Oakville Gymnastics Club Women's Program

Elite Canada is here!!!

2009-12-08T07:16:00.000-08:00

Elite Canada is here......... This meet has become a real joint effort from all Oakville Gymnastics Club families. Elite Canada is a Gymnastics Canada event, but boy, without all our families contributions, we wouldn't be able to host such an event!

On behalf of the coaches involved, we really thank everyone for all their hard work and efforts towards this weekend!

The "press" was in last night taking pictures of the girl's competing and talking with National Team members. There was an exciting feeling amongst the girl's, they were so proud and ready to "show their stuff ". Part of the experiences "along the way ", we always encourage the girl's to enjoy and remember.

The girl's and coaches have worked so hard to get to this point, lets enjoy the ride!!!

Best of Luck and a safe competition to the 12 girl's competing!

Please be aware of the training changes and cancellations for this week for all members, a letter went out last week! Please see me if you need a new one.

Also, the Christmas training schedules are going out this week!

Bye for now,

Susan Manjak
