Finding The Perfect Gown!
The Ottawa Gymnastics Centre, located in Westboro, is a not for profi t organization established in 1960. We of-fer daytime, evening and weekend programs for children aged 8 months to adult. We have a yearly membership of over 3,000 with approximately 700 per session between the ages of 8 months and 6 years.
Our mission is to inspire enthusiasm for and lifelong involvement in gymnastics by providing positive and di-verse programming. Our motto “We Teach Children, Not Skills” is inherent in all of our programming. We strive to provide an environment, facility and coaching that will allow all participants to achieve their best. We believe strongly in the principles of healthy child development.
The OGC operations are led by a professional staff who work in cooperation with a volunteer Board of Directors. Our coaching staff has successfully achieved the provin-cial standards required through the National Coaching
Certifi cation program and have over 250 years of experi-ence coaching in both recreation and competitive pro-grams. We teach fun, fi tness and fundamentals!
Gymnastics teaches the ABC’s of athleticism: Agility, Bal-ance and Coordination. It also:
- brightens healthy minds and bodies for an active life-style at any age
- develops strength and trains the body for life’s chal-lenges
- teaches posture and positive body image
- prepares the body and mind for other sport endeavors
- teaches skills for life including focus, self discipline and determination
Why Gymnastics at OGC?
