The story of US gymnast Kyra Berry, 14, is followed in Gymnastics Academy: A Second Chance as she competes for a scholarship to an Australian gymnastics academy.
Plot Summary
Summary of the Plot Kyra Berry is invited by Maddy to Coreega Gymnastics Academy for a three-month trial, which will determine whether or not she is selected for a scholarship at the academy, after she lost all of her scholarships due to a serious accident. The Academy provided five Australian and one foreign scholarship.
Kyra initially meets the other gymnasts on her first day at the academy. Some of them accept her, while others do not. When she does her performance, she realises that her prior injury has not fully healed. She performs worse as a result. She begins dedicating more time to practise and receives assistance from her coach, Jaimie, and Maddy. She ultimately bounces back.
Maya keeps track of the extra assistance Kyra has been receiving from the coaches and uses it as ammunition against her among the other pupils. Tess accuses Maddy of favouritism as a result. Kyra is informed by Maddy that she will no longer be continuing her extra training and she apologises.
One of the academy’s female students, Li, begins to experience stress as a result of pressure from her family to improve her overall performance. Kyra makes the decision to intervene and assist her as the stress begins to negatively impact her gymnastics performance. Li’s mother removes her from the school as a result of Kyra’s miscalculation. Kyra makes up for it by persuading Li’s mother to allow her to stay.
Dylan begins to like Kyra, and when he invites her out for a movie, Scarlett becomes envious of her. In front of the entire class, she makes an attempt to humiliate Kyra. The soccer squad from the academy agrees to play in a friendly game with the gym class. Kyra is hurt during the match by Scarlett.
As her knee steadily heals, Kyra is put in a team for the upcoming internal tournament with Tess and Scarlett. Jamie helps the squad use their strength as they struggle to cope.
The guest judge at the competition warns everyone that any requests for reviews will incur a 500 dollar cost. Scarlett offers to pay the sum of money necessary to evaluate Kyra’s performance and raise her grades.
Kyra’s mother advises her to stay in Australia and not to worry about her father having a heart attack, which makes it difficult for Kyra to concentrate on her friendships or gymnastics. Maya uses it against her, upsetting Scarlett and causing the duo to fall apart.
Maddy struggles to balance her roles as a coach, a gymnast, and a dating life. Kyra assists Jaimie with training the team while she takes a break to deal with it.
Maddy comes back after proposing to her lover. With only one week until the national championship, everyone on the team is under pressure. Maya defected to the rival team and impersonated Kyra in her routine. The Academy calls Maddy to remind her that in order to be eligible for the scholarship, the foreign applicant must place among the top 5 national competitors; else, the programme would be terminated.
On the morning of the contest, Kyra creates a new routine. Her mother gives her a call. She explains that the call was cut off owing to network problems since her father needed to run to the hospital.
What happens to Kyra’s father?
Following Kyra’s performance, her mother clarifies the situation and explains that he had to dash to the hospital for a last-minute appointment since he was running behind schedule.
Due of the academy’s distance from her Minnesota home, Kyra begins to worry about her parents and decides not to stay there. Jaimie begs her parents to visit her in Australia so she can explore her life as a gymnast at the Coreega Academy and learn how to quit worrying.
What happens to Maya?
On the premise that she would receive her scholarship there if she defeated everyone from Coreega, Maya defected to the rival team.
She wins the second place but is unable to receive the scholarship because Kyra placed first, even though the routine was stolen from her.
The coaches urge Maya to accept the foreign scholarship after Kyra declines it because she meets all the requirements and it will rescue the programme.
Did Kyra win the scholarship?
Kyra won the national competition, but she declines the scholarship since it would prevent her from staying in Australia.
However, the scholarship had already been given to Maya to safeguard the programme when Kyra initially refused, despite her parents’ efforts to persuade her to stay.
As Kyra’s mother was born in Australia, Scarlett invites her to apply for dual citizenship in exchange for giving up her scholarship, which Kyra accepts.
