Victoria Day Long Weekend and Nationals Week Training

There will me a modified training schedule for all MAG groups for Victoria Day weekend (Saturday May 18th to Monday May 20th),  and the week of National Championships (May 17th to 25th) which are being held at Carleton University.

Practices for all MAG groups have been canceled for the evenings of Wednesday May 22nd and Thursday May 23rd so that Tumblers can have a strong presence to cheer on Tyler Glavind (Open National - Wednesday @ 7 pm) and Eric Gauthier (Youth National - Thursday @ 1 pm) while they compete. Thursday night will also be a great chance to see the best of what Canada has to offer when the Senior High Performance men compete - that competition starts at 6:30 pm.

There is still a need for volunteers to aid in running the competition. Should you have any availability and wish to help out please contact Karl (kbalisch@tumblers.ca), or visit the Volunteer Registration Page on the National Championships website. Help make this event a success!
