Level 6s on Friday; This Saturday; Butter Braids; Team Dinners

GIRLS’ LEVEL 6s END EARLY ON FRIDAY, MARCH 13 – With a competition at 8 a.m. on Saturday at the LGA Lucky Invitational in Waukegan, we are ending the girls’ Level 6s early on Friday. They will end at 7:30 p.m., so the gymnasts can go home early to get rested for the early-morning meet on Saturday.

NO TOPs SATURDAY, MARCH 14– There is no TOPs practice on Saturday as a majority of the gymnasts in TOPs will be competing at the LGA Lucky Invitational on Saturday morning. TOPs will return on Monday.

GIRLS’ LEVEL 2, 3, 3/4, 9-11 a.m., SATURDAY— All girls’ Level 2, 3, and 3/4 gymnasts who normally come 9 a.m.-noon will only be coming this Saturday from 9-11 a.m. due to coaching availability.

BUTTER BRAID FUNDRAISER — The annual Butter Braid fund-raiser will begin soon. The selling window will be very short in order to get the Butter Braids in prior to Easter. As soon as the order brochures arrive, they will be distributed to all team members. Product orders will arrive on April 1st, ready for pick up at 4:30 p.m. Please note that we have no freezer storage availability, so the orders would need to be picked up that day. More details will come once we get the order forms. (Please remember that we are doing fundraising in order to put in a foam pit. The more we sell, the closer we get to the goal of putting the pit in!

LEVEL 3s STAY UNTIL 7:30 p.m. — All Level 3s, including the girls who competed Level 2 at the first two meets and have been promoted (former Fast Track) should now stay until 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

GIRLS’ LEVEL 6-10 STATE SCHEDULE CHANGE — There were again tweaks to the Girls’ Level 6-10 state meet, especially for Sofia B. in Level 6, who is now in the middle session. Also the middle session for Level 8 has been backed up 15 minutes. Please review the most recent schedule here.

TEAM DINNER REMINDER — This is to remind the Boys and Xcel teams that they will have their team dinner following practice on Wednesday, March 18. Practice will run until 7:45 p.m. and Xcel gymnasts will start at 5 p.m. that day. Gymnasts should bring nicer clothes to change into for the dinner. We should be done by 8:30 p.m. Accounts have been billed the $10 fee for the team dinner.

BOYS’/XCEL STATE WEEK PRACTICES — There are a few slight changes for the week of boys’ and Xcel state. The changes are the Xcel gymnasts on Wednesday, March 18, will practice from 5 p.m.-7:45 p.m. and that the boys will end at 7:45 p.m.

On Saturday, March 21, there will be no Xcel Gold practice, but there will be Xcel Silver practice. There will be no boys’ practice on that Saturday as well. Candace may add an additional practice that week for the boys.

TRAVELING MEET 2016 — There is an opportunity for a traveling meet for 2016 if we have interest. The Cancun Classic is being held Jan. 1-4 in Cancun, Mexico. This is an opportunity to do a traveling meet with almost no school and limited work interruption. If we have enough support, we are willing to add this meet to the 2016 schedule.

We are still also leaning toward Hawaii in 2016 (if this meet doesn’t work out and the rest of the meet schedule works out) or Hawaii in 2017.

Please let us know if you would be interested in attending the Cancun Classic in 2016. The Cancun meet offers both boys’ and girls’ competition, but it is a non-sanctioned competition.

SUCCESS WALL ADDITIONS — We had one gymnast compete last week, Reed in Level 8 at the Salto Invitational. He made the success wall with an 11.8 on vault.

Boys’ Practice Saturday, Team Dinners, State Meet Info, New Conditioning Circuit

Boys’ Practice Saturday — The boys’ team practice will be shortened on Saturday, March 7, to be 9 a.m.-11 a.m. as the Level 8s have a meet at noon. Candace will need to leave for the meet so practice will be slightly shortened.

