PROVINCIAL TRAINING CAMP


Okay, so you have heard that there is a Provincial Level Training Camp taking place December 7th to 9th at Futures Gymnastics Club in Mississauga. True enough.


And 'Yes' some OGC tumblers are attending.


Last year we opened this camp up to all Provincial tumblers as we had fewer bodies and more time on that specific weekend. Unfortunately this year we have some difficulties allowing our entire group to participate.


Niki has family commitments on the weekend of the training camp.


Both Niki and Don are clinicians this time around and do not have time to manage all of our tumblers.


We have 32 Provincial levels tumblers. Way too many to invite to a training camp that has a maximum of 60 bodies total.


Dave will be gone judging Men's Artistic in Ottawa the whole weekend.


It is just too much.


We have invited only the Provincial B's and A's to attend the Future's camp organized by Gymnastics Ontario. There are only three tumblers in the B and A categories and we have decided that as the younger tumblers move up they too will have the opportunity to be part of future training camps.


Since everyone does not get to go to Futures we have decided to run our own training camp. January 2nd and 3rd we will be running the OGC Provincial Tumbling Training Camp. I have lined up a couple of Guest Coaches to come and work with our talented little flippers. Please let me know if you or your athlete will be able to attend by sending me an e-mail or by posting a note in the comments section on this blog.


The January P Level Camp will be from 5:30 to 8:30pm on both the 2nd and 3rd.


It should be a blast.


Sorry that we can't take everyone to Futures. Maybe next year we will be able to handle taking everyone.
