Gymnastics Saskatchewan is the provincial sport body which governs artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics and trampoline sports in the province of Saskatchewan. Our mission is to promote and guide gymnastics in Saskatchewan for the pursuit of excellence and lifelong participation. We were incorporated in 1975 and are active members of Sask Sport and Gymnastics Canada. Athletes of all ages and abilities enjoy participating in gymnastics programs offered by our member clubs, recreation associations, communities and schools across Saskatchewan. Gymnastics Saskatchewan currently has twelve thousand members. These individuals participate in one of our seventy-five club programs in over 250 communities in the province. Gymnastics History Saskatchewan records show that gymnastics was thriving as early as 1904. In the 1920's and 30's the YMCA's in Regina and Saskatoon had competitive programs. Competitive Y programs continued until well into the 1970's. In 1958, a new era began with women starting to compete, and the Y's no longer having a monopoly on gymnastics in the province. Private clubs began to appear as the need for more training time and better facilities became evident. In 1958, the first Saskatchewan Open Championships was held inRegina with ninety-four gymnasts from across Western Canada in attendance. Since 1960, Saskatchewan gymnasts have participated in provincial, western and national championships. For a consecutive seven year period (1961-1967) various Saskatchewan athletes proudly held the title of "national champion". Since 1962 over thirty Saskatchewan athletes have been named to national teams and have represented Canada at prestigious events such as Olympic Games, PanAm Games, FISU Games and World Championships. These athletes were ambassadors for our sport, our province and their local communities and clubs. Gymnastics Saskatchewan provides technical and organizational leadership to our clubs and members through an athlete centred model. We foster general gymnastics program opportunities for fun and or the development of fitness and fundamental skills for lifelong participation. We develop and support competitive opportunities for athletes, coaches and officials at the local and provincial levels and nurture the development of high performance athletes, teams, coaches and officials who wish to pursue excellence at the national, international and world and Olympic levels.
