Worldly gymnastics coach brings new form to Drumheller valley club Posted: 02 Jul 2010 12:04 AM PDT     Those of us looking to rid a spare tire will have a world-class gymnastics and fitness coach to work with come fall.     Jakki Woywitka, 28, will be bringing a long resumé of experience to the gymnastics program of Drumheller Gymnastics Club when she arrives in September.     "We are extremely excited," says Cathy Smoliak past chair of the club. "She has a lot to offer to both the club and community."     Attaining her Bachelors of Sport Management from the University Canberra in Australia, the Vancouver Island native has over 12 years experience in sports management behind her.     Woywitka holds Level 3 Artistic Gymnastics and Trampoline Coach certifications.     She has coached and lived in five different countries, training with national team coaches from Russia and China, and trained others in Austria, Finland, Turkey, Mexico, and Australia.     Woywitka worked with Gymnastics Canada and Alberta as a NCCP course facilitator. When a couple of coaches from Drumheller had said their head coach was leaving, she was invited to bring her expertise to Drumheller.     What brings her from all over the world to Drumheller is the prospect of building a program from the ground up.     "I'm really excited for the opportunity to take a club from where they are now to make it grow into something that will benefit the community," Woywitka says.     Woywitka will allow the club to offer new programs in gymnastics and general health and wellness that will begin in the fall.     A new program the club hopes to bring is the training of other sports leagues, which is beginning with the skating clubs but ideas are in plan to expand to hockey.     "Woywitka will be a huge asset to the club, allowing us to offer more programs and tackle a wider range of programs - from toddlers to adults," says Smoliak.     "Struggling students will have classes open to them to promote growth."     The new changes at the Drumheller Gymnastics Club will  begin to take effect this fall.     "The training opportunities for all our current coaches will be greater because of her diverse  background, as well as being a facilitator for our gymnastics programs."

New Summer Sports Activities Posted: 02 Jul 2010 07:10 AM PDT

The Department of Community Culture and Leisure Sports Development Unit are pleased to announce that this summer's sports and activities programme is the biggest to date and includes new initiatives to ensure that the young people of the Isle of Man have plenty of opportunities to stay active this summer. As always, the holiday programmes offer young people the opportunity to learn new skills, try new sports, make new friends and stay active and healthy. For some, this could be the start of a sporting career that leads to Island representation or National accolades, for others it may be just the opportunity to try a new sport or activity that could lead to joining a club and engaging in an active lifestyle. The programme gets underway on 27th July and caters for age groups from school year reception to year two, year three to year six, and year seven to year ten. Alongside the normal favourites of multi sport sessions, football, rugby, cricket, athletics, netball, racquet sessions there will be a wide range of new sports and activities for participants to enjoy. These include dodgeball, gym sessions, gymnastics, outdoor pursuits, BMX riding and two and three day sports camps in conjunction with sports' National Governing Bodies. Opportunities will be Island wide and costs range from £4.00 for a half day scheme to £33.00 for a three day camp. All sports and activities are run by qualified and enthusiastic coaches. Hon David Cretney MHK, Minister for Community, Culture and Leisure said: "My Department is very proud of the holiday sports programmes that the Sport Development Unit offers the Island's young community. The physical benefits of sport are well publicised, however, there are other wider reaching benefits to young people such as improved self esteem and confidence. I hope young people take advantage of these opportunities, especially the new activities such as the outdoor pursuits and BMX sessions". Aaron Quinn, Sports Development Officer, explained: "For this summer the Sports Development team have worked hard to ensure that there is a range of activities and sports that meets the diverse needs of young people. We hope children and young people who haven't been on our schemes before will have a go this summer and hopefully find something that they really enjoy" For further information or an application form please contact the Sports Development Unit on 688592, or email enquiries@msr.dtl.gov.im alternatively, visit www.gov.im/sport -Ends-
