Merry Christmas to all of our amazing families. May you and your families enjoy a safe holiday and we look forward to seeing you all in 2021!

Thank you to all of our coaches who attended our Virtual Christmas Party! ‘Twas the night of appreciation of coaches for Christmas By: Coach TC & Coach Jaime ... MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! ‘Twas the practice before Christmas, when all through the gym Not a preschooler was stirring, not even a Tim! The grips and trampoline shoes were hung sadly with care, In hopes that gymnastics would soon resume there. The coaches were prancing with anticipation full speed that Jaime and TC were bound to succeed. And TC in her jammies and Jaime in her Christmas hat Resided to settle down for the lock down, that’s that. When out on the horizon there rose such a clatter, We sprang from our desks to see what ‘twas the matter. Away to the scene we sprinted like Kelty, To open the doors, and let out the smelty. The new lights on the mats with the new fallen dust, Implied the ending to a lockdown is a must. When what to our wondering thoughts should approach But entering the gym came each and every coach. Now Meagan, now Bianca, now Jorja, now Sidney! On Caitlin, on Aby, on Cassia, on Noelle! Now Onaya, now Katelyn, now Braelynn, now Marggie! On Deb, on Cameron, on Jolie, on April, on Jenna, now Christine! To the trampoline, to the vault, to beams and even the wall, To the tumble track, to the floor, to the bars, dash away, dash away, dash away all! As anticipation arises before classes can fly, When we all meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. So over to the coach office everyone flew To grab their class lists and attendance sheets too! And then, in a twinkling I heard on the track, The pitter and patter of each little tiny pack. As Jaime and TC drew their heads around, There comes coach Colette coming in with a bound. She was dressed all in glitter, from her head to her toes, Ready for action and striking a pose! A bag full of chalk flung on her back Sat down for a long break, and a chocolatey snack. The coaches how they stretched, their muscles so merry, The kids entered gym like a twinkling fairy. Their ponytails held up by a bow, And in came the boys, all in a glow. Water bottles held tight in the crook of their teeth, And gym bags over their shoulders like a sigh of relief. Come on over said Kelty, with a welcoming wave We will learn some new tricks and teach you, to be brave! With everyone there, we know we are ready, to open the gym, and break out confetti! So thanks Coaches, for being such a dream, For being who you are, the best gosh darn team!! Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

December 14, 2020 Dear Gymnastics Participants and Parents, Cochrane Gymnastics Centre is working to make sure that our athletes and families stay safe, and that we are adhering to the new Alberta Health Services restrictions that will extend until at least January 10, 2020. Although these new regulations have been put into effect by the province, we are still continuing to plan for our upcoming winter programs, and are expecting to be able to resume operations as soon as the... restrictions are lifted. We will keep in communication with all of our Cochrane Gymnastics community, especially if there is an extended delay to our start date. At this time we are hopeful that we will be able to schedule make-up classes to account for time missed and that you will still receive the originally planned number of classes for the winter session. We will of course update you as we can and appreciate your patience. For current updates and information, please visit our web page active-living.ucalgary.ca
