Coach Nistor, Quinton and Shiven have returned from the Elite 3 Training Camp in Saskatchewan. Quinton said the three best things were the food, the training, and the pool. It looks like they had a good time and trained hard. It is nice to have Nistor and the boys back in the gym though.
I bet you were wondering "What is an Elite 3 Training Camp?" The MAG All Star Camps Program is a component of the Canadian MAG system for the long term elite development of our upcoming athletes and coaches. These camps focus on specific technical development for basics leading towards more advanced skills on all events, along with sessions related to physical development, psychology, injury prevention, nutrition, artistic development and coach technical sessions. Gymnastics Canada identifies expert coaches who are assigned at each apparatus, and where possible will be consistent from camp to camp. Though technical development of the athletes is one of the goals of the All Star camp program, the camps are also meant to be coach centric. Developing athlete AND coach competencies will enhance the daily training environment in the gyms across Canada, which is essential to long term development.
The All Star camps target young male gymnasts who are currently competing in the Elite 3 or Elite 4 categories – Aged 9-13 years old and their coach.
