Tumbling | Gymnasts Selected for 2023 Performance Programmes
In the fourth year of the programme, Scottish Gymnastics has named 28 gymnasts on the national performance programme and performance pathway programme for 2023.
Four gymnasts have progressed through the performance programme since it was launched back in 2019, with nearly half of this year’s cohort of gymnasts returning or moving up a level from last year’s programme.
Scottish Gymnastics’ tumbling performance programmes work towards providing clear opportunities across all levels to drive the development of both athletes and coaches onto the British Gymnastics pathway.
The activities and camps have been designed to provide targeted support to gymnasts hoping to progress and compete at FIG level with camps led by national technical lead, Dan Lannigan and the support of tumbling development pathway coach, Charlotte Hamilton.
Aaron Steel (Durham) who has previously been part of the performance programmes over the last few years won bronze at last year’s world age group competition in Sofia, and has been selected onto the British Gymnastics Junior squad alongside Sapphire’s Lois Anderson.
Scottish Gymnastics performance manager, Wendy Purdie said:
It has been great to see ongoing engagement from the tumbling community, and the strength of gymnastics skills on show at our profiling day. We look forward to supporting gymnasts and coaches on the programmes over the coming year.
Congratulations to the selected gymnasts. We will see the gymnasts train together in a series of camps in 2023, with the first taking place on Sunday 5 February.
