Our Hartford Sets 
Competitions

Our Hartford Sets  floor & vault competition was created to enable our squad gymnasts to show everyone what they had been achieving in the gym.

​

Michelle Oakes & Sally Bailey created routines which would be challenging, developmental but most of all achievable. These routines have now been performed by hundreds of gymnasts from all over the Cheshire & Merseyside area, and are also being used by a number of other clubs at their competitions too.

Charlie & Michelle, with help from the Coaching team, have added new sets and tweaked the odd skill here and there to maintain the development of the gymnasts.

​

The main objective for all gymnasts entering the competition is to have fun, which is why we have the club motto "who grins, wins".

Another huge success! Again, it was great to see so many of our development squad gymnasts showing their friends and family their floor and vault routines.

What a competition!

227 gymnasts sparkled during their performances and showed their families how amazing they all were!

It was another busy Hartford Sets competition with 2 visiting clubs and over 130 of our gymnasts competing on the Floor & Vault.

With Christmas music playing and their families watching, our gymnasts all had their smiley faces on and wowed the audience with their hard work. For this, all of our gymnasts received a participation medal and 73 gymnasts also gained places on the medal podiums.

In total, Hartford achieved 39 Bronze, 29 Silver & 31 Gold medals.

A huge THANK YOU as always to those people who make it all happen…. Our Hartford Gym Family!

Hartford Sets July 2018

Our smaller competition due to the time of year, but we still had 2 visiting clubs and over 160 gymnasts competing in our summer floor & vault competition.

We were very proud of how hard our gymnasts had worked to achieve personal goals and apparatus medals and this certainly showed in their performances.

Our gymnasts won a total of 36 Gold medals, 37 Silver medals & 28 Bronze medals, with everyone taking home a "Smiley Face Participation Medal" for trying their best.

Well done to everyone who took part and a big THANK YOU to our Coaching Team, Judging Team & Gym Family who kept everything running smoothly and ensured

that everyone had a great time.

 

Hartford sets December 2017

Wow, what a day!!

It was a first for our club, 420 entries with 3 visiting clubs and what a great event it was. With Christmas music and smiling faces, we experienced one of the best competitions we have held.

The green army of coaches had been making sure that children were ready for their comp and the gymnasts families were ready to see

what their children had been working so very hard on.

We saw some of our youngest gymnasts compete for the very... first time and smiled all the way through. Even with butterflies in their tummies, they shone and performed their best to receive their "smiley face" participation medals. Some of them even went on to win apparatus medals too.

For some of our gymnasts, this was a competition to better their score from last time, and without exception, all of our gymnasts improved on their previous performances and we are very proud of them all.

As a club we achieved 33 gold, 44 silver & 30 bronze medals.

Our green dream team made sure that the event ran smoothly throughout a very long day, with jobs ranging from coaching, making refreshments, fundraising, selling leotards, judging, door duties and running. The green army also did a fab job of transporting equipment, setting up and planning before the day itself.

We are extremely lucky to have an amazing gym family who are there to support us whenever we need them. We couldn't have made this event run so well without them and we want to thank them and everyone who

took part in it for making it such an enjoyable day.

We have some group pictures on our Facebook Page @ Hartford school of gymnastics 

   

Sets Comp December 2016

Over 300 gymnasts, 6 visiting clubs & schools, a family of coaches & helpers, proud parents & grand parents and lots of good wishes and support. This is the recipe for a successful competition and that is what happened at our own Club competition yesterday.

19 years ago, Charlie and I had a dream and we are really proud to have seen our dream grow and develop into a gym club to be so proud of.

We work with some amazing children, and yesterday showed that no matter which level or discipline of gymnastics our children work at, they do it with such enthusiasm and try their best always.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who made this event so successful.
