23 gymnasts representing PCYC Queensland at the National Clubs Gymnastics Carnival soared to new heights and left coaches, and supporters buzzing with pride.
Hosted by Gymnastics Australia last week, National Clubs was the first qualifying event for the Australian National Championships 2026.
Gymnasts from PCYCs Redcliffe and Caboolture represented PCYC Queensland in trampolining.
PCYC Redcliffe Gymnastics Program Leader Alex Lucas is thrilled about his student Harry Tedford being selected to represent Australia at the Junior World Age Championships for Tumbling and Double Mini Trampoline.
“We are so proud of Harry, and we can’t wait to cheer him on as he takes the international stage!” Alex said.
Rhythmic gymnasts representing PCYC Logan also competed at the 2025 National Clubs Gymnastics Carnival, impressing coaches and supporters alike with their talent and dedication.
A standout performance came from Aira Kim, who was named Overall National Champion and took top honours in the Ball and Clubs apparatus.
PCYC Logan’s Rhythmic Gymnastics Coaching Team, led by competition coach Kitti Csernyanszky, was thrilled with the team’s results and the athletes’ hard work throughout the event.
“We are so proud of this team for supporting each other and shining on the national stage. Congratulations to our Rhythmic superstars!” Kitti said.
Gymnasts from PCYC Toowoomba competed in the Junior Artistic State Gymnastics Championships held last week at the Sleeman Sports Complex at Chandler.
PCYC Toowoomba Gymnastics Program Leader Felicia Platz said they had a large team representing PCYC Toowoomba at this four-day event hosted by Gymnastics Queensland.
“PCYC Toowoomba had a record of 25 gymnasts competing at State Championships this year, and 17 of them made the Darling Downs Team – out of 18 available spots!” Felicia said.

Around 370 young gymnasts flipped, tumbled, and cheered their way through a day of excitement and energy at PCYC Queensland’s annual gymnastics carnival, held on 14 June at PCYC Logan.
The fun, inclusive event for PCYC gymnasts of all ages and levels from 12 clubs across southeast Queensland focused on participation, encouragement, and team spirit, with a sprinkle of competition.
“It was such a fun event that really focused on teamwork, the great Gymnastics community we have here at PCYC, and having fun,” said Maree Calder, PCYC Queensland State Sport and Recreation Manager.
“While our gymnasts are immensely skilled and many are very dedicated to their sport – we also focus on the joy of moving your body and working as a team. Our carnival is a celebration of that.”
Events included routine displays, skill circuits, and fun challenges designed to highlight the gymnasts’ progress and enjoyment of the sport.
PCYC Queensland CEO Phil Schultz said the event was a huge success.
“While there was a competitive element and the skills on display were impressive, the focus on building confidence, having fun and community really made this event a standout,” he said.
“It was terrific to see so many athletes, families and friends supporting our gymnasts.
“We want to really embrace the fact that gymnastics is not just about perfect routines, but about participation, perseverance, and passion – and we saw a lot of that at this event.”
Throughout the day, awards were presented to recognise gymnasts of all levels.
