Clearly if there is too much time between the competition and the awards kids and parents can't control themselves and they start playing on the equipment. Good thing we brought our own Emergency 1st Response Team with us.

Congratulations to everyone who competed at the Scarborough Gym Elite's Retro Summer Invitational.

I am missing results for the B's and A's. If you can let me know via email I will post those results here too.

Scarborough Gym Elites Directions

Here is a map to the Scarborough Gym Elites gymnastics club. If you simply take the 401 East past the 400 and the DVP you eventually get to Morningside. Go south until Coronation Drive, turn left and follow it around until you find the gym on your left-hand side (it's in an industrial park).

Here is the schedule and the registration list for the Scarborough Gym Elites Retro Summer Trampoline & Tumbling Invitational. Please be sure to check the level your tumbler is registered in so that you can arrive on time for this competition.

Schedules JULY AUGUST SEPT

(click on the image to see it in a larger format)

Please note that the September schedule is a DRAFT schedule and may be altered slightly in the fall.

The schedules have been given intense consideration. Changes to the times to suit your own personal schedule will not be possible.

Yes, we realize that you are getting these schedules only three weeks before the summer begins but they are very similar to last summer and with all schedules archived here on the blog you were able to see what our previous schedules were like in the past.

Remember you are expected to attend at least 50% of all summer training. If you are unable to participate in the program due to scheduling please let us know but it is unlikely that accommodations will be possible. We have a long waiting list for the program and we have taken more than our program model allows in order to provide as many athletes with the opportunity to be part of our tumbling program.

We are happy to say that all tumblers who were part of the 2010/2011 season who were seeking a spot on the 2011/2012 Tumbling Team were provided with a space. Congratulations to all on making the team and thank you for your cooperation, effort and support over the past year.

Athlete Packages will be available for pick up this evening at the OGC.

The OGC tumblers didn't get a metion in the local paper but at least they looked good on the front page. The rest of us just tried to take in the down east experience and enjoy some Cows Icecream.

Congratulations to all of our OGC tumblers who competed at the 2011 Canadian National Championships.

Jonathan Meehan captured his second SILVER medal this year as a Senior tumbler. Jonathan captured a surprise silver medal at Elite Canada in Trois Rivieres earlier this year and was the favourite to capture another at the National Championships in PEI. After the preliminary round he was in a tie for fourth but managed to delivered two solid final routines in order to move up to second. Alex Seifert of Alberta sits miles ahead of the Senior Men's field performing huge passes with ease as the veteran senior. Congratulations to Jonathan on his successful National Championships. Jonathan is vying for a spot on the Senior Tumbling Team for the up coming World Championships in Birmingham, England.

Michael Chaves was able to keep the Youth National Gold in the OGC. Last year the OGC's Jonathan Meehan captured the Youth Men's Tumbling Gold. This year the competition was really close with Michael just edging past Sean Robertson of the Burlington BG's. Michael managed to capture the score he needed to qualify to the World Age Group Championships as well. Congratulations to Michael, National Champion.

Luke Mackinnon captured the Novice 15+ Men's tumbling GOLD in Charlottetown successfully defending his 2010 title by delivering his strongest performance of the year. Luke is finally back on top of his game and laying down some of the most solid tumbling in the country. Luke also managed to make the qualification score to attend the World Age Group Championships. Luke competed for Canada when he was 12 years old and is looking forward to returning to the world stage as a 16 year old. Way to go Luke!
Jack McGarr, had a strong prelims and gave his finals passes just a little too much gas taking a fall on a double back pike. Despite finding himself off the podium Jack is determined to make a strong come back at the next Canadian National team qualification event in July.
