Competition Scene Springs Forward

Springfit hosted yet another successful trampoline competition last weekend. The tri-annual competition was held at the usual venue of Moor House School in Oxted on St Patrick’s Day; Sunday 17th March. The event was split into two sections based on the age and ability level of the competitors.

The organisers welcomed back regular Clubs such as Anti-Gravity in Caterham as well as introducing two new Clubs from a little further afield; Revolve and Meopham Trampoline Clubs. As always, there was an outstandingly high quality of performance from all competitors, with children displaying the very best skills they had to offer. Parents and loved ones proudly cheered on from the side as their children executed well-practised routines at a range of ability levels.

One highlight of the Springfit competitions is when the Marie Manhire-Clark trophy for effort is awarded to the competitor who the judges feel overcome difficulties or challenges, showed bravery, effort and determination in their performance. There was a very deserving winner in Daisie Clayton, 7 years, who displayed outstanding levels of determination. After a difficult forst routine, Daisie managed to pick herself up and perform her second routine with great composure, causing a tremedous round of applause from the spectators.

Springfit members claimed their fair share of medals with ten-year-old Sophie Day and Jessica Young, 6, earning gold medals for their Springfit Clubs in East Grinstead and Horley, accordingly. Huge congratulations are in order not only to the eventual medal winners but also all the hard working competitors who put on a brilliant display and shone when their time came to perform. Everyone involved was incredibly proud to be part of this supportive and positive environmnet which has provided many positives for children who enjoy their trampolining. Thanks goes out to Anti-Gravity, Meopham TC and Revolve Clubs, plus all who helped make it a brilliant day. We look forward to the next competition where we are sure the performance standards will be even higher!
