Back for it’s 2019 edition is our popular Santa’s Little Helper list!
With Christmas time fast approaching, we often get many questions as to where the best places for Santa and his elves to find home gymnastics equipment, grips or leotards that aren’t always available in Santa’s workshop. So we have put together a Santa’s Little Helper list to help them out. The websites listed below are tried and trusted websites, recommended by our gymnasts and their families as well as the staff at Kilkenny Gymnastics Academy and our sister club Sugarloaf Gymnastics.
KGA Girls Leotards
KGA leotards are custom made by Quatro, the official and reputable leotard partner of both Gymnastics Ireland and British Gymnastics, for KGA. Size charts can be found here. Currently we only provide sleeveless leotards as these are the most popular style.
