Back for it’s 2019 edition is our popular Santa’s Little Helper list which has been running since 2016!
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 Sugarloaf Gymnastics.
