We have specifically set aside Thursday 5 December for athletes to travel to Broadbeach. The gym is closed on this day. Do not book flights before this date due to the super important last training sessions with your teams on Mon 2, Tue 3 and/or Wed 4 Dec. Return flights are to be booked for Mon 9 Dec and not before this day as often teams will compete on Sunday evening. Royals compete for a 2nd day for a Worlds bid on Mon 9 Dec so the return flight is Tue 10 Dec.

We encourage everyone to book accommodation asap as gyms attend from all around Australia (NZ, Asia and USA). Nationals have previously had approximately 30,000 attendees! We can not stress enough - accommodation WILL book out around Broadbeach. We recommend making reservations with free cancellation and where changes are allowed. You can adjust the checkout date once you receive our Event Program with confirmed days and times.
TRAINING SESSION IN QUEENSLAND
🤸 Fri 6 Dec 2024 Our last training session before competing is super important and is lots of fun, as athletes and coaches get to see all the teams perform and have the opportunity to train together. Athletes will be at the training session for 2 hours. Times will not be confirmed until a draft running order is released from AASCF. As some teams could compete on Friday, we may need to adjust training times. Training will be held at Inspire Athletics, 2/221 Brisbane Rd, Biggera Waters, QLD.
