If you have selected to have the card on file charged for the leotard order, that will take place later this evening.  If you have provided a different credit card to pay for the leotards, that will also take place this evening.  If you have provided a check, it will be deposited no later than Friday.

If there are any questions or concerns regarding this, please let us know.

There have been many questions regarding AAU Nationals in Disney, however there have not been many confirmations from those families.  The deadline regarding AAU Nationals in Disney is Thursday, May 5th. This is a hard deadline, as we have a hard deadline to meet.  Please stop at the front desk if you plan on participating.  Anyone who has participated in the Rainbow and Love’s Park meet has qualified to attend.  If you have not participated in either and would like to still attend, please stop at the front desk so that we can tell you how you can still go.

Please remember that travel and accommodations are the responsibility of the family. Below is information on accommodations that one family has found.

The Disney Caribbean Beach Resort. There are several things to do on the resort which is great if you want to do the trip on a budget and skip parks. Please copy and paste the address in your browser. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/caribbean-beach-resort

The rate when booking through the Walt Disney World Group line is $121/night + 12.5% tax. To book it you need to pay for 1 night stay + tax of the one night stay. To cancel or change your reservation you need to do it within five days of the start of your trip.
The best way to book this is by calling 407-939-4686
Choose Option 1 (to book your reservation)

To make it as easy as possible mention that you are coming for the
“2016 AAU Gymnastics Age Group Nationals” and you are with “Wildcard Gymnastics Team”. They will group our rooms close by.

You will receive an email with your confirmation number. You can use this number and link it to “Disney My Experience” on the Disney world website. It takes up to two days for the booking to hit their main system so you will have to wait up to two days to add your reservation to ‘my experience’. (My experience allows you to customize your magic band – which is a bracelet you will use to get in your room or any parks in place of a card – comes free with resort stay. It will also allow you to reserve any sit down dinners at the disney resorts.

If you are flying in you can reserve a free magical shuttle ride from the airport (Orlando International Only) to your resort. You can also use the Disney transportation to get around any where on Disney grounds.

There are many other affordable options.  The above is one that one family wanted to share.

Again, please let us know if you plan on attending as soon as possible.

PIZZA WILL NOT BE OFFERED AT OPEN GYM APRIL 29th.

Sorry for the short notice! Due to unforeseen circumstances Xcel Gold and Xcel Silver practice is cancelled for tonight, April 27th. Our apologies for the inconvenience. 

Only gymnasts that are competing at Central Districts will work out on Friday, 4/29 from 4:30-7:30 p.m.  Open Gym will be held that Friday night if gymnasts want to come back at 8:30 p.m.  Everyone else enjoy the night off.

The T&T team will have open gym practice this Saturday, April 23rd.  It is an important practice for those going to Regionals.  This will be the only opportunity to practice on competition equipment before Regionals.  Therefore it is optional for those not going to Regionals.  For those attending, we will focus on trampoline and tumbling routines.  Open gym begins at 6pm-8pm.

Just a friendly reminder that leotard orders are due May 1st.

All teams including those in Fast Track, Gold Bugs (at least the exhibition leotards), Gold Bugs II, T&T, Boys, and all Xcel Divisions are to purchase leotards (singlet/pants for boys), for the upcoming competition season.

Please stop by the front desk for a order form.  If you are unsure as to if and what you should order please be sure to ask Amy or Rhea.

We are requesting all optionals to attend open gym at M&M on Saturday, April 30th. Christina and Jessica will be in attendance to assist gymnast with skills. The cost for open gym is $10 and runs from 6pm-8pm. The purpose is to utilize the pits and work on skills.
Hope to see you there!