State T-Shirt Orders — T-shirt orders for Girls’ Xcel State, Boys’ State, Girls’ Level 6-10 State and Boys’ Regionals are due soon. You can pre-order at the GymTreasures web site if you have not done so already. There will be a limited amount of items for sale at the meet itself. Personalization and bling (for girls) will also be available at the meet site. The following are the links for t-shirt orders:

Boys’ State
Girls’ Xcel State
Girls’ Level 6-10 State
Boys’ Regionals

State Team Dinners — As per our tradition, we will have team dinners for each team prior to their state championship meet. The boys and Xcel will have their dinner on Wednesday, March 18 at 8 p.m. at the gym in the dance room. Xcel practice that night will start begin early at 5 p.m. and go until 8 p.m. for both Silver and Gold. Boys should plan on staying that night the duration or come a bit later for those who leave early.

The meal will be catered from Fazolis (most likely … if not, we will cater Noodles). Gymnasts should bring nice clothes as we tend to make this event a bit dressy.

The cost is $10 per gymnast. A $10 charge will be added to each gymnasts account this month. Please advise if your gymnast will not make it.

The Girls’ Level 6s and Level 8s will have their team dinner on Thursday, March 26 at 8 p.m. Details have yet to be worked out for this but we will likely have this at Noodles on 124th and Capital in Wauwatosa. We will confirm details as they become available. With it being such a large group, we will have to develop the details a little more. The cost for this will be determined as we have a better idea of what we’re doing as a group.

Updated Xcel State Schedule — There was an error on the lone Saturday session with Xcel Gold gymnasts on the schedule recently published. The schedule on the blog has been corrected. The schedule below is correct for the Saturday session for Christen and Stephanie:

SATURDAY, MARCH 21

GIRLS’ XCEL GOLD – Christen, Stephanie
Arrive – 11:40 a.m.
Stretch – noon
Meet Begins — 12:15 p.m.
Awards — 3 p.m.

The complete Xcel State meet schedule is available here.

State Meet Schedules — For easy reference, the state meet schedules are available here:

Girls’ Xcel
Boys’
Girls’ Level 6-10

AAU Nationals Venue Change — The AAU Age Group Championships will still be held in Las Vegas, Nev., June 10-14, but will no longer be at the Riviera. The new venue will be The Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino. The Riviera was purchased by the Las Vegas Convention Center and will be closing in May. The Westgate will honor the $49 midweek/$89 weekend rate that the Riviera was offering and will continue to offer it through the duration of the meet.

Honestly, this is a HUGE upgrade. The Riviera was a dump and the Westgate is much nicer (having stayed there this summer). The Westgate is slightly off the strip by about two blocks, but it attached to the Monorail, which will make travel up and down the strip significantly easier.

A very tentative schedule has been posted and is the following:

Wed., June 10 — Registration 3-8 p.m.
Thu., June 11 — Registration 8 a.m.-6 p.m.; Girls’ Levels 1-4, Xcel Bronze, 8 a.m.-9 p.m.
Fri., June 12 — Registration 8 a.m.-6 p.m.; Girls’ Levels 1-5, Xcel B-S-G, 8 a.m.-7 p.m.
Sat., June 13 — Registration 8 a.m.-6 p.m.; Girls’ Levels 5-9, Xcel S-G,, Boys All Levels 8 a.m.-9 p.m.;
Sun., June 14 — Registration 8 a.m.-4 p.m.; Girls’ Levels 6-9, Ladies All Levels, Boys All Levels 8 a.m.-6 p.m.

More information on the competition is available here:

We have started a new conditioning circuit this month.  We have seen some dramatic improvements in strength and flexibility with the gymnasts who are really working to do the correct shapes and positions.  Here is a copy of the conditioning as requested by several gymnasts, so they could work on it at home.  (Parents, feel free to give it a try!)

Optional State Apparel, Saturday Practice, AAU Nationals/Junior Olympics

Girls’ Optional State T-Shirt — Orders are being taken for the Level 6-10 t-shirts and sweatshirts through the vendor’s web site, by clicking here. There seems to be a bit larger selection on-line rather than ordering through the club, especially an adult extra-small sweatshirt (of which there are no children sizes or AXS through the club). Order early, especially if you want the AXS sweatshirt. Personalization is available at the meet. There will be a limited number of apparel available on site.

Boys’ State and Xcel State t-shirt information has already been posted to the blog previously.

Saturday’s Practice — Saturday’s practice is as normal—the first in a long while—with the exception of TOPs, which will be from 9 a.m.-11 a.m. There will be no optional level practice on Saturday until after the state meet.

