Sunday night our Barron Valley families, coaches and Aspire gymnasts celebrated 2017 at our Aspire Awards Night! What a night! It’s been a busy and successful year for our Aspire gymnasts and we loved hearing our seniors speak to their peers and our up and coming gymnasts.  Sounds like Sam, Dianne and the team who headed to the International Gymnastics Camp (IGC) in the US in July had the experience of a lifetime! We also loved hearing the advice Monet would give her 7-year old self - that you can have whatever you want in life if you set a goal and do what it takes to achieve it.  Monet spoke to the group about believing in herself & in what she could achieve and how the senior gymnasts when she was starting out, helped her believe she could do it and be successful.  What an inspiration our BV young leaders are! With a new coaching team this year, there has been lots happening for our kids and it was wonderful to see the Barron Valley spirit shining bright.  It was also great to see some familiar faces, with former BV coaches Matt & Kristen Walker and Maddison Pye joining us to celebrate 2017! Thanks to our amazing Aspire coaches - Di, Sergei, Bede, Nick, Dionne, Leah, Mikayla & Monet - for all you do for our Aspire gymnasts at Barron Valley.  Special thank you also to the Committee for your ongoing support. And of course – the gymnasts!  We are so proud of all of you! Congratulations to our amazing award winners and thank you to all of our gymnasts, families and coaches for another wonderful year of gymnastics at Barron Valley! #goteambv!  CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BELOW RECIPIENTS OF BARRON VALLEY GYMNASTICS CLUB AWARDS:
