The Best of the West Gymnastics Fest is coming to the Richmond Olympic Oval May 5-8.
Hosted by Delta Gymnastic Society, the celebration features a combination of three events, making it the largest gymnastics event in the province.
With approximately two weeks to go, the organizing committee is asking for the support of volunteers to be at the heart of this big stage for the sport.
“The Best of the West Gymnastics Fest includes the Western Canadian Gymnastics Championship, with teams representing all four western provinces and two territories; the BC Provincial Gymnaestrada, a Gymnastics For All program which attracts 600 participants from across the province; and the annual Delta Invitational event,” explains Ana Arciniega, Best of the West Committee Chair.
“We expect approximately 1800 athletes, which means we need an army of enthusiastic volunteers to help us make this event a success.”
The one of a kind festival presents the opportunity to highlight the sport and activity of gymnastics from a recreational to a national elite level. “We chose the Oval as it is an iconic building that will attract audiences to experience four unforgettable days of hard work and celebration,” added Arciniega.
Volunteers are encouraged to sign up at www.deltagymnastics.com/best-of-the-west/ as soon as possible.
“We use SignUpGenius, a fast and easy way to find out event details and sign up for available volunteer opportunities.
“The organizing committee is looking for people that can help with a variety of responsibilities including set up, take down, admission, ushering, security, hospitality, score recording and more. No gymnastics or other sporting event experience is necessary, as everyone will be trained and supported throughout the event,” confirmed Arciniega.
The Best of the West event aims to raise awareness of gymnastics in a fantastic venue with talented athletes and performers.
