Masters Competition For those of you who have never attended the Gymnastics Energy Invitational before, the Masters competition may be something new to you. Gymnastics Energy was the pioneer of masters gymnastics. We were the very first club to provide this type of competition in Canada and hope to continue increasing our registrations. This category was designed for retired athletes or for those wanting to try competitive gymnastics in a low-stress, high-excitement atmosphere. Throughout the years, the Masters competition has evolved to be one of the most fun parts of the weekend. So, if you have been out of the sport for awhile and would like to give it another try, this is the category for you. The only catch is that you must have been retired from Provincial Level gymnastics for at least two years. If you have never done gymnastics before, but have always wanted to, our meet provides a wonderful opportunity to do so. The minimum age is 18 years old (as of January 1 st 2013). There is definitely no maximum age restriction! This category is especially great for coaches! Special Note: We are only 15 minutes away from Niagara Falls and the New casino and have a very nice downtown area to relax after the competition has ended please contact our gym for any further information on these extra bonuses.
