LOTTERIES YUKON
We would like to thank Lotteries Yukon for their generous financial contribution, which allowed us to purchase 3,816, 8″X 8″ foam pit cubes for the pit, thus ensuring a safe environment for all of the Yukon children accessing our facility to practice their gymnastics skills.
The new foam blocks would be of great benefit to our users. This equipment will ensure a safe and secure landing from the trampoline, uneven bars and men’s bars. Both competitive and recreational gymnasts use “the pit” to attempt new skills and perfect old skills. For our younger members it will help increase their confidence in attempting new skills as the pit will provide a soft, safe landing.
The trampoline is the “favored” piece of gymnastis equipment for all user groups. The children (and adults!) love to jump and flip to land in the pit, ergo in/on the blocks thus use of the blocks is continuous.
The purchase of the foam pit cubes will extend participation in gymnastics classes by providing all Yukon children the opportunity to enhance their physical and cognitive skills creating a positive self image and a positive attitude towards their bocies, trust in their abilities and exercise as a habit that is a pleasureable daily event.
