Provincial Videos

I am in the process of setting up videos for the girls who competed at provincials. I am missing some footage of some of the kids (I was judging/camera troubles) so if you have any footage please email or youtube them and then I can post them in the Video blog.

The Importance of Summer Camps

The end of the season is approaching fast and that means thinking about summer camps. Summer camps are probably the most important part of the competitive training. This is a chance for the girls to work on building their strength, working on skills that will potentially move them to the next level, etc. I will advise all athletes to attend as much training as possible. We are working on the schedule as you read this. We are hoping to get a few others clubs into our club this summer and perhaps checking out other gyms as well. More information to come soon!

Welcome!

Salta would like to welcome the following athletes to the women's competitive program!

Mackenzie- Gold Group
Olivia- Gold Group
Coutney- Silver Group
Allie- Level 1
Samantha- Level 1


WELCOME!!!!
