Dockhounds:  We are once again going to be performing for the Prime Time Show at the Lake Country DockHounds this summer! We are registered for 3 dates: June 2, July 31, and August 3. Gymnasts will be learning the routine for these fun expedition experiences this Spring and early Summer. Go to the blog at www.wildcard-team.com to find the link to order tickets for all three games. Please fill out the google  form so that we know numbers and levels for choreography purposes. Closer to this summer, we will also send out a sign-up genius for volunteers.  All Gold Bugs, Fast Track, Boys Team, Dragonflies, and Girls Team members are invited! It is a lot of fun!!  Please plan to make it to as many shows as you can.  

Parades:  We will be doing several parades this year.  Typically we do the Elm Grove Memorial Day parade, West Allis July 2nd Parade and the Brookfield Independence Day Parade on July 4th.  We will send details out as we get them and it will be posted on the blog at www.wildcard-gymnastics.com.  New gymnasts should wear Purple Wildcard Attire.  There is some selection in the pro-shop.  Consult the front desk if you have any questions.   See the official blog post for more info.

Memorial Day Parade Details

Parade Attire: Tennis shoes with socks, (ideally, black) stretchy winter gloves to protect hands from the road, and Purple Wildcard Apparel or the Patriotic Wildcard set/leotard. We know not everyone has the Tank and Shorts set- some sizes are available in our pro shop, otherwise, we also have Patriotic themed leotards available. If nothing else, please wear purple or Wildcard apparel. Remember a water bottle (to pass) and sunscreen. You can wear red, white and blue gear but don’t bring a ton of extra things with because there will be limited spaces to carry extra items. *Be prepared for the weather!!

Parade Date: Monday, May 27, 2024              Parade Start Time: 10:30 am 

Reporting Time: 8:45 am -9:15 am – Streets will close beginning at 9:15 and you will be unable to get through  after that time. 

Reporting Location: Elm Grove Village Park, 13600 Juneau Blvd, Elm Grove, WI 53122 

Drop off Locations: All drop offs before the parade will be at Elm Grove Park. All acts & participants must  arrive at the park on Legion Drive from the north. Vehicles will not be able to enter the park from Juneau Blvd.  There are two drop  off locations at the park. 

********* The first location is at the footbridge located at the intersection of Legion and Elmhurst. There will be a  large “DROP OFF HERE” sign and Junior Guild Volunteers in neon safety vests to help direct you or  your child to the appropriate staging area. This is a great place to drop off young parade participants! There is NO PARKING or PROLONGED STOPPING near the footbridge.  We will try to have older gymnasts or parents to help walk kids to the spot. We don’t know our staging area just yet. But we usually have a shade tent so look for that. This is probably the best drop off spot.

Pick up– please plan to pick up your gymnast near the BMO Harris at the end of the route (Behind/Kitty Corner) from Sendiks. Please be prompt. I would park your vehicle somewhere near there so gymnasts don’t need to walk all the way back to the parade start.

We could use about 4-5 parents to help with waters and brochures and rounding up children. Let Amy know if you can help! You must be dressed in Wildcard Apparel.

There is NO practice Monday night, 5/27/24!

No practice May 24th (but there is open gym for those who just can’t stay away).

May 27th there is no practice- we will get parade info to you as soon as we have it.

Due to many of the gymnasts competing at AAU State this weekend – there is no Team practice on Friday. There will be Open Gym from 7:30-9 pm on Friday and Open Gym 6:30-8:30 pm on Saturday. Good luck to our ladies competing!

Don’t forget to purchase your Dockhounds tickets!! We will start routines after State! Boys and Fast Track are invited to participate. We also will be doing the Memorial Day Parade and several 4th of July parades.

We are sad to say that coach Nadiya’s mother died this past week (she lived in the Ukraine). Our condolences to her and her family. She may be out for a few days and has been so hence the reason she hasn’t been here this week. We will keep you updated. If you would like to send a card or anything, I’m sure Nadiya would appreciate it. We will plan to make one in practice tomorrow.
