Wildcard Gymnastics Team News

Due to family matters, T&T practice for today Thursday, June 23rd, and the make up practice for tomorrow Friday, June 24th are cancelled.  Make up days for these days will be announced at a later day.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

So apparently they are offering a second order thru AAU Wisconsin to purchase the Wisconsin leotard, shorts and t-shirt for Florida. Now the hope is that they would definitley be here in time; we originally hadn’t received the info so Wildcard wasn’t able to send it out to anyone.

The hope would be that anyone that orders the Wisconsin leotard can wear it for competition at Disney; however if they aren’t here on time the plan is to wear long sleeves (or exhibition leotards if your gymnast doesn’t have a long sleeve). So we would most likely bring along all of the above to Florida.

I will try and put a rush order on it if everyone wants to purchase this one to wear in Florida…but if they don’t come in time we will wear or Wildcard leotards.

I must place the order tonight! So I need confirmation and payment ASAP. If anyone else is interested please let me know. The cost is $50.00. They are super cute! Red with sparkly Wisconsin and silver shorts. Ask Amy to see them!
We hope that everyone competing is ordering them!!!

Please email or call if you DO NOT want to order these for Florida, because I will plan to count everyone in!!!

Gymnasts (and Parents) –
Please make sure if you are bringing money to practice for the vending machine, that your money or valuables are locked up! You are allowed to put a lock on your locker as long as you give Miss Amy your combination. Never show others your money, wallet, Ipod, etc. – we don’t want to encourage anyone to steal. Don’t forget to clean up anything you bring with you each night! Help keep our locker rooms neat.

With summer arriving, gymnasts (and coaches!) can get a little sweaty. Please remember to wear deodorant and wash your leotards. It is recommended to wear a clean leotard each practice night and to make sure you are taking your leotards home so they don’t get moldy and smelly in your locker! There will be extra spray deodorant in the bathroom, in case you forget, but be a champion and wear/bring your own. You can keep some in your locker too!

Please be drinking enough water as the warm weather causes gymnasts to sweat. Gymnasts need to rehydrate often and drink almost a full glass of water after practice. In addition, with the additional practice hours, make sure your gymnast is getting enough sleep and RESTING (not swimming!) during double practices!

Keep up the great work Wildcard! We are going to have a fabulous summer!
