Ready or not here we come!!!!



Not too long ago you would not have seen the name Oakville Gymnastics Club beside any athletes competing at Gymnix International.  What a difference a few short years can make.  Oakville now has the largest National Women's Program in the country and has 6 National team members representing Canada at Gymnix this coming weekend!!

Sabrina Gill, Elise Bolger and Jordyn Pedersen will represent Canada in the Junior Cup on Saturday and will be competing against teams from Russia, Great Britain, Belgium and Mexico!

Event finals for both groups are Sunday afternoon!!!

One of the greatest things about Gymnix is that gymnasts of all levels can participate.  It is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to feel a part of a large international meet! Also representing Oakville this weekend are:
