Scallywaggs Gymnastics heads off to Switzerland as part of the Australian team. It is their 3rd Gymnaestrada. I would recommend this event to any gymnastics club who wants to open their eyes to the world of gymnastics beyond competitive gymnastics. The friendships you make from other countries is the best. Our team is inclusive of all. If you travel with the team you perform. Our last team had 3 generations from one family performing… 8 years to 73 years.
