Wednesday, October 27, 1999 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER D3 nighseboo! power tumbling, a new and exciting sport sports recap v zr r The Halton field hockey champi onships were held Tuesday at Glenashton Park in Oakville which is entirely appropriate since they were allOakville affairs. And both the junior and senior finals featured the same schools -- Oakville Trafalgar High School (OTHS) and Appleby College. The winner of the senior final moves on to the Golden Horseshoe Athletic Conference (G-HAC) final (the final step before the provincials), slated for Thursday at Glenashton Park at 2:30 p.m. All around, it's proving to be a busy week for the Oakville Trafalgar senior girls team. Today (Wednesday), 3:30 p.m., they are hosting an international match against a visiting British field hockey touring team. Below are the final senior football standings along with this past Friday's season finale scores and this Friday's opening round playoff schedule. The junior standings, which were printed in the Oakville Beaver Weekend Edition, have been reprinted here, due to a slight revision. The girls basketball and boys vol leyball standings and scores were print ed in the Weekend Edition. FOO TBALL (SENIOR) Division one G W L T PF Imagine running full speed down a narrow runway, launching yourself into a series of acrobatic flips, twists, and aerial manoeuvres, soaring high enough to somersault three full rotations in the air in a straight body position before landing on your feet. Now imagine doing all this with only the aid of a foam strip no more than 2" to 4" thick and some fibreglass rods. Welcome to the dynamic sport of power tumbling, a new and very exciting sport. Despite being an organized sport for approximate ly 10 years, power tumbling's popularity has grown at a tremendous rate; in fact, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has recently confirmed it as an Olympic sport beginning with the 2004 games. Local athletes looking to train in this sport, referred to as `the snowboarding of gymnastics' can do so at the Oakville Gymnastic Centre. The OGC has been training athletes in Power Tumbling since 1992 and has been quick to accom modate the sport's growing popularity. An added emphasis on the sport was a key component of the club's recent program restructuring. Ten challenging skill levels have been implemented within the recreation program which focus on strength, flexibility, station work, trampoline work and power strip work. Recreational tumblers have the option to train oneand-a-half hours or more weekly. Classes are offered for both boys and girls, ages seven and up. The Centre's power tumbling program boasts expert trainers and a superb training facility. Coaches Andrew Deslippe, Ryan Webb and John Smyth offer numerous years of experience in the sport. Smyth recently accompanied the Canadian team to the world championships in Sun City, South Africa. Webb, himself, is still actively competing at the national level and is looking to represent Canada at the world championships. He has watched the sport evolve over the past few years and feels that its growth can be attributed to one key factor -- fun. As he points out, "power tumblers spend a lot of time flipping and flying through the air which the kids just love." Extensive time spent conditioning, stretching and developing techniques on the trampoline are also key components to the training and this adds to the fun of the sport. In addition to an exciting recreational program, the OGC offers very successful pre-competitive and com petitive programs. Last season's competitive team was among the strongest in the province. At the provincial champi onships in Burlington, several girls medaled. In the Level 1 category, Stephanie Moed placed third overall; in the Level 2 category, Cristin Stasiuk placed second; Leslie Ann Whitcomb placed first and was OGC's only provincial champion. While power tumbling has always drawn athletes with artistic gymnastic backgrounds, it's also proving popular to athletes in other disciplines. Dance, cheer leading, figure skating, diving, rhythmic gymnastics and acro-dance are all sports whose athletes utilize power tumbling to help enhance their skills. A limited number of openings are still available at all skill levels. For more information, contact the Oakville Gymnastics Centre at 847-7747 or fax at 8477722.
