OPEN Tryouts for 2009/2010 Season


OPEN TUMBLING TRYOUTS
THURSDAY, JUNE 4TH

For those trying out:

If you are 8 years of age or younger you need to be at the gym for 7:00pm and will be tested until 8:00pm.

If you are 9 years of age or older you need to be at the gym for 8:00pm and will be tested until 9:00pm.

Please wear appropriate gymnastics attire. Baggy shirts and shorts are not good gym attire. Wear something form fitting and able to move with you.

We will be evaluating: attitude, listening skills, behaviour, physical ability and physical potential.

If you are selected to be part of the Oakville Gymnastics Club's Power Tumbling Team for the 2009/2010 Season you will be contacted by phone and invited to attend the Parent Meeting on the following Wednesday.

If you are NOT selected you will still receive a call and provided with one of several options: Invited to tryout again in the future when more skills are acquired, Invited to continue the recreational gymnastics or trampoline and tumbling classes, or we might suggest that tumbling is not a sport that your child's aptitudes are suited for.

Prerequisites: general strength and flexibility. Cartwheels, round-offs, and standing back handsprings are a great asset as many athletes who will be trying out for the team will have these skills or better; however, this does not prevent us from selecting individuals who have raw talent and appear teachable.

You will be supplied with more detailed program information at the Open Tryout.

Please wait to ask program questions until after the Tryout.
