2023 Combined High School Trampoline Trials

On Thursday morning, Miranda RSL Youth Club once again hosted the Sydney East Trampolining Trial for public high school students. At the conclusion of the event, fourteen students were selected to represent the region at the 2023 NSWCHSSA Trampoline Sports Championship to be held in Gosford on the 11th and 12th of September.

This year’s team includes 4 athletes from Port Hacking High School’s Special Education program. These athletes all participate in school sport at the Youth Club and have worked extremely hard to earn their place on the team.

We wish the whole Sydney East team the best of luck for the upcoming Championship.

Thank you to everyone who came along to support our athletes! We would also like to give a shout out to our incredible volunteers who helped to set up and pack down the gym, run the raffle and marshal the athletes. 

Congratulations to our 2022 perpetual award winners;

Ritchie Gillies Award – Karate Most Improved  Leonardo Luci

Kara Miller Award – Trampoline Encouragement Award  Penny Duff *

Joan McMaster Achievement Award – Female Trampolinist of the Year  Maia Manlias *

Alec Dengate Achievement Award – Male Trampolinist of the Year  Elijah Ryan

* Due to illness, Penny and Maia were unable to attend Display Day. They have since been presented with their awards during their regular classes.

We also made several special presentations on the day including inducting a new Life Member to the Youth Club, Amanda Donaldson.

Amanda joined the Youth Club in 1992 and has participated in Trampoline, Tumbling and Karate. She has also held the positions of coach and Committee Member, serving in recent years as the Youth Club Secretary. Amanda has spent countless hours working behind the scenes to keep the Youth Club running and is a very deserving recipient of this honour.

Two of our coaches, Keelie Smith and Kristen Chirgwin, also received their 10 Year Service Award for their contribution to our Club.

We hope you enjoyed your day and look forward to seeing you back next year!
