April Tumbling Training Schedule

APRIL SHOWERS

Here is the April training schedule for the Oakville Gymnastics Club's Tumbling Program.

Please note that we have the 2nd Ontario Cup and the 3rd Ontario Cup both in April.

We are still working out who will be supply coaching around those competitions.

Please also note that we will have training on Easter Sunday, April 16th.  Please let you coaches know if you will be away on that Sunday.  We might be able to put a few groups together on that weekend to save the coaches from needing to be at the gym for the full day.

***UPDATED APRIL 15TH ***

Please note the following scheduled times for the gym and viewing area to be closed over the week of March Break.

Friday, March 10th Regular hours

Saturday, March 11th the Gym will be Closed OGC is hosting the Masters Gymnastics Championships from 5:00pm to 9:00pm if you wish to come watch or compete

Sunday, March 12th The gym and viewing area will be open from 9:00am to 6:00pm.

Monday, March 13th to Friday, March 17th The viewing area will be open from 9:00am to 5:30pm.  Our Tumbling classes will run past the gym closing times.  Athletes will be expected to stay in the gym with the coaches but Parents/Family/Friends will not be permitted to stay in the viewing area or lobby.

Saturday, March 18th and Sunday, March 19th the gym is closed.

Monday, March 20th Regular Gym hours resume.

If your child has class that extends past the time that the viewing area stays open or starts after thew viewing area is closed here is the procedure for pick up and drop off:
Coaches will usher the athletes out of the gym, you may pick them up at the sliding glass doors at the front of the gym.

Coaches will bring athletes in from the sliding doors at the start of the class.  
If you are late or need to collect your child early please inform the coaches so that they are aware of this.
If you are late or need to pick your child up and it is a last minute change you will need to go around to the back door of the gym and bang loudly to get our attention.  Come to the door at the back of the gym by the trampolines.  There is usually an athlete in that corner who will hear you.

Again, please let your coaches know if you will be away over the March Break so that we can combine classes if there are only a few bodies that will be attending.

Please give the March Tumbling Training schedule a look as there are a few changes.

Have a wonderful and safe March Break.
