T&T News

T&T practice for the holiday week will be held Tuesday, November 24th 7:30-8:30. This will be the only T&T practice that week.

Beginning the week of November 30th, practice will be Tuesdays from 5:30-7 or/and Wednesdays 7:30-8:45. There will no longer be Friday practices unless otherwise stated for make up purposes. As always, practice is open to both days if felt needed.

A few T&T reminders…if you have not done so, please be sure to purchase trampoline shoes, as they are required for competition. If you do not have a short sleeve exhibition or a long sleeve competition leotard, please see Rhea. Either leotard is needed to compete in. Also, it is a T&T regulation that girls hair is pulled back in a tight bun during competition.

In regards to meets, as soon as meet information is received, it will be shared here on the blog. Our first meet is coming up shortly, information should be received soon.

If there are any questions regarding T&T, email Rhea at rhearobi76@gmail.com.

**** Warm-ups – I am trying to do a last call for anyone that has not received warm-ups/Jackets (and you have paid for them!).  If you haven’t paid for them and would like to order, please let Amy know ASAP!  I am hoping to have the final order in this week.

Last call – $26.  Please text Amy at 414-303-5195 to let her know color and size.

STATE MEET2015    – Claire  & Taylor W. are listed in the correct session for the State Meet.

I am thinking about changing a couple of the meets due to my work schedule.  Please let me know if this is a concern or problem for you – the weekends are the same, the venues are different. So instead of  The Legacy Luau meet in Minnesota, I would like to change to the Pink Ribbon Meet at Altius (Jan 29-31) and instead of the Mississippi River Vacation Classic in Iowa, change to Salto Invite (at State Fair, March 5-6).  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.  Thanks!

Good Bye to the Fowlers!  Thanks for a great 10 years – good luck in the next stage of the journey!  Excellent job on the Wild Wild West Meet!  Another successful event.  Fare thee well – Blain, Alie, Hallie, Bradyn & West.

Now for schedule changes… aside from adding Level 2s & 3s to Fridays 4:30-7:30 p.m; I’m not going to change anything just yet.  With Diana’s mom in hospice, and Alie and Blain gone, we will definitely be short coaches; so we are just going to try and make do.  Please bear with us.  I will try to make any changes for January but if we are desperate, we may have to do some rearranging.  As of right now, times and days are the same.

HOWEVER – THERE IS NO TEAM PRACTICE (ALL GIRLS and T&T) on FRIDAY, OCT 30th.  NO OPEN GYM either!!!  Nov. 5th may be cancelled due to a coach shortage…TBD

No Tops until after the Compulsory State Meet.  I will keep you posted if things change.

Boys will be coming Weds & Saturdays; Reed will also come Thursday.  Again, I will keep you apprised of any changes.  We are looking to hire another Boys coach.

Tumbling & Trampoline Team – Weds 7:30-8:45 p.m. and Fridays 7-8:30 p.m.  They may come to either of both (especially if needing to make up classes).

Open Gym – Closed Oct 30 & 31st!  November 7th will start Saturday Open Gyms.

Thanks to all parents and gymnasts and coaches that helped out with the Wildcard Meet!
