During the week-long festivities, gymnastics institutions will have the opportunity to open their doors to the public, inviting communities and schools to experience the magic of gymnastics firsthand. From hosting open days to organizing family events and engaging with local communities, clubs and schools will have a variety of participation opportunities to showcase the wide range of gymnastics programs available.

Emphasizing gymnastics’ accessibility and its benefits for individuals of all ages and backgrounds Jurgens explained, “Beyond just showcasing the skill and grace of gymnasts, the ‘Incredible Gymnastics’ week carries a deeper significance that aims to reaffirm that gymnastics is for everyone irrespective of age, ability and background.”

The event aligns with Gymnastics South Africa’s broader vision to promote an inclusive understanding of gymnastics and encourage an active lifestyle across the nation. Jurgens highlighted the benefits of the week’s celebration, including enhanced exposure for the sport of gymnastics, increased awareness of the gymnastics participation opportunities for everyone, not only the high-performance athletes, and the creation of fun-filled days to attract new members.
