Highly recommended is the summer gym camp owned and operated by two Olympians, John Macready and John Roethlisberger. Great guys, great staff. They know how to have fun.

LOVE – Cirque du Soleil
The new Beatles show which I knew as “Le Boys” previews June 2 in Vegas.
A cast of 60 international artists. Using the master tapes at Abbey Road studios. A custom-built theatre at The Mirage featuring 360Ëš seating, panoramic video projections and surround sound.
Sounds like a huge hit to me.
House Gymnastics
A cross breed of yoga, breakdancing, climbing and gymnastics in a domestic setting.

The best website for settling those arguments about who won what at major international gymnastics competitions.
Canadian Men’s Gymnastics Team
The boys from Calgary, Canada are on a roll.
They won the Commonwealth Games last month. And now stepped up to defeat the States, China and Korea at Pacific Alliance in Hawaii. That’s a first.
CONGRATULATIONS!
In fact, they were only 0.2 away from Olympic Champions Japan. (They need to improve Rings.)
History in the making! Silver medal for the Men’s Team at the Pacific Alliance Championships
Olympic Floor champion Kyle Shewfelt reminded the world that he is still the man to beat. He brought home gold on Floor and Vault. In fact, Canada and China split the available individual gold medals.
Alberta Gymnastics Rec Retreat
The second annual Alberta Gymnastics Rec Retreat was a blast. People who love recreational gymnastics are some of the most fun, most energetic, I know.
The whole weekend was super. But the most memorable part was not my presentation on Coach Team Building. It was the high ropes course.
See 50 more photos of the Recreation Retreat by jumping to the permanent webpage in Rick’s travelogue archive.

At the Gymnastics Alberta annual retreat for recreation leaders, coaches were asked to climb a wobbly telephone pole and jump for a slippery trapeze.

Rick McCharles – consultant for Cirque du Soleil
Cirque has 12 shows worldwide and is more popular than ever. Over 7 million people will see a performance this year.
Cirque du Soleil has 2,400 employees and is hiring every day. I am contracted with Cirque as a travelling consultant helping them find the most talented gymnasts, divers and “extreme sport” athletes in the USA. Coaches tell me there is a big demand as Cirque continues to expand.
I am proud to be even a small part of an organization like the Cirque du Soleil.
