As we are preparing for Asaba, at least 15 members of TIG Club will represent their states in Asaba come 28th of November to the 10th of December 2022.

“The growth of gymnastics, we have been able to train coaches from the street and they are now professional coaches, we take our time not to teach them only gymnastics but also coaching gymnastics.

“Most of our coaches are already out of the country like now, we have a coach who is now in Australia.

“We train gymnasts from grassroots to competitive level and also most of our gymnasts have represented the country and they are in the national team.”
