The National Age group Championships are complete for another year, the voluntary and combined compulsory and voluntary champions crowned. In a matter of weeks after the new year, the gymnasts involved will move up to the next level, preparing for compulsories in the spring.

Age groups is the biggest competition of the year for up and coming gymnasts in Great Britain, and a huge amount of work will have gone into today both to succeed for the team, individually, and for those at the top end, to place high enough for national squad selection.

It is an enormous achievement for every single gymnast that qualified to national finals, well done to all gymnasts taking part, and  to the coaches that helped them get there.

Level 4

At level four, the first national voluntary championships for the 2007 born gymnasts , and the first opportunity to be crowned combined British champion.

In the team event the East region took the title with three of their gymnasts in the top ten. South West took the silver, and South the bronze.
