Exelta Gymnastics hosting provincials and Canada Games test event
Over 700 of the top young gymnasts in Alberta have converged on Red Deer for this year’s Artistic and Acrobatic Provincial Championships.
The three-day competition is also a test event for the 2019 Canada Winter Games and is being hosted by the Alberta Gymnastics Federation (AGF) and Exelta Gymnastics.
Competitions are taking place at the Collicutt Centre and run from April 13 – 15, with more than 150 coaches and judges in attendance as well.
“We have men’s artistic, women’s artistic and then on Sunday afternoon, we’ve got acro as well, a really big event,” says Jessica Hartel, Exelta Office Manager and Meet Coordinator. “Some of the kids will be qualifying for westerns and nationals at events like this, just an awesome opportunity for Exelta to shine.”
