Team Evolution: Road to Paris

Who are we?

P.H.D FUNdamentals are the only competition trampoline and gymnastics club based in the Scottish Borders. We offer classes for children from age 3 in Peebles and Galashiels. We have a display team called Team Evolution who have made the decision to turn competitive and enter competitions in 2024. These competitions include Paris and Edinburgh.

Why are we fundraising?

Team Evolution 2024 have been selected to represent the club to compete in Paris in October 2024. The team is made up of 21 gymnasts and 4 coaches who are dedicated to training and preparing to take part in three competitions as a team in Paris. The total cost is in excess of £30,000 and the team are working tirelessly, around their schooling, to fundraise to get there. When there, the team will display three competition routines that each require a different costume.

How we’ll spend the money raised

The funds will be used to purchase costumes to compete at the three competitions. These costumes will be then reused year after year by the members of the rest of the club as we host an annual Christmas Display to show our skills off to our parents.

Community impact

As a club, we provide opportunities to compete at all levels from recreational, floor and vault to four piece for gymnastics and club competitions in trampoline. We work hard to provide as many opportunities to take part in sports at all levels 6 days a week. We also support our community members with Duke of Edinburgh Awards, Saltire Awards, Leadership Awards, Learn to Coach and UKCC coaching qualifications.

As a club we are keen to offer competitive opportunities in our display team, Team Evolution, that include gymnasts from all levels and ages within the club. The team are inclusive and inspire our younger gymnasts.
