20 Executive Director Report The past year has been a successful year for Gymnastics PEI. Both the women s and the men s technical committees were very busy this year, completing training camps and skills clinics and competing in meets. Both programs continue to build their capacity with coaching and judging educations sessions. All clubs continue to be proactive in keeping their coaches trained and professional. The working group tasked with revising the organization s Policies and Procedures continued to meet this season. However, some timing issues have delayed the project and it is still a work in progress at this time. We have seen an increase in membership again this year, with all clubs adding new participants. Between competitive, recreational, tiny tots, camps, and birthdays, the options to participate in gymnastics are abundant in all areas of PEI. Our preschool programs continue to set the highest standard for Active Start programming. This year GPEI sent teams to Atlantics, Easterns, and Canadians bringing home many medals. At Atlantics PEI athletes brought home 4 all-around titles and team gold medals in Argo 6 and Level 3 under 13. Easterns proved a little tougher with 32 athletes attending. Four athletes on the men s side attended Canadians with Matt Gallant bringing home a silver medal in pommels in the National Open division, a first for Prince Edward Island. The Canada Games Advisory Committee continued to meet and the process continues to ensure a fair selection for the teams. Both the men s and women s teams were selected in late fall with full teams for both. Competition proved to be both again at the Canada Games but both team represented PEI well with Matt Gallant making the apparatus finals on the pommel horse. I would like to thank the GPEI board for their continued dedication to promoting gymnastic excellent across PEI. Submitted by Valerie Vuillemot Executive Director

21 Club Reports Summerside Saultos Gymnastics Annual Report Registration: Registration has been great for the season. Almost every class in our recreation program is full and we have had to add extra classes for certain age categories to keep up with demand. To go with our recreation program we have added extra competitive athletes bringing us to over 50 athletes in the competitive program. We project to be close to 300 athletes for the first term. Staff: Our staff remains the same as last year with some part time coaches taking on larger roles in our competitive program. Our older athletes are taking more classes in our recreation program which is great and is helping us develop our future competitive coaches. Fundraising: We have started our chocolate bar sale for this year. We have 200 boxes to sell which will net us a profit of $11,000 when complete. This will be our biggest fundraiser of the year with provincials and gym show being the other two. Facility: Our facility will remain at Slemon Park for the imminent future but we are currently exploring other possible options closer to town and with the possibility of building an in ground pit. Submitted by Katherine Clow Club President Island Gymnastics Academy Annual Report The Island Gymnastics Academy enjoyed a very busy season this past year. Coming off of our award for top club in Canada, we continued to pursue excellence in organization, development, and delivery of gymnastics. Competitions The highlight of the year was the Canada Winter Games in Prince George, BC. The Academy again hosted the Harvest Classic, in November with over 120 gymnasts from four PEI clubs in

22 attendance. The Prince Edward Classic was held in January Over 400 gymnasts from Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island participated. This continues to be one the highest attended competition east of Montreal. We enjoyed attending the provincial championships hosted by Summerside Saultos. It was great to see both female and male disciplines compete together in such a great, central location. The Academy girls competed in several invitational competitions last year including Harvest Classic, Prince Edward Classic, Titans, Amherst in Nova Scotia, Gymnix in Montreal and the highlight was Tampa Bay. The girls competed in the high profile Gasparilla Classic on Tropicana field. They also participated in a several training camps. The Academy boys competed in several invitational competitions, including, Harvest Classic, Prince Edward Classic, Titans and Alta in Nova Scotia, Elite Canada and National Championships. Several training camps were held. Participation in the International Competitions and the Provincials, Atlantics, Elite Canada and Nationals was a highlight of our competitive season for the boys and girls. After several years of discussion, the Academy has decided to withdraw from competing at the Eastern Canadian Championships. The Board of Directors look to other invitational competitions to provide the athletes with a more positive experience. It has been determined that the financial cost to attend Easterns does not meet our expected outcome. Staff We offer programs from pre-school to adult gymnastics. We have eight full time coaches directing the programs. We also have 21 other coaches who work in the programs. We are pleased to have hired one more full time coaches who will assist in our delivery of programs starting in September. Janet Duval, an Island native, has been furthering her education and coaching off Island for the past several years. She brings a vast experience to the club as well as national judging status. Professional development continues as a high priority with C.J. Keliher completing his Level 4 NCCP. We also continue with our yearly first aid training. This summer our coaches had the

