Competition Section Trials

We will shortly be hosting trials for all of our competition sections. In these sections, gymnasts will be expected to train multiple days a week with the expectation of full commitment to training and competitions. Details of the commitments for each section, and some details of skill requirements can be found below. If you are unsure about the different disciplines, please follow these links for some details of them:

  1. Display - Display | Scottish Gymnastics
  2. Tumble - Tumbling | Scottish Gymnastics
  3. Acro - Acrobatic | Scottish Gymnastics
  4. Women’s Artistic - Women's Artistic | Scottish Gymnastics


We have a video that shows the differences between Acro and Women’s Artistic for those that are perhaps not so familiar with these: https://youtu.be/tZbKhlG20IQ


Please have a look at the descriptors for each discipline and if interested book a place in that trial if you meet the criteria.


Please note, if you choose Acro or Artistic squads and are successful you may not train with any other discipline due to the high level of commitment required. However it is possible to be in the Tumble section, Display and Floor & Vault or a combination of these.


Any questions or queries should be directed to our Senior Club Coach Nicky, seniorcoach@ekgc.org
