COMPETITORS from all over the country will descend on the region next month for the British Sports Acrobatics Championships.
The two-day event will take place over the weekend of May 26 and 27 at Newton Aycliffe Leisure Centre.
Britain is a major force in the world of sports acrobatics, a dynamic form of gymnastics requiring strength, grace, poise and balance.
The sport is a team event, relying heavily on power.
The competition involves tumbling routines with somersaults, back flips, triple turns and spins.
A separate competition floor will also be used to stage balance, tempo and combined exercises to music.
