I don't think I was recording.  My apologies to the world.


March 25th Acro Training Camp Day 3

Here are a bunch of great photos showcasing 
Acrobatic Gymnastics in Ontario.

Mississauga Gymnastics Club and the Oakville Gymnastics Club are working hard to produce some of the top acrobatic gymnasts in the province and country. With help from the Roisin Kavanagh of the Irish Gymnastics Federation many corrections, changes and ideas about how to better show routines and pick up extra marks on a routine were shared.
A big thank you to Roisin for all of her help.

Thank you to Zacada Circus School and the Oakville Gymnastics Club for hosting the training camp.

Thank you to all of the athletes who participated int eh camp.

Thank you to all of the clinicians who helped out at the camp as well:
Dave Harris
Alexa Barac
Jane Kirwan
Kosta Zakharenko
Niki Lavoie
Ren Torosyants
Don Holmes

This camp was not the largest but was the first real training camp with athletes arriving in pair/groups and working on bettering their acro routines rather than just a sport introduction to Acrobatic Gymnastics in Ontario.
