Acrobatics | Performance Programme Selections 2026-27
Across the levels, sixty-five gymnasts in twenty-four partnerships have been selected onto the Scottish acrobatic performance programme.
Ian Said will continue to lead the programme as national technical lead with Michelle Diniz also continuing as development performance programme (DPP) coach.
There are three levels to the performance programme structure. The national performance programme (NPP) focuses on those with potential to succeed on the Great Britain pathway at the most senior levels. The performance pathway programme (PPP) will host those working at the youth and junior FIG levels. Partnerships working from NDP grade 4 up to pre-youth in 2026, aiming to progress to youth in 2027 will be seen in DPP.
We will deliver four non-residential camps for all three programmes at Dynamics Gymnastics Academy, Motherwell. Both PPP and NPP will attend an additional, combined two-day residential camp at the Inverclyde National Sports Centre in Largs.
Activity across all levels and environments remain athlete-centred, coach-led and performance driven. Gymnasts should experience an environment that allows them to enjoy and embrace challenges throughout the year. Plus, encourages them to work with their national and club coaches to maximise their development and competitive opportunities.
Congratulations to the selected gymnasts and their club coaches. Best wishes for the year of competition ahead.
