Tumblers Classic Volunteer Oppourtinities
The annual Tumblers Classic WAG Invitational is quickly approaching, and we are now at the point where we are sending out a call for volunteers.The biggest fundraiser of the year is always our hosted competitions.
Once again we are hosting the annual Tumblers Classic March 21st to
23rd.
We realise that this year's meet coincides with the MAG qualifier in Kitchener-Waterloo the same weekend, but since volunteers are very important for the success of this event please make sure you have set aside time for that weekend or that you've found someone (friends of family, teenagers requiring volunteer hours for high-school, coaches, etc) who can complete your required volunteer hours in your place. We're giving priority to families with athletes in the MAG program to secure their volunteer slots via online sign-up before we post the sign-up sheets in the lobby
Below you will find a link to the online sign-up sheets which will only be available until Monday march 3rd, at which point they will be posted in the lobby. Please remember that you need to do two meet shifts per family as per the athlete agreement. You may only sign up for up to two meets shifts at this time. Should you wish to take more time slots in order to fulfill general volunteer hours, you may do so once the sign-up sheets have been posted in the lobby.
Please note: There are two pages of sign-up sheets included in the document workbook with tabs to navigate between the two to be found on the bottom of the screen.

Foam Roller Self Massage
A foam roller can be an athlete's best friends.
"Researchers measured things like muscle soreness, range of motion, and vertical leap 24, 48, and 72 hours after the hard workout.
By all measures, the foam-roller group fared better in the days after their hard workout. They not only had less soreness at all times, but their soreness peaked 24 hours after the workout, while muscle soreness peaked 48 hours after the workout in those who didn't foam roll. The foam-roller group also performed better in tests of vertical leap, range of motion, and muscle contraction.
All of these findings suggest that the post-workout foam rolling helped to speed recovery. In theory, this should allow a higher level of training." (Foam Rolling as a Recovery Tool Following an Intense Bout of Physical Activity)
Foam roller self massaging is quick and easy to do.
"Another great application of the foam roller is on over used quadriceps muscles (quads), hamstrings, and calves. Giving yourself post workout massages through rolling is a great way to facilitate faster recover. As shown in our foam rolling video, don’t over do it. 3 up and 3 down is more than enough for young muscles. Even during therapy, it’s more important to be consist with 3 up and 3 down technique over 30 days, than it is to do 30 up and downs in one day." (GymnastCare.com)
When used in conjunction with Yoga Ball therapeutic self-massage on the upper extremities an athlete can give themselves a full body massage for recovery.
