MAG Teams & Programs
Milton Springers offers competitive gymnastics training for boys ages 4 and up across a variety of levels and programs.
How Do We Join A MAG Team?
Tryouts for competitive programs are typically held in April/May. Previous recreational gymnastics class experience is recommended but a love for turning upside down and a demonstrated natural ability in strength, flexibility, and coordination could be a sign your child is a gymnast! Dates are advertised on the club website, social media, and around the gym. Athletes with previous competitive gymnastics experience may email chris@miltonspringers.ca to arrange for an evaluation.
Milton Springers is a not-for-profit community sports organization governed by a parent-run Board of Directors. Competitive programs at the club are supported through the assistance and participation of its competitive team member families. Participation of our competitive members is integral in providing a quality experience for all of our gymnastics programs, as well as assisting in keeping club fees as reasonable as possible. Levels of participation are determined by the number of hours the competitive gymnast works out. Participation is fulfilled through taking on committee and/or executive positions, or signing up for participation points (e.g. helping run events at the club).
