Progress report
1. Novice & Inter Sussex Champs – held at Lancing Leisure Centre on 23rd March.
Was a great Success we had over 300 participants and added another floor and vault judging panel.
This competition was the first of the new regional criteria for the county,
Many Thanks to everyone who HELPED ON THE DAY, and special thanks to Dawn who was available on the day as welfare as in previous years she was a great help.
Would just like to say that the response from our youth leadership team at the event was massive and very well received a credit to all gymnasts and clubs who volunteered! A brilliant day to learn how an event like this runs down to judging and event management.
2. We have now secured K2 to host the Advanced Bronze Silver and Gold GG F&V Sussex Championships this will be on Sunday the 15th of June, entries via gymevent and close on 14th of May.
3. We have a county judging workshop available to all judges and coaches who want a recap. based on the new criteria for 2025 on Saturday 10th of May @ Brighton Girls school BN1 3AT, if anyone would like to attend, please email me, it is free.
(Please note this is not a qualification course it is just a workshop to clarify new SE rules)
4. We would like to investigate running Full workshop day based on the new criteria combined with routine construction for the county so that smaller clubs and young development leaders/ coaches could attend giving them opportunity to get involved and have an improved understanding of the new Criteria and skills. This would be a one-day event, possibly Morning for coaching development and afternoon for judging.
If we put a budget sheet together is this something that the county would consider and pay for with a nominal fee being paid by local clubs to attend? - Looking for a venue
Action to be taken in the next 6 months.
1. County GG Development Workshop
2. Look into starting Back up the Sussex 4x4 also in 2025/202
