Canadian Gymnastics Championships 2011

Happy Canada Day, July 1st.

I just toured the venue for next year with one of the key organizers, Jim Rand.

As Canada’s largest annual celebration of gymnastics, the Canadian Gymnastics Championships will bring over 900 participants from across the country. …

The Championships will be co-hosted at the Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre and the CARI Complex – MacLauchlan Arenas, located on the University of Prince Edward Island campus from May 23rd-28th, 2011.

Artistic MAG and WAG. Trampoline Sports: Tramp, Double-mini and Tumbling.

Artistic is hosted in a 21,000 sq ft gymnasium, the same venue used for Nationals 1994. Expect Marshalls to be strictly limiting access to the Floor as space is tight.

Trampoline and Tumbling will be happy, I think, in a big hockey arena. Lights will need to be raised for trampoline. The VIP area is in this building.

Awards have a nice space with a modern look.

The judging will be transparent as 3 courts will be made available for officials.

Though Charlottetown has a population of only about 33,000, everyone is confident that Jim and Lea Rand will put together an excellent Nationals.

Hotels will be at a premium, obviously. Book early.

PEI is one of the most beautiful spots in the world. I’m flying from Florida (home) to the Island (home away from home) for a vacation in just a few days…I can hardly wait.

I go to PEI every summer…maybe next year I will plan my trip around Nationals.

I was there for Nationals in 1994. Hard to believe it was 16 years ago…

I know Matt! 16 years ago! That was a great Nationals I recall – and the level 4 afterwards was awesome too!
