ABOUT US

POM Gymnastics was established in 2014 as a small initiative managed by parents at the Era Dorina Compound. In 2016, with the support of Gymnastics Australia and the World Gymnastics Federation, a formal program was launched in Papua New Guinea. Through Australian contacts, a school in Toowoomba generously donated nearly an entire gymnasium’s worth of equipment. The parents and committee of POM Gymnastics undertook fundraising efforts for the shipment of the equipment. Special thanks are extended to Total E&P PNG Ltd for their generous donation of 10,000 PGK, which contributed to the shipping costs to Port Moresby.

​

The success of POM Gymnastics is due to the efforts of many dedicated individuals. Each person involved has played a vital role in the development and growth of the sport, making it both accessible and thriving within the region. Through commitment and passion, POM Gymnastics has become an integral part of the local community, establishing a strong foundation for future generations of gymnasts.
