We’ve got our date set ready for our favourite part of the year …THE AFFINVITATIONAL! This is for ALL of our Gymnastics and Parkour classes from age 4-6yrs upwards. Read on for more information.
Hi Everyone!
The AFFINVITATIONAL 2025
So, let us explain if you’re new to the club. The ‘Affinvitational’ is our Affinity Invitational event. And the name is the result of me tripping over my words in a meeting once combining the two and yes, the name stuck.
It’s our very own in-house competition event that brings our fun and inclusive Affinity ethos. We encourage all our members to take part, either competing or spectating, to feel the excitement of competition and to build confidence through shared experiences. It truly is our favourite time of the year. Gymnasts will perform on floor and trampette (floor and vault for Parkour) with their own coaches there to help, support and encourage them. It’s a low pressure, safe, but comfort-zone expanding environment.
We started running this event many years ago, before a break in the pandemic. We previously invited other local clubs to take part but in 2022 we ran the first one for just our athletes, and we loved it. So that’s what we’re continuing to do. A day just for us all.
This year, here’s the deal:
You will be invited to compete if you are in a Gymnastics or Parkour class age 4-6yrs, 7-9yrs, 10-12yrs or 13+ years.
Squad gymnasts – as you have other external events you are working towards, we won’t have this as a competition for you, but will invite you to come and perform a display.
Cheerleaders – similarly! You’ll be deep in competition season at this time, but if you fancy coming to display some skills do let us know and we’ll see what we can do.
Those in Pre-school, Express and Tumble classes, we invite you to come and watch and see what all the fuss is about.
More information to come, entries will open in early May. In the meantime, here’s a couple of comments from our previous Invitationals:
” All gymnasts embraced the spirit of the competition. It was really friendly. My daughter came out talking about her new friends. It’s an excellent introduction to competitive gymnastics for both the gymnasts and the parents. Coaches were incredibly reassuring. “
” My son had a great time. I think this competition is an excellent idea to give the beginners a chance to compete and show how great they are. “
” Thank you so much a fabulous day on Sunday. Of course now my daughter really has the bug and wants to do more gymnastics!…it was so lovely to see all the children having such a great time and she glowed all afternoon. It’s really given her a much needed confidence boost. “
I can’t wait.
