A group of children aged between 5 and 11 are photographed training hard for their dream of becoming future champions, April 14, 2012, in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

More than 20 children are gathered under Coach Liu, who is responsible for the category of gymnastics (there are other majors such as rhythmic gymnastics). The amateur school in which Liu works aims to prepare potential athletes for superior schools. The children are average pupils who train everyday after school. They take extra lessons each Saturday afternoon.
