'Male gymnasts are some of the strongest athletes in the world' BY BRAD KELLY "Staff Writer BOWMANVILLE - Ray 'Collingham is proud of all he has : accomplished in gymnastics, and he Wants the kids lie coaches to feel the same way. "There is always a stigma attached attached to boys' gymnastics,"-he says of a sport that attracts predominately predominately more females than males. "Some of the kids gel: leased at school and it's hard to get away "from that. A lot of them don't even ;tell the kids at school that they are in gymnastics." That's just one of the barriers the newest coach of the boys' program at the Clarington Gymnastics Academy Academy will have to overcome. "What I try to tell the kids is that male gymnasts are some of the strongest athletes in .the world." Collingham, 32, has an extensive extensive past in the sport, having reached the provincial level while competing, and spending the last 11 years as a coach, the past 10 focusing focusing on boys' programs.

It's getting scarce," she says, noting the girls' program has grown to 50 members as the club enters its fourth season this fall. "Gymnastics is looked upon as a women's sport and hockey is looked at for men. The physical and mental preparation for gymnastics is just as challenging as hockey. "Females dominate the sport and that's the way it will always be. "A lot of the boys don't know of the opportunities that exist," she says of reaching a provincial and national level, or obtaining a scholarship. scholarship. With Collingham on board, Ormerod envisions the boys' program program growing to equal that of the girls.

Ask Your Physiotherapist Ip? Telma Grant Registered Physiotherapist "Pi op" in my shoulder! Q. Dear Telma, I heard a pop in my shoulder. It really scared me. What can physiotherapy do to help? A. A pop is usually the shoulder coming out of joint partially, usually forwards. We call this a subluxation. The first two weeks after the injury you need to ice and practice stabilization'exercises, that is, exercises which will hold your shoulder in place. Tlie key muscles to strengthen are the rotator cuff, and lower traps. The rotator cuff holds the shoulder from popping out forwards. The lower traps hold the shoulder blade down. The ice counteracts the inflammation. If you have this injury, give your Physiotherapist a call. Grant Physiotherapy 214 King St., E. Bowmanville "Count on us!" (905) 623-2783 tig.
