GYMNASTICS IN OUR CITY, SORIA.

Hello bloggers! I’m going to talk to you about the sport I practice and how it is organised here in Soria. I think it is very interesting to know more about sports and about what they are like from the inside, not only what we see in the exhibitions, so here I’m going to give you some information about my favourite sport.

In our city there are two gymnastic clubs, one is called “Club Deportivo Gimnasia Soria” and the other “Club Deportivo Duero” .These two groups used to be part of “Club Deportivo Numancia”, a bigger one that not only included gymnastics, but also had football, basketball, volleyball, hockey…

Well, going back again to my topic, my club “Gimnasia Soria”, I’m going to explain what it consists of and how we prepare for our competitions and exhibitions.

Our team is divided into two types of gymnastics: aerobic and rhythmic. It is made up of 140 children aged between 5 and 18. Our training begins in august and lasts until the season ends, which is usually around May or June. But don’t think this sport is just about being flexible, this sport requires a lot of training and perseverance. You must be able to prepare all the elements that together will form part of your dancing. This also requires, apart from flexibility, concentration and strength. But not only that, we also have to consider our trainers’ work. They have to do a lot of things, first when the season starts they have to organise al the new and old club members. Then they have to choose the music for each performance and later design all their leotards. But that’s not all, they also have to federate each person who is going to compete. Then in our exhibitions and competitions all the years’ work is shown, that’s why it’s so intense.

I hope you have found this piece of information about gymnastics in Soria interesting. If you know other clubs, I’d like to know more about them!

  1. Nice post! I think that it is very important knowing in depth every sport. As you have mentioned people sometimes think that you can only highlight in a sport if you have certain capacities. However, as you say, effort is a huge important point in every sport.
    Moreover, I think that you should be quite happy and proud of being able to practice gymnastics in a small city like Soria! Continue doing it as well as you can and you will get far!
