Bounce and balance at Bon Soo with the Sault Ste. Marie Gymnastics Club
Got the winter blahs? Want to get active but find that your usual winter sports have been hampered by poor weather conditions? Spring into action at the Station Mall with the Sault Ste. Marie Gymnastics Club!
On February 6th, 2010, from 12:00 to 4:00 pm, the Sault Ste. Marie Gymnastics Club (SSMGC) will be hosting gymnastics fun at Station Mall in the Dennis Street Court (by Foot Locker). The gymnastics club will showcase recreational and competitive athletes, including members of the national team, in half hour demonstrations on the hour starting at noon until three pm. On the half hour, the fun is open to the general public for free mini-lessons and skills development on the balance beam, tumble-track, and mini-gym circuit.
Come watch athletes showcase their skills, while limbering up your muscles and learning a few new moves too. A sign-up sheet will be available at the mall for the free lessons, and people that visit and fill out a ballot have a chance to win a free membership to the spring session of recreational gymnastics (parent and tots up through adult gymnastics) or a birthday party for 10 children or less. The value of the prize is up to $150.
The Sault Ste. Marie Gymnastics Club is the non-profit organization where “dreams take flight”. Recreational gymnastics programs include day programs for schools, and gymnastics classes for all ages. March break and PD day camps are available to school age children and kids of all ages can also have their birthday party hosted at the Club.
A internationally-recognized competitive program at the SSMGC continues to foster and develop athletes in both women’s and men’s artistic gymnastics, and power tumbling. The next session of classes begins March 23rd, and registration opens on February 23rd. There is a class for everyone aged two and up that wants to improve fitness, flexibility, and strength while having a lot of fun.
