The Alberta Gymnastics Federation (AGF) recognizes that the past year has been particularly challenging for the gymnastics community. These challenges have ranged from; high profile coaching misconduct cases in Canada and the United States, to growing demands on sporting organizations to undergo reforms that ensure systems are in place to prioritize athlete safety and wellbeing, to rising insurance costs and trampoline restrictions that have directly impacted club operations. The ripple effects of this shifting environment have impacted the gymnastics community nationally.
The AGF Board of Directors is hosting two Open Houses during the upcoming Provincial Championship competitions in Calgary and Edmonton to provide more information, hear from our members, and facilitate discussion. Topics to be covered will include insurance and risk management, Safe Sport initiatives, discipline, and finances.
Location: Saville Community Sports Centre (11610 65 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T6G 2E1) in Classroom #4 located along the upstairs running track overseeing the competition gym.
Location: Competition venue (Genesis Centre 7555 Falconridge Blvd NE #10, Calgary, AB T3J 0C9) or at a facility nearby.
*Time and Location will be confirmed closer to the competition date and signage will be posted at the competition venue.
All AGF members 18 years of age or older are encouraged to attend including; coaches, club administrators, judges, athletes, and parents. These sessions are not open to the general public. Members wanting to submit questions anonymously in advance of the Open Houses can do so via the form found here.
