I'm a Mom to a level 7 gymnast near Toronto and thought it was time I introduced myself. I have been a long time visitor to CB and have wanted to chime in on many posts but wasn't quite ready to jump in. I guess I'm ready now! I'm not sure I want to disclose too much about me or my...
What a weekend... a 7 hour drive took 9 hours - the roads were horrific. I am so glad that my dd went with her coaches 2 days earlier. Trois Rivieres is right in the middle of Montreal and Quebec City. Thankfully my dh and youngest came with me. They went skiing while I went to the meet...
2 girls from my DD's gym will be competing, and we are wondering if anyone knows if there are links for live scoring or live streaming of the Novice events. Thank you.
I'm trying to wrap my head around how the levels here in Australia match up to those in Canada so I can figure out what programs I'm looking for in a gym. I have 2 children that do gym. My son is doing normal level 3 here in Australia. He is 9 and trains 9-12 hours a week. My daughter is 6 and...
Well it looks like they finally found a host for both Elite Canada in January and Nationals in May...
Lots of driving to Quebec this year...
Gymnastics Canada has confirmed dates and location of Nationals. This is way, way late compared with normal.
Artistic Nationals – Gatineau, Quebec – May...
I finally finished my video... so proud that my daughter made the score for Elite Canada. She will be competing in "no location yet" in February 2015.
She had an amazing meet....so many first.. her geinger, 1 1/2 off beam, switch ring, yurchenko layout, double back and double pike.... it was...
We are flirting, and not seriously thinking about it because my kids are super happy at their current gym, of moving to Canada where my husband is from. However, I am not sure how MAG works in Canada. Do they have booster clubs? Do they have college teams? Do Canadians do well at supporting the...

The Canadian Gymnastics Teams held preparation camps prior to the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. The objectives of these camps were to conduct final training prior to the Games, as well as to give the coaching personnel the opportunity to evaluate the athletes prior to heading to Glasgow...
My province is switching to the JO system next competition as opposed to CPP. My current coach is pretty clueless about the requirements, but thinks that I would compete either level 7 or 8 since I was going to compete P4 this coming winter.
What are the requirements for these two levels, and...
I've been curious about this for a while. On the American side there are so many high profile gyms and coaches producing extremely talented gymnasts, I was wondering if Canada had clubs that were considered "the best" and what makes them the best? Is it coaching, gym philosophy, luck into...
The other thread about qualifying Elite in the US contained so much interesting information! I was wondering how the process works in Canada? Anyone know?
A coach at DD's gym in the USA is moving to Canada to coach at a different gym. DD is curious if the Canadian systems works as the coach mentioned Provencials (I think I spelled that right?) as a compulsory system. Can you explain how this works?Thanks.
