Fundamental Team

Fundamentals is non-competitive program that runs from September to June for girls who are turning 5 or older. This team requires a try-out, which are usually held at the end of May. These groups train 3-5 hours per week, focusing on developing strength, flexibility and proper techniques to build a strong foundation for learning more difficult skills. At the end of each year in June, we host an in-house Showcase for Fundamental athletes to demonstrate what they have learned throughout the season.  For some, this program can be a stepping stone into our competitive program, but for others this program is a great place to keep learning new skills and staying fit without the intensity & commitment of a competitive program. If you have any questions, please contact us at info@miltonspringers.ca.
