held at the Senior National Camp in Castle Hill, NSW, 20-21st April.
The Australian Team will consist of Emily O'Connor, Mathew Weal (NSW), Judge Belinda Cox (NSW) and Coach Jarrod Heriot (Vic).
 
Emily will be competing at the upcoming Victorian Championships as well as Australian Championships in preparation for the event.
 
 
It is said that the World Games are the 'Olympic Games' of those sports and disciplines which are not part of the programme of the Olympic Games. Similar to the Olympic Games, there are 31 sports in the programme of the 2013 World Games. Australia qualified a position in both the men's and women's DMT event from results at the 2011 TRP World Championships and held a trial to select the Australian representatives at the recent Senior Squad Training Camp. (While Trampoline is an Olympic Sport, DMT is not)

Around the Grounds - WAG Trial 1

Meagan Silvers, Monday, 20 May 2013

Today 'Around the Grounds' travels to Maffra for the WAG State Team Trial 1

 
 
 
 
 
On the last balmy days before the winters cold overtakes our state, Victorian WAG gymnasts were competing on the first of two days of competition in Maffra to represent their state at Australian Championships.

Trial one is the first of two trials where National 7-10 athletes compete in order to earn a spot to represent Victoria - an ongoing goal for many athletes. It was great to be a part of the atmosphere and see many athletes picking up the pace and continuing to up the ante, in order to create a strong team image. The dynamics are already starting to build with athletes from all clubs showing support of their fellow competitors and teammates.

Thank-you to the Maffra club members and volunteers, for conducting and managing the competition. The GV panel and judges, for their assistance and support in the lead up for Australian Championships and of course thanks to the coaches and their athletes for bringing their ‘A Game’. Keep working hard and Good Luck for Trial 2!
 
This 'Around the Grounds' report was brought to you by Meagan Silvers (Level 10 MLC)

GV2U - Staff Volunteer Program

Monday, 6 June 2011

Gymnastics Victoria is extremely proud to be able to offer its staff volunteer initiative designed to further support affiliated Victorian gymnastics clubs. GV office staff will each volunteer one full day a year to work within affiliated clubs.

One Day, One Team

Clubs will have the opportunity to nominate themselves by completing a GV Volunteer Expression of Interest Form (EOI) and submitting it to the GV office. 
 
Please indicate in your EOI, which staff member you would prefer and what tasks you would like them to do. If your club is selected details will be directly negotiated between the club and nominated staff member. 
 
The volunteer initiative will have mutual benefits for both affiliated clubs and GV staff. Clubs will be able to utilize volunteer hours, address specific issues through specialist staff and better represent their club and its needs. GV staff will gain a further appreciation of the operating environment within affiliated clubs and the current fantastic work dedicated gymnastics volunteers do within Victoria. Both parties will also be able to further build relationships. What a great way to get to know GV staff and for GV to understand your club.
 
The release of this initiative was timed to coincide with the National Volunteers Week (May 2011); a celebration of the dedication of the many wonderful people who give of their time to enhance the community. Sport in particular is very reliant on volunteers and would significantly struggle without them. 
 
The GV staff are excited and committed to this initiative and the potential positive outcomes, and hope that clubs embrace this opportunity also. So get creative and think of how your club may benefit.
 
Please complete the attached form and submit to Kristian Brudenell, Club Services Manager.
