Acro 6th World Age Group Competition - Selection Announcement  -July 2010

11-16 Women's Group:
It is with much disappointment that British Gymnastics announce the withdrawal of Rebecca Brookes (Oxford School of Gymnastics).  Due to injury Rebecca will be replaced at the World Age Group Competition (Wroclaw (POL) this July) by club mate, Rebecca Evans.  Our best wishes go to Rebecca Brookes for a full and speedy recovery, and our congratulations also to Rebecca Evans on her selection.

Team Coach:
Following the recent national success of Spelbound, Neil Griffiths will be replaced by Andrew Griffiths as team coach for the World Age Group Competition in Poland, but still feature in the World Championships as a Team Coach.  On behalf of the Technical & Performance department, congratulations to Andrew on his selection and to Spelbound on their 'Britain's Got Talent' victory.
