2nd Ontario Acro Cup 

The 2^nd Ontario Acro Cup was held over the weekend of January 26-27 which meant that when the athletes and coaches returned to the gym after the holidays, there was not a minute to spare.

Special Thanks

A special thank you goes out to Woodbridge Academy of Gymnastics for hosting the 2nd Ontario Acro Cup this year. Without the ongoing support from other clubs willing to host acro meets, our talented athletes would not have as many opportunities to showcase their hard work.

We also need to thank our judges for graciously giving up so much of their time to contribute to the ongoing development of this sport. We recognize that you do not have an easy job and cannot emphasize enough how much we appreciate everything you do. Without people like you willing to take this task on, acrobatics in Canada would not be what it is today.

What’s Next?

The age group and junior/senior training groups are getting excited for their upcoming competition at the Flanders International Acro Cup (“FIAC”) in Belgium this coming April. For many, this will be their big debut on the international stage. More details on live streaming options will be posted as they become available.

In addition to the OGC athletes headed to Las Vegas on Team Ontario, OGC is also sending its own team to represent the club. Eager to match the outstanding results achieved by OGC athletes at last year’s competition, partnerships from the P2, P3 and P4 groups are already hard at work preparing for the upcoming 3^rd Vegas Acro Cup.
