We have completed the LTAD 101 parent information sessions and thank you to all who made the time to come to learn about what is involved with the LTAD Program.   Only families that have attended the Parent 101 LTAD Meetings are eligilbe to sign up their child for a tryout.   We appreciate the excitement and enthusiasm!     At this time, we will only offer additional LTAD 101 Parent information sessions for the 2025-26 season in the event that we still have room next year after the existing teams have registered for the upcoming season as well as those who have recently been eligible to register their child for a tryout with the offerings below by age group.   After the tryouts, if we still have room on any of the competing level teams, we will post those opportuties here in the month of June.   

The only tryout possible for the 2025-26 is for our Mitey Mite Program which is not at the competing age and does NOT require attendance at the parent meetings are for those children that are 4 years old no later that September 1, 2025 but are also age 5 by December 31,2025 as this is the age group of our existing Mitey Mite team.  Please call 403.932.7373 to book your tryout!

The 2025-26 tryout season (Sept-June)
Our tryout process begins with a parent information night (LTAD 101 Parent Meeting), which is a prerequisite for parents/legal guardians to attend prior to having their child come to the tryouts. We do this in this way so that those who sign up for tryouts understand in advance the program and expectations, to accept an invitation to the team as the important information is provided to families to make informed decisions. ONLY truly interested children who wish to train in one of our Developmental Competitive Program should do the try out.

Regardless of the outcome of tryouts, being a part of a gymnastics program is extremely beneficial as the sport of gymnastics is the foundation of sport. There can be a number of reasons why a child is accepted or not accepted into the program and sometimes it can all come down to simply the timing in a child's life. It is important for families to remain supportive to their children through the process and be proud of them for all of their accomplishments. Being assessed in anyway can cause some level of anxiety. We will do our best to make sure the tryout is a positive experience. One way families can support their little one is by planning ahead for the tryout by preparing and reading through all of our information as well as informing the child of what to expect. 

Process for tryout for the 2025-26 Training year (September 2025-June 2026)

The information night is called “LTAD 101 Parent Meeting”
At the LTAD 101 parent meeting, we will provide attending families the opportunity to review in advance detailed information including what the fee structure will look like so that if your gymnast is invited to be on one of the LTAD Teams so you are prepared to register with a quick turn around deadline.
Below are the steps and information that are in place to complete the tryout process and are subject to change.
**PLEASE NOTE: If you have a child 4 or 5 years old, and does not turn 6 until after December 31, 2025, please contact us via email (cochranegym@ucalgary.ca) for more information about our LTAD Pre-Developmental Program. 

1)  Parents/Guardians to attend the LTAD 101 Parent Meeting, which is done online through the porthole by signing up UNDER the PARENT’s name that is a primary account holder on the Active Living account through the University of Calgary.   If you do not have an account, you will need to create one and then add your dependants to your account. **Please note: Parents/Legal guardians signing up for the LTAD 101 Parent Meeting does not guarantee a spot at tryouts.

2)   Following the LTAD 101 Parent Meeting, the registration for the Tryouts for the families who attended, will be available for you to sign up your gymnast for a tryout.   Registration for the tryout is free and is done by age (Date of Birth) ranges.  Please be sure to register your child in the correct age group by date of birth. **Please note:  Any child’s parent/guardian that did not attend the LTAD 101 parent meeting will be removed from the tryout list.

3)  In an effort make the tryout run smoothly, we can only handle so many gymnasts at one time in each age category. If your child ends up on a waitlist, you will be contacted if we can host another tryout day and time. We will do our best to accommodate as many as possible during the tryout season (Spring). This notification list will be monitored through October 31, 2025 in the event that space in an appropriate team becomes available.  **Please note:  Any families signed up for the LTAD 101 Parent Meeting who was not in attendance will be removed from the notification list.

4)  Following the tryout day, it will take some time for our coaches to have results ready as the following 2 weeks are filled with training and competitions. We will have all the results mailed through Canada Post on or before June 10, 2025. Those invited to the team will be given a firm deadline to register with a quick turn around so that if we have kids on the waitlist, we can offer them a spot if you don’t register by the deadline. ONLY truly interested children who wish to train in one of our Developmental Competitive Program should do the try out.
