BOYS’ STATE — Congratulations to our boys who competed at the 2014 Wisconsin Men’s GyMANstics Championships this weekend. We won a ton of medals. See at the end of this blog post for a complete list.

FRIDAY PRACTICE CHANGE — The Friday practice time has been moved up to start at 3:30 p.m. and conclude at 6:30 p.m. Gymnasts, arrive as soon as possible, we know 3:30 will be tough. There will be no conditioning and with just 20 kids in the gym, gymnasts should get at least 30 minutes on each event. All Level 6s should go home after the practice. The Level 8s and 9s should plan on going to Brookfield East to help.

SATURDAY, MONDAY PRACTICES — There are no practices for any team (Boys all levels and girls all levels including Xcel) on Saturday or Monday. Boys Level 3 and Girls’ Xcel will have their practices made up. We will probably try to add an extra opportunity for competing kids prior to the meet in Plover in two weeks.

THURSDAY TEAM DINNER — We still have a couple of gymnasts who have yet to place an order for Noodles on Thursday. Those gymnasts are: Sofia B., Hattie B., Miley L., and Heidi K. Please have those orders placed no later than 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. Pick up at Noodles (124th and Capital) is 9:15 p.m.

STATE MEET WEEKEND — Families, it’s been a long ride and there has been lots of planning for since we were awarded the state meet in September. We are three days from hosting it and all eyes will be on Wildcard Gymnastics for the two days.

Again, we can’t thank parents enough. We know we’ve asked a lot of you this year, even this month. But rest assured, this is the last meet we will host until October.

We still need volunteers to help with the running of the meet, specifically in the Level 7 sessions on Sunday. We also need help with people selling leotards and serving in the hospitality rooms. Those are easy jobs and for those of you who haven’t signed up for this meet, or other meets this year, please do. Its very important that we get a fair and equal amount of help. Remember, we don’t have a booster club that constantly bugs and pressures you. We rely on your graciousness.

Here are the areas in which we have confirmed help and need help:

Friday

Meet set up, Glenn P., Chad O., Richard L., Donald K., Vicki D., Brian P., Joe C., Chance G., Shane S. and we could use about 10 more people to make the process go faster. We also have the Brookfield East Baseball Team at 7:30 p.m. PLEASE ARRIVE AT 6:30 P.M. instead of 7:30 p.m. as we have access to the gym earlier.

Move out, 7 p.m.: We have a handful of volunteers, but the more we have, the faster it will go.

Attire for volunteers: Gymnasts should wear their warm ups and parents should be in a Wildcard shirt. Please no jeans. We will have some volunteer shirts available but probably not enough to go around We will do our best to provide as many as we can.

Admission: All Wildcard gymnasts will not be charged admission and any volunteers will get in free for the duration of the weekend. All gymnasts can help out with awards, provided they are dressed properly and are doing what they are supposed to according to our awards captain, Kajuana L.

DONATIONS — Please check the previous blog post for donation requests for the meet for this weekend. We will take drop offs this week, but preferably would like drop offs on Friday at Brookfield East. If anyone has a cooler or two to loan, we would appreciate that.
