Family Day

Due to the new "Family Day" statutory holiday, all training on Monday February 18th has been cancelled.

Enjoy the day with your family.

Woodstock Invitational Competition

We are excited to invite Eric and Kyle's 9 hour Pre-competitive teams to this season’s first invitational competition.

We will be attending the WGC (Woodstock Gymnastics Club) Centennial Cup. We have been given positive reviews from other clubs about their past experiences at this event and look forward to attending it for the first time.

We strongly recommend that ALL of the boys on the Team take part. Not only is it good preparation for the future, but it gives the boys a chance to show their families what they have been learning.

Last year, all the boys that attended the competitions had very good experiences. As coaches, we will be placing emphasis on performing routines to the best of their ability and encourage you to take a similar approach.

Your son was handed a hard copy of the memo after class on Friday January 18th. Please refer to that document for further information.

We will indicate to each family the appropriate competitive level and time of competition when the schedule is distributed.

Please confirm your intent to participate with Agnes in the main office with a $45 cheque payable to "Oakville Gymnastics Club" by Wednesday, January 23,

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask Eric or Kyle.
