Provincial Championships and Skills Meets

First, I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate our boys for a strong showing at the men's provincial championships, The Ontario Cup, held in Burlington on the weekend of April 16th. Tumblers had a number of athletes place in the top six in the all-around of their respective categories, as well as quite a few strong showings on the individual apparatus. Full results and scores can be found here.

Tumblers also qualified three athletes to the Eastern Canadian Championships to be held in Halifax May 5th through to May 8th. I would like to extend a special congratulations and wishes of good luck to Eric Gauthier, Brendan Lee, and Tyler Glavind - we know that the three of them will make Team Ontario and Tumblers proud.

With the competition season coming to an end for our provincial and national stream athletes, we in the MAG program are now in the process of gearing up for the "competitive season" for our pre-comp and kinder elite athletes. This year our pre-comp boys will be taking part in two non-competitive skills meets. This is a chance for them to show off all of the hard work they've put into training this year, as well as to experience the atmosphere of a real competition without the pressure of being scored and ranked. The first of these two events will take place over the weekend of May 28th and 29th at Ottawa Gymnastics Centre (exact time and date to be confirmed), and the second will be a grand finale event held at Tumblers on June 12th at 4 pm (more information will be sent home with the athletes as the event approaches). We look forward to seeing all our boys there and to take the opportunity to show what Tumblers' boys are made of.

March Break Training

A quick reminder that over the March break the training schedule is slightly modified. All pre-competitive and competitive groups will train as per usual during the week, but will have one of the two weekends off.

Pre-comps (Gabrielle, Abdou, and Karine's groups) will be off Sunday March 13th.

Competitive (Tara, David, and Nick's groups) will be off Sunday March 20th.

Please be sure to inform your son's coach of any planned absences, outside of the scheduled day off, over this week.

Thanks

Great First Qualifier!!!

Congratulations to all Tumblers boys on a great showing at the 1st Ontario Cup provincial qualifying meet.

Results are posted in lobby and can also be found on the OGF website.

A Call for Volunteers

Hi All! I'm looking for a few able bodied volunteers who are available to give around 3 hours of their time the evening of Saturday February 29th at 6 pm.  We will be installing a new set of rings over the pit, as well as taking care of a few smaller odd jobs that need doing around the gym. We'll need a minimum of 8 volunteers to get the rings up, and while I'm estimating 3 hours to get everything done for night more bodies do make for faster work.

If you are available and would like to get a couple of volunteer hours under your belt please put your name down on the sign-up sheet on the volunteer board in the lobby, or send an e-mail to dsmith@tumblers.ca to confirm your attendance.

Thanks!
