BUCS
BUCS (British Uni Championships) is the most important competition for nearly all university sports teams and there are hundreds of performers in gymnastics.
BUCS 2016 was a successful year as in the Women's Artistic category, Alice Copley came 16th and Megan Lloyd came 17th out of 66 competitors and in the Women's Floor and Vault category, Helen Cain came 8th out of 90 competitors.
During BUCS 2017, our Level 1 Women's Team obtained the All-around Silver Medal.
We were overwhelmed by the amazing performance of our teams and hope to continue this success at BUCS next year!
Club Impact Award
At the end of each year the University of Birmingham holds its annual sports awards, a great evening where all sports teams come together to celebrate their successes over the past year.
Gymnastics and Trampolining won the prestigious Club Impact Award, showing how important we are to the students at Birmingham University. We are now one of the biggest sports societies and hopefully will continue to prove our success in the future!
Achievements
Over the past few years the University of Birmingham Gymnastics club has gone from strength to strength. We have grown significantly in membership, as well as improved our competitive success and we aim to further this is coming years.
Coach of the Year
As well as sports team awards, the Sports Ball also celebrates individual hard work and success. In 2013, Gymnastics Head Coach, Yunjia Lau, was announced as the Coach of the Year!
We all agree that this was a well deserved award and are sure that Yunjia will continue to demonstrate her amazing coaching skills!
Victoria Wesley Award
The Victoria Wesley Award recognises outstanding contribution to UBSport and to the development of the student sporting experience.
The year 2013 winner was our very own Vicky Harris. As Gymnastics Captain, Vicky played a key role in the fantastic delivery of the Birmingham Gymnastics Open - a major sporting event on campus. She worked tirelessly to ensure the development and expansion of the Gymnastics & Trampolining club and recruited several new coaches to further improve our club. Not only that, but Vicky went on to become the Vice-President of Sport at the guild and we hoped that she enjoyed her role there as much as she has enjoyed her role within the gymtramp club.
