HOLIDAY FUN EVENT
A tradition from the early years of the Island Gymnastics Academy is back for 2012! Our competitive families battled it out tonight in a series of fun fitness activities followed by a pot luck supper. We had close to 100 participants from all levels. Teams of one parent & one gymnast showed off their skills in long jump, “ski walk”, splits, shuttle run, etc. Fun, fitness & food!!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!
Island Gymnastics Academy Hosts 2nd Annual Harvest Classic
The Island Gymnastics Academy hosted its 2nd annual Harvest Classic competition Nov 23-24. Joining the Academy were clubs from across PEI including the St. Louis Gymnos, Victory Gymnastics, and the Summerside Saultos. The event marked the start of the competitive season with many gymnasts achieving the necessary scores to qualify for Team PEI events in 2013, including Atlantic, Eastern and Canadian Championships. Selina Mahajer in Tyro 3 of Island Gymnastics Academy posted the highest overall score of any girls category with an impressive 49.700.
“We had very strong scores from all levels, higher than we usually see at this point in the season. It looks really promising for our results in the region this year.” says GPEI Technical Director, Sharon Gareau.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL GYMNASTS AND COACHES!!

Busy weekend for Island Gymnastics Academy!!
We hosted a number of exciting events over the holiday weekend. Academy staff CJ Keliher and Nancy Ripley taught a two day NCCP Foundations course to coaches from across PEI. For participants, this course will lead to coach certification at the first level of the NCCP program. Congratulations to all coaches who attended!
The boy’s competitive program also held another regional training camp which included athletes from Summerside Saultos as well as Kingswood Gymnastics in Fredericton. Guest coaches included Trip Lewis, Men’s Head Coach at Kingswood and Kelly Thompson from St. FX University. Kelly is an Olympic level judge who frequently travels in the region to coach our top athletes. Kelly also found time to work with our competitive girls and assist with the Foundations course.
As part of the Year One training plan for the 2015 Canada Games, we also held a girl’s camp which included a practice competition and dance instruction with Galina Terentiev. Congratulation to Maddie, Paige, Kaylee, Annika and Alison on your great performances!
