AcroPAD INVITATIONAL 2024

Breaking Ground: IGA x AcroPAD Invitational 2024

We are thrilled to share the success of the IGA x AcroPAD Invitational 2024, the first-ever competition featuring AcroPAD’s innovative training equipment. This groundbreaking event brought together gymnasts, coaches, and fans from across the region for an unforgettable weekend of high-energy performances and skilful displays.

 

A Partnership Built on Passion and Innovation

AcroPAD was founded by Daniel and Amanda Keating, both of whom have a rich background in dance and teaching. Their deep passion for teaching technique and performance inspired them to create AcroPAD, a revolutionary training tool that uses airtracks to enhance skill development safely and effectively. This partnership with AcroPAD perfectly aligns with IGA’s mission to promote excellence in gymnastics through cutting-edge training methods.

Supporting Local Businesses: A Commitment to Community

At the IGA x AcroPAD Invitational 2024, we were proud to extend our support beyond the gymnastics arena to include local small businesses in Aylesbury. As part of our commitment to community engagement, we provided stools for these businesses to showcase their products and services at the event. This initiative not only highlighted the vibrant local economy but also offered attendees a unique shopping experience, with a variety of goods and crafts available.

Moving forward, supporting local businesses in the communities where we host competitions remains a priority for us at IGA. We believe in fostering strong partnerships that benefit everyone involved—from athletes and spectators to the local businesses that enrich our event experiences. By continuing to collaborate with small businesses, we aim to create thriving and sustainable communities that celebrate both athleticism and entrepreneurship.

We look forward to expanding this initiative in future events and encourage other organizations to join us in supporting local economies wherever possible. Together, we can make a positive impact that extends far beyond the competition floor.

Thank you to all the local businesses in Aylesbury for their participation, and to our attendees for supporting these invaluable community members.
