Team PEI Poem
Gymnastics is a physical and mental
drive to defy Gravity
You stand alone waiting for the signal to make your move to express your skill in every capacity
Compete alone or as team you show discipline and team work with amazing vitality
Team PEI we stand proud to say thank you for your efforts you are of the best blend from every nationality

GOOD LUCK to all TEAM PEI athletes travelling to Newfoundland this weekend for ATLANTIC CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!! PEI ROCKS!!!
As part of the Academy’s ongoing commitment to professional development, Sharon & Shelley recently travelled to Nova Scotia for a weekend training camp with several of our Pre-Novice National girls. The gymnasts had the opportunity to train at Dartmouth Titans with Head Coach, Susie Gallagher and also at Taiso Gymnastics with Head Coach, Shawn Healey. Working with two of the region’s top Level 4 coaches and their athletes was a great learning opportunity for all. Plans are underway to do similar training camps in the fall.
TEAM PEI gymnasts enjoyed a fun-filled training day at Island Gymnastics Academy as we prepared to travel to Newfoundland next week for Atlantic Championships, and to Quebec City in May for Eastern Canadians.
The team building event included athletes from four Island clubs and featured group relays and games, apparatus training, yummy food and even good luck cakes baked by Cassie & Annika!
Team spirit was high…. though not everyone was prepared to shave their head!
