Rising Stars & Provincial Camp

All registered Provincial competitive athletes age 8 and up (1996 and later) are invited to the Provincial Level Training Camp on November 7-9, 2008 at Bramalea Gymnastics Club (25 Rutherford Road South, Unit 6, Brampton).

This will also serve as the Rising Stars Selection camp for competitive male gymnasts ages 8 to 12 years old (1996 to 2000) who are not on the Canadian National Team. All members of Dave's 16 hour group, Sam Tziougras and Michael Buczkowski are eligible for the Rising Stars program.

We will not be staying at the hotel due to the proximity of the event. Therefore, cost for the Camp is $70 for Rising Stars candidates (see above paragraph) and $100 for all others. Please make cheques payable to Oakville Gymnastics Club. Register for the Camp with the Front Desk (Agnes et al).

Club registration for both camp is due by November 1.

Competitive Attire

By now, all boys should have been sized for competitive attire and the new club tracksuit.

Please have your son try on their competitive uniform. If you are unsure of the fit, have your son show their coach. If you need new attire please contact me (Greg) ASAP with your requirements. 

Jagwear will sew the singlets and shorts. Please let me (Greg) know what you need. All Jagwear orders must be in by October Tuesday October 14th. Jagwear is very busy due to the fact that there are two girls qualifiers the same weekend as ours.

Our long pants are from ‘GK’ and may be ordered through the club. We have sizers in stock. All GK orders must be in by Thursday October 16th.

All eight and nine year old gymnasts do not need to wear long pants in competition. I encourage you to save your money and let the boys focus on their competition and not on changing from longs and socks to shorts and no socks and back again.

Please be sure to put your son's name on their attire. It all looks the same and several clubs will be wearing navy shorts made by Jagwear.
