Team Programs

Want To Join Our Gymnastics Team Program?

Athletes in our team programs commit to 10 months to a year, depending on their team. They train with the same group throughout the season, which allows them to build strong friendships with both their teammates and coach. These connections foster a supportive environment where athletes encourage one another and grow together.

Team program athletes also have the opportunity to represent the club at a variety of events, including The Santa Claus Parade, Skating Party, School Demos, Team Fun Night, Cartwheels for Cash, Showcase, and our end-of-year Banquet. Participation in these programs also requires a parent volunteer commitment and Fundraising Commitment.

Team Program Tryouts

The Barrie Kempettes Gymnastics Club is excited to announce tryouts for new and returning athletes interested in joining our team programs for the upcoming season.

These tryouts are designed to assess each athlete's skills, abilities, and suitability for our team programs. Athletes will be evaluated on a variety of gymnastics skills and physical abilities. Following the tryouts, parents will receive an email with details regarding program placement.

Tryouts will be held for:

• Women's Artistic Gymnastics
• Men's Artistic Gymnastics
• Tumbling

Each program offers:

• Advanced Rec (non-competitive)
• Interclub (competitive)
• Provincial/National Competitive

We recommend that parents and athletes arrive 10–15 minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork and payments before the tryout begins.

All athletes should come prepared in appropriate gymnastics attire (e.g., leotard, or shorts and a t-shirt) and be barefoot.

We encourage all interested gymnasts to come out and give it a try!
