2017 Ollerup nominations are now open.
What is Ollerup?
Ollerup is a school for Gymnastics based in Denmark. NZ students normally do tumbling or TeamGym, but Rhythmic is also an option. One of the school’s main focus areas is to provide knowledge and skills to become trainers and leaders in a voluntary organisation. Sports, especially gymnastics, are thus not considered as an aim in itself, but rather as a means of education, aiming at making the students more harmonious human beings.
