The club’s gymnasts, competing in national level 7 through to senior level, are eligible for selection onto state teams representing Victoria at national events. They compete at several trial events in March and April where the best are chosen to represent the state. COVID saw Mornington Youth Club close from March to November with gymnasts only
able to train at home via online classes. Only minimal outdoor sessions were allowed. Since November, the gymnasts have had returned to full training. “Without their hard work at home, and that of their coaches providing online sessions, they probably wouldn’t have been able to get back into condition and be ready for competitions this year,” the club’s head gymnastics coach Kerry Angleton said. “We are incredibly proud of these athletes ... who have worked so hard to prepare for this event after such a long time away from the gym last year.” Gold Coast bound: The gymnasts are Ben Packlington, Jordan Liang, Tom Hall, Jackson Findlay, Will Shurey, Phoenix Petrovic, Haylee Whitehead and Sarah Waterland.
