Athlete of the month!

The coaching staff would like to apologize in the lateness of this posting. With tour selection and then the Holidays, we didn't get as much time as we would have liked to attack this posting! Congratulations to the selected athletes!

November 2009
Tumbling: Sydney Brown

Sydney finished off what can only be described as a phenomenal season with a 4th place finish at the 2009 World Age Group Championships. She was Canada's most consistent athlete in training and competition which is what led to such fantastic results!

Trampoline: Nick Bonnay

Nick, who is a Provincial C trampolinist, has made a lot of improvements in regards to his height and form while completing his trampoline routines. He seems to be improving on a daily basis!

December 2009
Tumbling: Jasmine Ellis

Jasmine hit 4 great passes at this months tour selection where she placed 2nd in the Novice 10-14 category! She was consistent from start to finish competing some new passes and a new skill - dbl pike - with incredible accuracy!

Trampoline: Ian Phillips

Ian performed a brand new d.d. record and new skills in his first ever national level competition where he placed 5th! He seems to be settling into the national category and has high aspirations to climb even higher this competitive season!

Double mini: Jelisa Joncas

Jelisa won the 2009 Tour event in Provincial A dbl mini! She achieved it by nailing 2 brand new passes with phenomenal execution. It was a great way to start the next competitive season!

Poll Results!!

If you answered 3, you are correct! Gymnastics Canada's tumbling program has only medaled 3 times in World Championship history. In 1996 the Women's team won a bronze medal. And then at the most recent Worlds the women's team once again earned a bronze along with an individual bronze by Ashley Speed. Emily Smith and Jordan Sugrim were part of the Bronze medal effort for Canada.

Parent Meetings - competition

Hi Parents!

I hope you all had a chance to relax and enjoy the Holiday season! With the competition season quickly approaching I thought a meeting detailing the events we are participating in as well as the expectations would be a good idea. I will give each of you a list of the competitions at the meeting and briefly go through them with you. If you have any questions regarding meets and protocol, this will be the best place to ask them. Please see below for your scheduled time. It is important that you attend the appropriate time slot as the information will be geared directly towards specific levels.