Gymnasts Prior to Practice — We are again having an issue with gymnasts running around and being on equipment prior to practice. This is especially true on Mondays and Wednesdays. We are also having an issue with parents being in the practice area prior to practice. If this continues, we will have to institute stricter pre-practice policies.  Please understand, that we need to ensure safety and reduce any risks of injury.

Locker Room Etiquette — Gymnasts should be using the locker room and not the cubbies in the gym to store all of their belongings. Additionally, gymnasts should be respectful of the belongings of others. Please use the lockers and locker-room cubbies to store shoes and jackets. If something is out of the cubbies and on the floor, please be respectful and pick it up and avoid stepping any clothing/items that are on the floor.

Private Lessons — Amy has limited availability for private lessons Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday in non-practice times. Please check with her for her updated availability at amyg@wildcard-gymnastics.com.  Some of the other team coaches may also be available.  Please check with them directly if you are interested in scheduling a private lesson.

AAU Nationals Venue Change — AAU has indicated that the AAU Age Group Nationals will not be held at the Riviera as previously announced. It will still be in Las Vegas, at a different venue, to be announced. Hotels reservations will be honored at the price previously announced. We will let you know once we have the location of the meet.

AAU is taking entries for the meet. If you wish to register, please come to the gym with a credit card and we will process the entry with you (you will directly enter your card on the AAU web site … we would prefer not to take payment and then register later).

AAU Nationals is open to any of the girls’ and boys’ competitive levels.  It would be really cool to have a large team go to Nationals, so please consider making this a vacation option.

AAU  Junior Olympics Schedules — AAU Junior Olympics is scheduled from July 29-Aug. 8 in Virginia Beach, Va. AAU has not released any hotel information yet, so we can not pass that along.

The gymnastics competition is scheduled from Aug. 5-7 (check in Aug. 4). Feats of Strength All-Sports Combine is scheduled Aug. 6. There has also been some interest expressed in Tumbling & Trampoline, which is scheduled to run July 30-Aug. 2 (July 29 is check in and open work out). T&T athletes will get to compete twice, most likely, in a prelims and finals set up. If anyone is interested, we can try to participate in the T&T competition and the All-Sports Combine. Please let us know if you have interest in competing in all three. Also, if we have enough gymnasts, we will enter one team performance group.

Unfortunately, there is no Boys’ gymnastics competition at AAU Junior Olympics, but the boys can compete in the T&T competition and All-Sports Combine.  Again, we’d love to have a big Wildcard team represented, so the more the merrier!

Entry fees for gymnastics are $80, T&T $73 (if competing all three events), All-Sports Combine is $48. Our gymnastics meet schedule will determine if we can compete in Feats of Strength.

Success Wall Additions — We, once again, had quite the number of success wall additions from our competition at the Hang 10.0 Invitational in Kenosha. The following gymnasts will be added to the success wall:

Saturday Practice Changes, Boys & Xcel State Apparel Orders

Hang 10.0 Meet Information — Here is a link to the meet information for the Hang 10.0 meet this weekend in Kenosha. It has been a while since it was posted, so we will make it easy for you to find with this link.

Saturday Practice Changes — Due to the numerous number of competitors this weekend in Kenosha, we are unable to have practice for any level on Saturday, with the exception of Xcel.  There will be no girls’ compulsory levels, girls’ optional levels, TOPs or boys’ practice. Xcel will be held as scheduled from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.

We are not switching any groups to Friday night. Friday’s practice will be as normally scheduled.

Boys’ State Meet Apparel Orders — See this link for boys’ state apparel orders, which are due to Wildcard Gymnastics by the end of February. Also there is information on placing an ad in the meet program if you are interested.

You can also pre-order directly with the apparel supplier, which we highly recommend. The link for direct orders is available here. There will be limited on-site orders available.

Xcel State Meet Apparel Orders — You can pre-order Xcel state apparel directly with the apparel supplier. There is no pre-order available through the gym for Xcel state. The link for direct orders is available here. There will be limited on-site orders available.

A Big Thank You to Everyone Who Made the Meet a Success!

