Schnuppertraining im Kunstturnen 2014

The trial day for Kunsturnen for this year is finally announced. As a matter of fact it's been on the web site for quite some time now, though it is only now that you see it's posted in public, one at my bus stop this morning. Apparently it's a yearly thing that new potential gmynasts or Turnenrinen in German are sought for to join the local team / association.

Schnuppertraining or test training (or rather test session), is are open to girls of around the age of 5 to come and observe a resgular training session and if interested and and eventually selected could join the regular training and compete in numerous competition over the period of spring and start of summer.

In August 2013, I wrote a post about my daughter Lana joining the team with hectic training of 4 to 5 times a week for roughly 4 hours each. She's doing really well and is now recognised as one of the key gymnasts in her group. She joined very late at the age of 7, but fortunately able to pretty much skip two years to be where she is now.
