Wildcard Gymnastics Team News

Hey all!  It’s finally here! – Take a look at the Google Doc and see what you are asked to bring.  ALL team members and pre-team members are asked to donate a concession item as well as volunteer to help with the meet.  Anyone that does NOT bring their assigned donation or does NOT sign up to volunteer, will be charged $50 for each.  This is in lieu of the fact that we do not have a Booster Club and additional Booster Club fees.  Since we only host 2-3 competitions per year, this is how we offset those fees.

Please let us know ASAP if you have any questions.  Anyone who would prefer to BUY OUT their donation, the cost is $30 and must be paid before Wednesday, October 12th.  Non-perishable Donations may be dropped off at anytime before Wednesday, October 12th.  Perishables should be here Friday or Saturday – check with Rhea, Amy, Nancy or Vonett.

Raffle Baskets – we did not assign any items, however, we are hoping to have at least 1-2 Raffle Baskets per session of the meet.  If you don’t mind donating something here are our themes (but feel free to donate ANY re-gifts or unopened items!)  Please drop your Raffle Basket donations at the front desk.  Thanks!!

Reminder:  There will be NO practice for anyone on Thursday or Friday, October 13th & 14th.  All teams can practice on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday – regular practice times.
We will begin putting together Goody Bags on Wednesday; cleaning the kitchen & dance room; and putting up decorations this week and early next. Please check the blog for the Sign-up Genius link to sign up to volunteer.  We will do major moving/set-up on Thursday afternoon and evening and then finishing touches on Friday morning/afternoon.  If anyone can help, that would be great!

Lastly, there are about 30 leotards remaining for the Wild West Meet. If you did not pre-order one, you can purchase one now and the rest will be for sale at the meet. Cost is $40.

Hello Wildcard Families!

As you all know our Host Meet is Saturday, October 15th.  We are asking all of our Gold Bugs II, Fast Track (Purple and Silver), Level 2-4, T&T, Boys Team, Xcel (Bronze and Silver), and Optional team families to assist with various tasks.

Thursday, October 13th-We will need lots of muscle.  We will need as many bodies on hand to move and set up equipment.  We will need to rearrange the gym for the meet along with  putting or goodie bags together. Although our Sign Up says 20 people, we need much more than that.  Stop in Thursday to assist us if you are unable to sign up.

Friday, October 14th-We will put the finishing touches on the gym.  This will be done in the morning.  Please stop in at 9am to help.

Saturday, October 15th-There are various areas where we will need you help. This is usually done in shifts with the exception of the Captains.  Captains will be expected to commit to all day and supervise the area they signed up for.  Captains will receive a discount on tuition if they commit to the tasks.  For all of the areas in which we will need help, please sign up online at Wild Wild West 2016 Sign Up.

Sunday, October 16th-Once again, we need a lot of muscle.  We will set up equipment and rearrange the gym back to its normal state.

Please keep your eyes open for our donation item list.  This will be sent out later today or tomorrow.

Any questions, please let Amy or Rhea know.

Hey Optionals,

Starz in Green Bay is hosting an Optional Session on October 29th-30th.  (I’m guessing they will compete the last session on Sunday…not a guarantee) – But this is a great opportunity to try your “new” level after the Wild Wild West Meet.  In addition, it is USAG so we have the opportunity to qualify for State or the next level!  Please let Amy or Rhea know if you want to attend by  October 12th. Cost is $80.

 

 

Any Level 4’s that would like to come in for added backhand spring work may do so.   They may come in with the T&T team on Tuesday from 4:30-6:30.

On November 6th, we will be hosting a mandatory Routine Clinic for the Gold Bugs 2 and Fast Track groups.  Many of our team coaches will be on-hand to help with the routines.

Gold Bugs 2  – 10:30-12:30  

Fast Track  1:00-3:00 p.m.

This will be the best opportunity to learn the Floor and Beam routines.  If you miss this Clinic, you may need to schedule a private lesson with a coach to learn the routines.  Privates are typically $40 an hour.

Don’t forget that November 1st will be your first payment for meet fees.  The first payment will be $110 ($75 for meet fees and $35 for registration).  The remaining 2 fees will be $75 each (unless the entry fees change!).

The Wild Wild West competition is being held on Saturday, October 15th.  We will need parents (and some gymnasts) to help with meet jobs and we will be re-setting up the gym on Sunday morning from 11:00 a.m until is done.  The more power we have the easier it will be. Look for a Sign Up Genius link coming soon.   Gold Bugs and Fast Track will also be asked to donate something for the meet…more details to follow.  This is also a great opportunity for Fast Track and GB gymnasts to watch and see what they will be doing very soon!

 

 

 

We will say our goodbyes to Ms. Dianna on Wednesday, September 28th at the end of practice at 7:30-7:45pm.  We would like Level 2’s to stay if they can until that time (they would have an extended practice time if they choose to stay). Please be sure to turn in your letter, or drawing so that we can present it to her.
