Re-Tryouts

Everyone who is presently in a Developmental or Provincial Tumbling group is required to attend the

Re-Tryouts on Wednesday, June 3rd.

Developmental Tumblers from Amanda's, Ellie's or Ricardo's groups are expected to be at the Re-Tryout between 5:00 and 7:00pm.

Provincial Tumblers from Don's and Dave's groups are expected to be at the Re-Tryouts between 7:00 and 9:00pm.

No alternate dates for Re-Tryouts will be provided so if there is a soccer, or baseball or anyother conflict please note that this is the one time where you really need to come to the gym.

We have been evaluating you over the course of the year. The elements we are looking at include: attitude, behaviour, dedication, performance, skill development, parental willingness to participate and be involved when requested.

The Re-Tryout allows us to see all of the athletes together and to make direct comparisons between athletes from different groups. As well it allows Niki and myself to see all of those athletes that are in groups that we ourselves do not coach directly. We will be doing a direct evaluation of tumbling skills and physical fitness during the Re-Tryouts.

Most athletes will find themselves back on the team. Some athletes will not. This is part of being in competitive sport. Sometimes athletes will be cut from a team or program after several years of participation. Please understand this. We believe that all of the athletes in our program are talented individuals and will be able to find success in other aspects of their athletic careers even if it is not in tumbling in our program.

If you find your child NOT invited back next year you may request a meeting with Niki and/or I to discuss our decision but most decisions are final.

We thank everyone for participating and making the OGC Power Tumbling Team one of the strongest tumbling clubs in Canada. We are in fact the largest tumbling club in Canadian history.

Congratulations to everyone this year and all the best in the future.
