2019 Level 10 Australian Championships

Our level 10 superstar Tilly has been doing what she loves this week at Melbourne Arena for the 2019 Australian Championships. Matilda is representing Victoria at level 10, and our Club and it’s coaches could not be more proud. Tilly competed on Monday and hit 4 for 4 and qualified through to Thursday’s level 10 finals. ��

This is the 4th consecutive year that Matilda has represented Victoria. She has made the team at level 7, level 8, level 9 (she won the floor title and took out 2nd overall ��) and now at level 10. An outstanding achievement and a testament to her resilience and commitment to her gymnastics.

And above all she shows respect and warmth to all of those around her, coaches, gymnasts and parents, and is a true asset to the Niddrie family ��

We would also like to thank Coach Natalie Roberts who has been by her side every step of the way. ��

Advice from an Olympic champion

Fri, 24 Aug 2018 07:09:16 GMT

Former Niddrie gymnast and 5 time Winter Olympian Lydia Lassila with some great words of wisdom to children that are true for any competitive sport.

5 X Winter Olympian + Olympic Gold and Bronze medallist + all round Mt Buller Champion Lydia Lassila joins Sarah from Mt Buller for a chat to talk about competing, being a Mum, Interschools and Survivor. Click here for the full interview.

Lydia's advice:

" The key thing to remember when you're competing is to try and see yourself performing the way you want to perform. "

Tips for parents

Thu, 23 Aug 2018 07:01:22 GMT

How to make competition time as stress free as possible.

Competitions can be nerve wracking for even the most seasoned competitors (and their parents too) – so we thought we would give some tips and hints for a smooth competition day!

Be Up Early and have a healthy breakfast! (ie. porridge with banana, weatbix, eggs on toast)
Get organised and pack your gym bag the night before. (Water bottle, spare hair bands, hairspray. Level 4-10: don't forget your grips, strapping tape, gym shoes etc if needed.)
Leave enough time to do your hair (and if this is your first competition, have a practice a couple of days earlier). Niddrie coaches prefer the girl’s hair to be placed in a bun – either a ponytail or plait bun with white, aqua & navy ribbons (Same colours as the club leotard).
Parents: Get coffee – need to ensure you are calm too!
Hug your gymnast, tell them you love them, you’re proud of them, to do their best and support their team mates!
Leave plenty of time to get to the venue and consider parking – aim to arrive 15mins before your session’s general warm up begins.
Most of all have FUN!!

Encouraging comments to best support your child in sport:

Before the competition:

Have fun
Play hard
I love you

After the competition:

Did you have fun?
I’m so proud of you
I love you
“ I love to watch your gymnastics ”
