Promotes and supports athlete-focused rhythmic gymnastics programs for all ages in Manitoba.
Due to COVID-19 we sadly had to cancel our in-person Provincial Gymnaestrada. While we are being socially distant, we are also bound together through a love of gymnastics. Thank you to the gymnasts who participated in our first virtual Gymnaestrada – we hope we can be together soon!
Thank you to Carly, Samantha, Tracy and Tanya from Manitoba Fusion for their help with organizing, editing and choreography of this routine.
Rhythmic Gymnastics Manitoba has received notification from Sport Manitoba that the Province of Manitoba has approved our Return to Sport plan. As part of Restoring Safe Services Phase Two, rhythmic gymnastics clubs are able to return to practice if can maintain the social distancing and sanitary measures.
Although clubs are permitted to reopen, only those who can do so safely are able to resume. The reopening has happened quickly and clubs will need time to prepare a safe environment, register participants, meet the protocol requirements, and give families information about returning to sport in the new environment.
The 2020 Rhythmic Gymnastics Manitoba Annual General Meeting has been changed to a virtual meeting at 7:00PM on Monday June 15th to allow for social distancing. Please RSVP to rgm.ed@sportmanitoba.ca. Nominations have been extended to May 19. Please see the updated documents below:
Rhythmic Gymnastics Manitoba is pleased to invite all gymnasts to take part in the 2020 virtual Provincial Gymnaestrada event, one mass routine incorporating all groups and participants and captured on video. Please see the bulletin below for all the details on how to join us for this event!