23 ultimate experience of attending and coaching with Kelly Manjak (coach of Kyle Shewfelt). Coaches reported that this was hands down the best coaching education they had ever received. Lloyd Mallard, an expert in children s learning styles, also provided an outstanding clinic to our competitive coaches. Our recreation and preschool program directors continue to deliver in house training for our recreation coaches. In total we have found NCCP Level 3 coaches and two NCCP Level 4 coaches. All of our competitive coaches have NCCP training at various levels. Athlete Development The Academy coaches closely monitor the delivery of the programs. The girls program continues to grow. The success at the competitive level last year is a tribute to the quality of the whole program offered to our gymnasts. International travel has become a part of the regular yearly program. The boys are developing a very strong mini tumbler program. They continue to pursue International travel with a team competing in the US. Recreation Gymnastics The Academy is pleased to see these programs grow. We are always adapting the delivery of programs to meet the needs of our clients. We have children from age 1 to adults who enjoy the fun, fitness and fundamentals delivered in our recreation classes. Our satellite program in Montague continues to bring positive feedback. We are excited to have such a great relationship with Montague Consolitated School. Our adult gymnastics program offers a great experience and work out for our adult members. They were a welcomed addition to Gymstrada. Facility Being part of the House of Sport is extremely positive for the Academy. Sharing resources and overall facility with several sports has many benefits. The current space the Academy has is small, but is utilized fully. The use of the South Gym continues to grow. We could certainly use more space!!! Equipment This new equipment undertaking by the Academy has proven very positive. With the upgrade of our equipment, we see great results from the improvement.

24 Anniversary The Island Gymnastics Academy opened its doors in September of We are celebrating our 34 th year of Incorporation. We have over 1000 gymnasts registered with Gymnastics PEI. Scott Chandler Retirement Event with Ellie Black in the spotlight In June, Scott Chandler retired from gymnastics at the age of 40. The retirement event saw past PEI National Stream Gymnasts attend. Dave and Crystal Kikuchi, pas Olympians Evan Cruz, Vaughn Arthur- NS National Stream athletes attended. The event was graced with two Pan American Games Canadian athletes, Hugh Smith and Ellie Black. Overall, the event was a great way for Scott to retire from the sport and an excellent opportunity to promote gymnastics on PEI. Closing We would like to thank Gymnastics PEI for partnering on several significant projects that encourage the development and growth of gymnastics on PEI. We acknowledge the great support from the Provincial Government. The continued funding through the TD program has already seen positive results in performance and expansion of programs on PEI. We look forward to working with the new TD under their new portfolio. We would like to thank the parents for their tremendous support this year.

26 Meagan Gallant had a chance to use her judging skills at many competitions this past season. She also had the privilege to judge at the Atlantic Championships in St. John, New Brunswick. Meagan also won the ADL Official of the Year. She is a very dedicated coach and judge.

We are also very proud of our own Ellen McAssey for doing a great job presenting all of GPEI awards at our GPEI awards night. Our annual parent day was again well attended by all our members with one extra group to perform. We also do our annual awards and certificates afterward. Our annual Summer Camp was a great success again this year. Our camp was full and we had to turn away some gymnasts. Space is an issue in our gym. We anticipate having a bigger registration next year as we try adding one more recreational group on Saturday. Space might be a challenge. We are looking forward to a very exciting season. We would like to thank GPEI board and all the board members for all your support during the year. Submitted by Paul Goguen Head Coach and Administrator Victory Gymnastics Centre Annual Report We had a very successful year. We are heading into year 6 of operation and our recreation and competitive programs continue to grow. A tremendous amount of positive feedback has been sent to us by our members. We have outgrown our training facility and are currently looking at options to expand our existing space. We purchased $15,000 worth of the equipment after Easterns including: landing mats, crash mats, a single training bar, training aids and a vault runway. We had 6 provincial champions this year with 11 athletes qualifying for atlantics as well as 5 for easterns.

27 As of August 2015 Victory Gymnastics is a competitive club only, we no longer offer recreational classes. Instead we now share our facility with A-1 Gymnastics (recreation) and Passion Elite (cheerleading) Submitted by: Kristi Shoemaker Owner & Head Coach Bylaw 4 NOW 1.
