COVID-19 (no. 8)

April 16, 2020 at 11:30 a.m., Vaudreuil-Dorion – It is with a heavy heart, due to the exceptional situation in which the whole world is plunged, that we must make an exceptional decision. Following many discussions, several meetings and many emotions, we must reluctantly announce the end of the 2019-2020 competitive season for cheerleading. Thus, regardless of the decisions of the event organizers, GForce teams will not participate in any event initially scheduled to its calendar, including the National Championships and the Magical Championship of the World.

Concretely :

• Club Gymini will cancel all scheduled payments on your credit card.
• The Club will pay a credit equivalent to training that did not take place to the account of all athletes via Amilia. This could take a few weeks.
• The Club will cancel the invoice for events that did not take place. This could take a few weeks.
• The credit in the account can be used for the next season (2020-2021) or for any other service offered by the Club.
• If you do not wish to use the credit and prefer to be reimbursed; it will be possible to request a refund, by email, at info@clubgymini.org once our operations resume.

THANKS TO ATHLETES, PARENTS AND COACHES

The 2019-2020 season has been short, but we want to remind all of our athletes of the accomplishments they have achieved and the honors they have received. Whether it is the titles of Grand Champions, the rings, the surprise bids (!!!) or even the personal objectives exceeded with flying colors, know that we (all the coaches) are extremely proud of you. Like you, we’re looking forward to returning to the gym. Don’t worry, this season will be celebrated with FORCE, as it should be, before starting the next one.

IT’S OVER, BUT IT’S NOT OVER!

The gym will therefore be closed for an indefinite period, but we are still in communication with you! Challenges are regularly suggested on our Facebook page like our family strength training challenge, chants, jumps or cardio. In addition, from May 4, personalized team physical training will be available on our new web application: gyminigforce.glideapp.io. Follow us on social media to not miss anything, be motivated and keep fit!

DONATE – BY PASSION | DONATION CAMPAIGN

We are a non-profit organization anchored in Vaudreuil-Soulanges since 1978. We have survived several situations for 40 years, notably a fire in 1982 which had damaged our equipment. Thanks to the generosity and dedication of the community, parents, coaches and gymnasts, the Club was able to overcome this situation at the time.

In these times of crisis, we will still need everyone’s help. COVID-19 will have significant impacts on the Club. Only for the G-Force, this is estimated revenue loss of $ 88,000. If you wish to donate, you can do so by following this link: https://www.amilia.com/store/fr/gymini/shop/fundraising/557557. The situation is difficult for everyone, if you are not able to donate, just keeping your credit for the year 2020-2021 and continuing to live your passion will help the Club get through this crisis with less difficulty.
