Alicia, who trains for eight hours every week, has been to a number of competitions and competed in the North West Rhythmic Gymnastics Competition gaining 3rd place with her Individual Ball Routine- meaning she achieved a personal best this year. Alicia trains with her coach, who puts the routines together, three times a week and is already looking forward to her next competition in February 2017.
