Gymnastics Clubs Australia locks in 2025 Congress dates

Gymnastics Clubs Australia (GCA) has announced that its fifth annual National Congress will be held at Twin Towns, Tweed Heads on Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd July next year.

Representing the clubs and facilities where gymnastics programs are delivered the GCA conference addresses key operational issues and the challenges they face.

Many of these were raised by Marc Moncur, owner of Tasmanian-based Gymsports Management and former President of Gymnastics Tasmania, in a white paper, the Future of Gymnastics Australia, (summarised in an article in Australasian Leisure Management on 13th December) in which he calls for “a full unrestricted independent governance review in respect to gymnastics in Australia and to present their findings to the gymnastics community by July 2025.”

In the white paper, Moncur emphasises the strength of the sport, noting “gymnastics in Australia operates in a highly competitive sports and children’s activity program market, Gymnastics has over 600 not-for-profit and privately owned clubs, employing over 10,000 people and generating over $250 million annually.”

The GCA conference will include a full speaker program along with a GCA Insights Tour of various local gymnastics clubs, the GCA Gold 'Classic' and the True Blue Migration GCA Welcome Reception.

Announcements will be made shortly regarding the International Association of Child Development Programs IACDP Conference, which will back onto the GCA event, at the same venue.
