Parkour and Gymnastics: Gymnastics Captain

Hi everyone! My name is Ava and I am in Second Year.

Gymnastics has been a huge part of my life. From competing with the Shanghai Women's Gymnastics team from 2020-2025 at national and international competitions to gaining experience in coaching, I've experienced the sport from both sides of the mat. I'd love to bring that experience, passion and energy to our society.

If elected, I want to focus on three things:

  • Building a stronger team. Gymnastics is so much better when we can support each other and build a close knit community. I'd love to organise more socials, team bonding activities and opportunities for us to get to know each other beyond training.
  • Making gymnastics welcoming for everyone. Whether you've been doing gymnastics for years or are just a beginner, I want our club to be a space where everyone feels comfortable. Having coaching experience has shown me how rewarding it is to help others build confidence and develop their skills.
  • Helping us reach our potential. I'd love to make training sessions more engaging and supportive. I would love to help choreograph and find music to make your routines come to life. I'll also prioritise clear communication and organisation so everyone knows what's happening and feels included. I

As captain, I want to bring together my competitive experience, coaching background and love for the sport to help our club grow.

Let's flip, tumble, and have an amazing year together!
