It was another marathon weekend at City of Newport Gymnastic Academy. A total of 32 gymnasts represented the Academy at the South East regional classic challenge competition 2024. We were so proud of every gymnast whose attitude and effort was exceptional! Our perception of success at CNGA is measured by the smiling, happy female gymnasts taking part in sport on a regular basis. We have a motto ‘Participate, Enjoy, Achieve’ and we are so fortunate to have a fantastic squad of respectful children involved in gymnastics at CNGA – from the youngest to the oldest. Our support team of volunteers and coaches make everything happen at the club and it is a collective team effort that is the hallmark of our success. Well done to everyone involved at this competition, and a special mention to our judge representatives – Ryan and Josie!
