Well done to all of our MAG gymansts who completed the 2024 Strength Challenge in April!

The boys completed 13 different strength challenges, to test their upp body strength, handstand strength, core strength, shaping, leg strength and explosive leg power!  The results were amazing and all boys were awarded a certificate with their scores, and the boys who achieved a top 3 score out of all the level 1-3 MAG boys were awarded a ribbon.
