Blast from the past

Hi my name is Sharon I am head coach and founder of SPLITZ GYM CLUB and this is how it all began!! 

1985 - 86
W.F.L.C Gymnastics club ( as it used to be called back then ) started out from one class held at Worle Fitness & Leisure Centre.
It also ran Gym Tots for younger members.
On the centre’s open day the gym club performed for the first time, the classes increased by popular demand.
We also formed an advanced team of 7 Gymnasts.

1988  
The classes were now sorted out into age groups and the advanced team competed at their first Tumbling competition Carita House Sports Acrobatic Championships at King Alfred Sports Centre.
The club also held its first Annual Awards Evening & has done ever since, trophies went to MOST IMPROVED, ATTENDANCE, BEST NEWCOMER, SERVICES TO THE CLUB and not forgetting GYMNAST OF THE YEAR.

In this year I decided the club should have its own name and colours so I drew the new logo from a photo and SPLITZ GYMNASTIC & SPORTS ACROBATIC CLUB was our new name.

The Advanced team moved to larger premises at St.Martins School Worle so they could compete in Floorwork as well as tumbling, the only problem was the club didn't have enough mats to make a full floor area, so we used to spread the mats on the floor where the balances went.

1989 - 1993
The club extended more and classes were now starting up at different venues around Weston, and The Advanced Team was training hard for forthcoming competitions.

1994 - 1995  
Splitz gym clubs success excelled and in the following two years the medal results of the club are as follows:
