Christmas Show
The annual Tumblers Christmas Show will take place the evening of Sunday December 16th, starting at 4:30 pm. As always it will be a fun filled evening where each group in Tumblers' pre-comp and competitive programs will perform a group routine showcasing some of the skills they've learned this year. There will also be some fun group activities organized, a special performance by the coaches, a visit from the jolly man in red who will hand out treats and take pictures with the kids, and light refreshments at the end of the night.
Groups who train Sunday will still have practice the day of the show; your son's coach will communicate any schedule changes to you ahead of time. Athletes who do not normally train on Sundays should arrive no later than 3:45, however spectators may not be allowed in the gym at this time. Spectators will also be asked to take off their boots and place them in a plastic bag to take with them into the gym to avoid congestion in the main lobby.
If you know that your son will be unable to attend the show please communicate this to his coach as soon as possible so that his absence can be planned for accordingly. If you have any further questions please contact David.
Check out the MAG 15 group's show from last year's event!

From the Horse's Mouth
Fresh off Georges St-Pierre's win at UFC 154 last night I thought I'd share a video that's been floating around the "gymnastics internet" for a couple of years now regarding GSP's inclusion of men's gymnastics training in his regimen.
George St-Pierre's unique training regimen - YouTube Video
"Gymnasts are the best athletes in the world. They can do movements nobody in the world can do." - GSP
"If you take ten athletes from ten different sports, and make each athlete play each one of the sports, on average the guy who's going to do the best in all the sports is the gymnast." - GSP's Trainer
Thanks to Elke Reissing for passing this along.

Last Call for Tracksuits
New provincial/national athlete tracksuits will be ordered this week, so a final call is being put out for anyone who needs a new track suit ordered to please let David know by Wednesday evening. Tracksuits will only be ordered once this year, so if you think that your son may outgrow his before the end of the competitive season now is the only time to purchase a new one before next season.
On that note, anyone who has an old tracksuit or pre-comp/interclub jogging suit in good condition that they wish to sell please contact David (dsmith@tumblers.ca) with the sizes of the garments so that a list of available pieces can be assembled.

Yoga Tune Up® Therapy Ball Workshops
Tumblers is very pleased to have Yoga expert Todd Lavictoire willing to
share his knowledge with our members here at Tumblers. Many of our athletes
have experienced a Yoga Tune Up® Therapy Ball System workout already and make good use of the system on their own. The Yoga Tune Up® system can be used for post injury rehab, "prehab" injury prevention, or simply as a means of easing those post workout out aches and pains and speeding up muscle recovery. We
have some upcoming opportunities for all members to join us for a workshop
together with or without their child.
The Yoga Tune Up® Therapy Ball System provides targeted self-massage trigger point therapy by using specially designed high grip rubber balls and focused movement routines that help penetrate through layers of skin and muscle to massage deeply into your high tension areas. Simply put, this is a self massage technique that provides the numerous benefits of a massage therapy session. Consistent use of the balls also helps to prevent injuries and helps to better understand the body.
During the one hour workshop you will be introduced to the theory behind the Yoga Tune Up® Therapy Ball System, you will learn the movement routines that will be most beneficial to you and your child athlete, and you will keep one set of Tune Up Balls to bring home with you.
Some of our MAG competitive groups will be attending the workshops on the dates and times listed below. If you are interested in attending one of the sessions, either joining your son or attending by yourself, please register at the front office.
Friday, October 19th - 5:30 pm to 6:30pm or 6:40 to 7:40pm (MAG 16 A)
Friday, November 2nd - 5:30 pm to 6:30pm or 6:40 to 7:40pm (MAG 16 B)
Friday, November 23rd - 5:30 pm to 6:30pm (MAG 15) or 6:40 to 7:40pm
$20 per adult, accompanying Tumblers athletes attend free of charge
$25 for non-members
$15 for adults who have their own Yoga Tune Up Therapy Balls
Additional Tune Up Balls are available for purchase at the Tumblers Boutique for $15.
There is no fee for athletes who will be participating with their group.
This is a great opportunity to work with your child on something that is mutually beneficial!
The workshops will take place in the upstairs dance studio. Participants should dress in athletic wear and should be prepared to be on the matted floor.
