Squad & Development Squad Trials – Frequently Asked Questions
- Jul 7
- 2 min read
Our trials are an opportunity for gymnasts to be assessed by our experienced coaching team to see whether they would benefit from joining one of our Development or Competitive Squads.
These programmes offer gymnasts the opportunity to train for additional hours each week, helping them develop their skills, strength, flexibility and confidence in a structured environment.
Who can attend?
The trials are open to members and non members who are enthusiastic, committed and eager to develop their gymnastics further.
Whether your child has ambitions to compete or simply wants to train more and challenge themselves, we’d love to see them at the trials.
These trials are for children aged 4 and upwards.
When are the trials?
Thursday 6th August, 1:00pm – 3:00pm, At Wolds Gymnastics Club
What are we looking for?
We’ll be looking at:
Strength and flexibility
Coordination and body control
Confidence and willingness to try new skills
Focus and attitude
Listening skills
Overall potential to progress with increased training
We’re looking for gymnasts who are ready for the next stage of their development—not necessarily those who can already perform the most advanced skills.
What happens if my child is successful?
If your gymnast is offered a place, they’ll have the opportunity to join one of our Development or Competitive Squads and increase their weekly training hours. These hours depend on which group they will be offered.
From there, they’ll continue to develop under the guidance of our experienced coaching team and, if appropriate, work towards competitions in the future.
Why choose Wolds?
We’re incredibly proud of the pathway we’ve created for our gymnasts.
Our boys’ squad currently includes gymnasts competing at the British Championships, the highest level of national competition in Great Britain, while our girls’ squad competes at the Classic Challenge, providing an excellent competitive pathway for aspiring gymnasts.
However, our success isn’t just measured by competition results.
We’re passionate about making sure every child is in the right place, progressing at the right pace. Whether a gymnast is aiming for national competitions or simply building confidence and enjoying the sport, every achievement is celebrated.