Thank you to all our volunteers — Wildcard Gymnastics would like to send a big thank you to all of our volunteers for your help this past weekend in setting up, running and tearing down the Wildcard Cruise Classic. It was our first time to go off site with the meet. We were hopeful for more entrants, but we are confident we will continue to grow the meet in the years to follow. We looked over our rosters and there are very few families who did not participate in a volunteer role in some way. Wildcard does not have a booster club, so we strictly rely on parent help for assistance with meets.  As stated in our team handbook, all team families (regardless of whether your child was participating in the meet) are expected to volunteer in some manner.  Again, a huge thank you to those who volunteered their time, especially those who helped during the set-up and tear down process!  For that, we are very much grateful!

New Levels in Our Billing System — Gymnasts are put in their new levels in our billing system starting with this month. For compulsory girls’ gymnasts who have advanced to their next level, you will be billed accordingly. For those gymnasts formerly on Fast Track and Gold Bugs II, you will be billed at the Level 2 price, which will run later today. New Fast Track families (those on Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30 p.m.), you will be billed monthly starting today.  Monthly tuition is expected to be paid by the 10th of each month or the card on file will be charged accordingly.  February’s tuition will be billed today.

Please have a credit card on file for all monthly charges associated with your account.

Tuition Increase — This is a reminder as well that girls’ team gymnasts will see an increase in tuition. The new amounts are as follows:

So beginning March, your gymnast will be charged the following:

Girls’ Level 2 — $155 per month (up from $145, 7 hours per week)
Girls’ Level 3 — $160 per month (up from $145, 9 hours per week)
Girls’ Level 4 & 5 — $170 per month (up from $155, 10 hours per week)
Girls’ Level 6-10 — $180 per month (up from $165 per month, 12-15 hours per week)

Currently, Xcel and boys’ tuition will remain the same.

Last Chance to Register for GymTastics, Carousel Meets — Friday, Feb. 13 is the last chance for gymnasts to register for the following AAU Off Season Meets:

Mar. 21-22 — GymTastics Inv. (AAU, Watertown) — $50
Apr. 11 — Carousel Inv. (AAU, Plover) — $50

The following gymnasts are currently registered for the GymTastics meet:
Essence B., Olivia G., Caelyr G., Jennifer H., Nadia J., Ayanna L., Maggie M., Jordan S., Sarah S., Kamryn W., Maeggan X.

The following gymnasts are currently registered for the Carousel meet:
Caelyr G., Jennifer H., Maggie M., Sarah S., Maeggan X.

Any recently qualified Level 6 gymnast, this would be your opportunity to compete in Level 6 this season.

Please note that the current Level 2 gymnasts (former Gold Bugs II and Fast Track) are registered for these two meets as part of their meet fees.

Also note that we might add the AAU Central District Championships in Rockford, Ill., to our meet schedule once we receive information on that. That competition will be in early May.

Parents/Non-Practicing Kids on the Practice Floor — We’re once again finding a situation where we have parents on the practice floor regularly and we have kids who aren’t in practice on the floor or on equipment (particularly in the back gym/preschool area). We had a situation last week where a sibling of a team kid was in the way of the high school team practice before Wildcard’s practice. We can not have kids that aren’t in class at that time in the practice area for safety consideration. We run a very friendly operation and allow parents and siblings to serve as spectators (other gyms are not as hospitable). We also offer a play room for siblings and non-practicing children. Please use that instead of the practice area to entertain your children.

Also, again, as a reminder, no one is allowed on equipment before practice. This includes the back trampoline, rings, and back floor. This definitely includes siblings of gymnasts. Please, for safety consideration, do not allow your child to play on equipment before practice. The only individuals allowed on equipment prior to 4:30 p.m. are gymnasts in a private lesson with an instructor or in a TOPs practice.

Wildcard’s Go FundMe for a new Pit — Wildcard has created a Go FundMe campaign to help raise money for our new pit.  We have made a small dent in the cost of the pit with our pasta/coffee fundraiser but not nearly enough money to even be able to break ground in the spring!   Please repost this link and pass it on to friends/family.  A foam pit would be a remarkable training tool for our gymnasts and really, it’s the only equipment team setting our gym apart from other gyms.  Please help us raise the funds to start pit construction in the spring.  Visit http://gofund.me/wildcardpitproject?pc=tw_cr_n  to donate to the pit project!

Success Wall Additions — We’re going to need a bigger wall!

The following gymnasts will be added to the success wall (give us a few days to process the large amount of pictures we need to add to the wall, we will have it done by the end of the week):
