Summer and Fall schedule minor changes

Hi Acro Team,

I have posted here an updated schedule.  The Friday acro training in the summer has been moved to a morning time in order to provide you with a longer weekend.  If gym loading is too difficult, it might need to move back to the afternoon so that we can find some space in the gym.  We will know better after the first week but with the competitive programs taking different weeks off there should only be one or two Fridays where space might be a bit tight.

The Fall schedule has only changed by a half hour on the Monday, Age Group schedule so that the athletes can be done a bit earlier before coming in for a Tuesday morning training.

We have been slow to fill in the coaches for the 4 hour and Provincial groups as there has been some back and forth as to who would take on these groups.  We have our summer set but are still trying to solidify who will take the Provincial 1 6 hour group in the fall/winter/spring.

For the summer the 4 hour group will be coached by Katy and a new coach Alyssa.  Alyssa was a provincial level tumbler and an international level cheerleader.  Her experience in lifts and catches make her an ideal coach for this beginner level.  Alyssa will take over full responsibility for the group in the fall as Katy will be off to university.  Alyssa will be away for 4 weeks of the summer as she coaches for Woodward's Gymnastics and Cheerleading Camp in the USA.  

The Provincial 1 group will be coached by Katy for the Summer.  Again the fall/winter/spring coach is still to be verified.  We WILL have a coach but at this time we cannot say for certain who that will be.  As acro is still new in Canada finding coaches with Acro experience is almost impossible.

Mac Senior will be taking the Provincial 2, 9 hour group.  Mac is a former National level tumbler and is currently one of our best male acro bases.  He will be training in the Junior/Senior group hence the Provincial 2 group has to train around his training schedule.  Mac has been coaching the Acro Boys group with Don this past year gaining experience.  Mac is completing his level 2 coaching certification and learning about the specifics of acro from his coaches David and Jane.

We are still looking to possibly bring in a replacement for Serg so that we have an additional international coach with Acrobatic Gymnastics specific experience.  With so many competitions and events happening over the past 3 months time has been limited.  With a more relaxed schedule on the horizon finding the right person to add to our team will be a priority. 

More information on the Fridays at Wolfpack Cheer Force Cheerleading Club are to follow as we solidify the agreement we have with them.  More information to follow.  

Hope this update has been useful.

If you have questions, concerns, training conflicts, or you know the weeks that you will be away over the summer please contact via email as that is the easiest way for us to get back to you.

Thanks for your patience and commitment to the Acrobatic Gymnastics program as we get ready for the 2014/2015 acro season.

May Schedule

To see in larger format click on the image.

Here is the May 2014 Acrobatic Gymnastics schedule for the Oakville Gymnastics Club.

Please note that there are lots of special changes to the schedule and coaching, as there are several events going on this month.

May 2nd, 3rd and 4th Don, Jane and David will be at the Jeux FGQ in Montreal.  

Friday, May 2nd there are just no coaches around as all the older athletes who could supply for David are also gone to Montreal.  David will set a Make Up class for his Provincial 3 group at a later date to make up for the missed Friday, May 2nd class.

Monday, May 5th the Elite A's will train later from 6:30 to 8:30pm.

Wednesday, May 14th is Open Tryouts.  There will be NO regular training on that night as we need the coaches and the space to run the tryouts.  If you are currently in the Acro program you do not need to attend the Open Tryouts.  You will be assessed during your regular class time.

Monday, May 19th is Victoria Day.  There will be NO training on that day except for those partnerships that are preparing for their Canadian World Age Group Team Selection event later that week.

Wednesday, May 21st to Saturday, May 24th David and Jane will be away at the Canadian World Age Group Team Selection event in Gatineau with the OGC Acrobats who will be trying for a spot on the team.  

Summer Note:

The Acro program will be taking the weeks of 
July 7th to 11th 
and 
August 25th to 29th off.  

More summer and fall/winter/spring details to come shortly as we are trying to get information out earlier this year.  Please be patient.
