CARNDUFF - The Carnduff Gymnastics Club hosted its annual fun meet on March 1, providing young gymnasts with a valuable opportunity to display their skills and prepare for the upcoming competition season.
The full-day event brought together 81 athletes from southeast Saskatchewan, representing three clubs: Carnduff Gymnastics Club, Ross Gym and Fit of Moosomin, and Moose Mountain Jumpers Gymnastics Club of Carlyle. Each of these clubs runs both recreational and competitive programs, ensuring that gymnasts of all skill levels can develop their abilities.
The meet welcomed 46 recreational gymnasts and 35 competitive members. While recreational athletes demonstrated their skills in a non-competitive setting, competitive gymnasts had the chance to perform their routines in front of an audience — an important step in building confidence and refining their performances before official competitions begin this spring.
Unlike traditional meets, the fun event does not involve judging or scoring. Instead, it serves as a showcase event where athletes can gain experience performing in front of a crowd, helping them prepare for the pressures of competition.
This season, competitive gymnasts from the Carnduff Gymnastics Club will have the opportunity to travel to meets in Regina, Moose Jaw, Humboldt and Grand Forks, N.D. The club has athletes competing in the Xcel program in three levels: bronze, silver and gold.
Organizers were pleased with how the event unfolded and were happy to see such a large turnout of spectators supporting the athletes. The fun meet continues to be a highly anticipated event for young gymnasts, coaches and families, and helps promote a love for the sport while building confidence in a positive and encouraging atmosphere.
The Carnduff Gymnastics Club also extends heartfelt gratitude to the sponsors whose support made this event possible.
