Whilst it is great to see a community games calendar for 2022, it is very disappointing to see sports such as gymnastics omitted.

The community games are committed to excellent initiatives promoting Women In Sport (WIS) and indeed are currently running seminars exploring among other topics 'how to retain girls in sport', however on the other hand, gymnastics is a sport in Ireland with '85% female participation and female influence across all departments' has been excluded from the list of events.

There are girls and boys all over Ireland who haven't been able to compete for the last two years due to Covid-19 but have remained in the sport with the motivation of competing in the 2022 community games (local, county or national) and now their dreams have been dashed again. It really beggars belief why this is happening when gymnastics clubs and local committees all over Ireland are willing to do what it takes to provide the children with the opportunity to compete.

Hopefully someone within the community games organisation can consider the impact of this decision and reverse it.

Totally agree with Bernard that it’s a shame that gymnastics not included . What’s the reason ? My three girls are very disappointed that this is the case .
