The journey to Portugal 2027 has begun! 🇵🇹
We're incredibly proud to have members of the Payneham Youth Centre Cooee Club representing both our club and South Australia as part of the combined SA World Gymnaestrada Team.
The countdown to World Gymnaestrada 2027 is on, and the journey has officially begun for the combined South Australian World Gymnaestrada Team!
Recently, the team came together for their first training session as they prepare to represent South Australia at the world's biggest non-competitive gymnastics event in Portugal next July.
With 55 team members, the squad brings together gymnasts from across the state, including:
🤸 Gawler Gymnastics Club
🤸 Largs Bay Gymnastics Club
🤸 Payneham Youth Centre
🤸 Kara Kara Rhythmic Gymnastics Club
🤸 Port Lincoln Gymnastics Club
First held in The Netherlands in 1953, World Gymnaestrada takes place every four years and has grown into a multicultural celebration of Gymnastics for All, attracting more active participants than any other gymnastics event in the world.
True to its philosophy, World Gymnaestrada welcomes everyone, regardless of gender, age, race, religion, culture, ability, or social standing. It's a global celebration of movement, creativity, friendship, and inclusion.
We're excited for SA's journey over the coming months as they get ready to showcase South Australian gymnastics on the world stage.
