Gymnastics Ontario is pleased to offer this season's first Development Camp!

The goal of this development camp is to train and support development of our current and upcoming athletes and coaches towards the higher levels; Level 9 (11-14), Level 10 (12-15), Aspire, Novice, Junior.

Who is this camp for?
It is for athletes and coaches for networking, training opportunity, education sharing and development working at Aspire, Level 9 (11-14), Level 10 (12-15), Novice, Junior.

Want to know the new Aspire Program (Gems and Youth) program?
Learn from the experts as the clinicians are the lead and main contributors to this program.

Looking to learn how to develop or learn more on how to take your athletes to the next step?  
This camp isn't just for those who are already training and have athletes who are aspiring to the higher levels. Training for any level requires long term/big picture knowledge (ie. how to train and develop beyond Level 8 and the different pathway options to go as far as High Performance) or the short term of working specific skills. Regardless of where a coach or athlete is in their gymnastics journey there is always more to learn.

Are your athletes currently Level 9-10 and Novice and Junior High Performance and want training and collaborative opportunities outside your club/with other athletes in Ontario?
This camp is a great opportunity for athletes in the higher levels to train together, bond and build their gymnastics together.

Are you a coach just looking for more development and education? 
Coaches can attend this camp without an athlete (regardless of the level of athlete they currently coach) just to gain information, build their knowledge base and network.

Then this camp is for you - athletes and coaches!!
