Woodstock Invitational

The schedule for the competition is prepared and the boys are ready to show you their work!

What to Wear:
The boys must wear their normal training attire (gymnastics shorts and singlet).

What to Bring:
The boys should bring a tightly secured water bottle (to avoid spilling) and a small snack (preferably cut up fruit in a container – no products containing nuts). There may not be a place to put garbage so anything they bring should be easy to put back in their bag (a small sports bag/knapsack that is easy to carry).

Please arrive at the competition a minimum of 15 minutes prior to march-in.

Please see attached for schedule and club address. We also suggest that you bring a camera to capture the precious moments – however flashes are not permitted at competitions.

As coaches, we are encouraging the boys to focus on performing to the best of their ability and to have fun. We encourage you to take the same approach. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

We hope that everyone enjoys the experience!

Congratulations

Oakville male gymnasts returned home from Windsor last weekend a little heavier after competing in the Second Provincial / First National Qualifiers.

A competition that may be remembered as much for the journey to the competition as for the competitive performances due to a Winter snowstorm that made traveling to Windsor a somewhat hectic.

The Oakville Men’s Program won a total of 57 medals over the weekend with Nathan Bollinger (Level 1), Cory Paterson (Argo HP) and Matt Albrecht (Senior HP) winning their respective categories.

Apparatus gold medalists include; Adam, Kassam, Alex Danahy, Brad Schnurr (5), Cole Becker, Camden Palkovic, Cory Paterson (3), Eric Mariglia, Matt Albrecht, Matt Grinter (3), Nathan Bollinger (3), Robert Wilson and Sean Lord (2).

Other medal winning performances include; Chris Rome, Daniel Capstick, Jeremie Quek and Kieran Byrne.

Congratulations to all of boys!
