A big thank you to Coach Antoine Vallières (pictured) who was our guest at Airdrie Edge last weekend and worked with many of our National Level athletes!
After a very successful training camp we have a few weeks of downtime before we turn towards 2024.
As an athlete I know we don’t tend to be very good at relaxing during the break. Most gymnasts and parents of athletes know we need a way to stay active and burn our energy. So I’ve gathered a list of fun activities athletes can enjoy this December:
- Activate Games – Calgary North, Calgary South West, Edmonton South & Edmonton West
- Rock Climbing at Bolder Calgary, Boulders Edmonton, Trailhead Red Deer, or Coulee Climbing Lethbridge
- Outdoor skating season has begun with the Victoria Park Oval and Sir Wilfred Laurier Park in Edmonton as well as Olympic Plaza in Calgary now open. Alberta is home to a lot of outdoor skating and more locations will open as the weather gets colder! And there’s always indoor arenas as well 😊
- With recent snowfalls many ski resorts around Alberta have opened a good portion of their trails including: Lake Louise, Sunshine Village, & Castle Mountain. Norquay and Marmot basin are open; however, they have less open terrain in this early season.
Merry Christmas everyone and enjoy this well deserved break!
