Institut national du sport du Québec

Following National Championships in Montreal, an advanced Canadian Gymnastics and Trampoline coaching course was hosted at the new INS facility in the 1976 Olympic Stadium.

Clinicians include Kelly Manjak, Denis Vachon, Keith Russell, Bev Dickinson, Tony Smith, J.F. Mathieu.

Coaches of Trampoline and Gymnastics mostly can’t believe Trampoline Parks can stay open. Why aren’t they sued into bankruptcy?
