The gymnasts taking part in the first rhythmic gymnastics performance pathway programme have been named.
The rhythmic PPP is a great addition for 2020 and is a progression of the successful programme of development clinics and technical symposia that have been running over the last two years.
The selections for the programme were made following a joint profiling day at Lilleshall National Sports Centre alongside the GB Foundation Squad selections. There were fifteen gymnasts invited to the profiling day, with nine gymnasts and their personal coaches selected and a further three reserves.
The aim of this programme is to support coaches and gymnasts in developing the skills that will allow them to succeed on the British pathway at pre-espoir and espoir level. The programme will be delivered by a variety of technical experts along with the support of the coaches on the Scottish Gymnastics rhythmic coach development programmes. The programme is based on a culture of hard work, continuous improvement, taking ownership and embracing challenge and setbacks.
There will be two opportunities for gymnasts who have not been selected to attend development clinics on 7 March and 22 August 2020, as well as the routine evaluation day on 18 January.
Scottish Gymnastics performance manager Jamie Bowie said: “It was fantastic to see our coaches and gymnasts at Lilleshall over the weekend as part of the profiling event. We are really looking forward to the first camp in January on the back of a number of successful development clinics that have run over the last two years.”
Congratulations to the selected gymnasts and their coaches.
