Aviators hit JAMfest Europe 2013

JAMfest Europe is easily one of the most fun competitions of the season.

We took 4 teams to compete at the competition held at the Echo Arena in Liverpool on the 23rd June.

First on the floor, at the crack of dawn, was our Mini Level 1 team, the Harrier Jump Jets. The routine went well, with lots of energy and placed 4th in a tough division! This team has only 6 little ladies on (and were against teams with over 20 athletes), but they really held their own in their division with their skills and teamwork really showing on the mat. Congratulations HJJ!

Skyhawks were next in one of the biggest divisions of the day, Senior Level 2. They hit their routine, pushing the top end of Level 2 skills with only a couple of very minor issues! They placed 4th – congratulations, what an achievement!

Spitfires took to the floor next in the Senior Coed Level 4 division. They were determined to hit their routine clean and did a fantastic job, taking the 2ndplace trophy.

Last to represent the Aviator Program were Aces in the Senior Coed Level 5 division. They had limited training before this competition, with their focus on increasing their confidence in their routine and gaining experience performing it well at this competition. Although they couldn’t hear the start of the music (until it was turned up) they managed to pull the performance together and were awarded 1st place – congratulations on the National/European title!
