The 2013 Girls’ Fall Meet Schedule is:

Aug. TBD — WILDCARD PRESEASON MEET — Levels 2, 3, 4, 5
Sept. 14-15 — at Midwest Twisters (Oak Creek) — Levels 3, 4, 5
Sept. 28-29 — at Walworth County (Elkhorn) — Levels 3, 4, 5

Nov. 9-10 — at Salto (Waukesha) — Levels 2, 3, 4, 5
Nov. 16-17 — at GymTastics (Watertown) — Levels 2, 3, 4, 5
Dec. 7-8 — Level 3, 4, 5 State Meet (Mequon) — Levels 3, 4, 5
Dec. 14-15 — LEVEL 2 STATE MEET (Brookfield) — Level 2

Home meets are listed in bold. Schedule subject to change.

Meet Fees

Level 2: $185 (includes all USAG/AAU memberships, meet registration for four meets and preseason meet, state meet entry, state head tax)
Level 3: $435 (includes all USAG/AAU memberships, meet registration for seven meets and preseason meet, state meet entry, team entry fees, state head tax)
Level 4/5: $450 (includes all USAG/AAU memberships, meet registration for seven meets and preseason meet, state meet entry, team entry fees, state head tax)

If for some reason a Level 3, 4 or 5 gymnast doesn’t qualify for state, their state meet entry will be transferred to the 2014 Wildcard Cruise Classic.

Meet fees will be paid in three installments, on July 10, August 10 and September 10.  Meets fees are typically due a month in advance and it takes time to get the gymnasts USA Gymnastics and AAU registrations.  As a result, the paid in full deadline is earlier than the final installment deadline.  The installment fees are:

Level 2: $65, $60, $60
Level 3: $145, $145, $145
Level 4/5: $150, $150, $150

For those of you on autopay, these will be run automatically unless you otherwise chose to pay prior to the deadline. For those not on autopay, your gymnast will not be registered for any meets until you have met the financial obligation. There will be no guarantee that your gymnast will be allowed entry into a meet should you not pay your meet fees on time.

We do our best to keep our costs low. Our team tuition prices are easily the lowest in the area among USA Gymnastics-competing clubs. However, meet fees are something that we do not set and have no flexibility in this issue.

Girls’ Team Warmups

Posted on May 19, 2013 by wildcardgymnastics

Team Warm-Ups

* Team warm-ups are mandatory for any gymnast competing in 2013, 2014 or the Spring of 2015.  Fast Track, Jr Gold Bugs and Gold Bugs I & II may order warm-ups too even if they don’t plan to compete yet.  The cost of the warm-up with pants is $175.  All competing gymnasts must have a full warm-up. (The Level 7 – 9 team is allowed to replace the warm-up pants with the capris offered.)  Warm-ups are ordered on a two-year cycle.  We will not be ordering team warm-ups again until the Summer of 2015.

*Warm-ups must be ordered online at http://coachsassistant.gtmsportswear.com/wildcardgymnastics no later than June 20th.  You may customize your gymnast’s warm-up with his/her name on the jacket and pants.  Please remember, that if your child has a common name, you may want to put your last initial on the warm up too.  The warm-ups are in the Wildcard Gymnastics Mandatory Team Warm-up Locker.  Be sure to click on the Girls’ sizes for youth sizes!!!  You are also able to customize your child’s name in rhinestones or put a name on the pant leg.

*Be sure to check out the Fan Locker for parent apparel as well (t-shirts, jackets, sweatshirts and more)! Go to http://coachsassistant.gtmsportswear.com/wildcardgymnastics?lockerId=4462  or click “Fan Locker” from the warm-up order page.  Show support for your favorite team and favorite Wildcard gymnast!  If there’s something you want to see in the locker room, let us know!  Many of these make great gifts!

Check your gymnast’s mailbox for a form detailing this information and your chid’s size.  We worked very hard to size the gymnast’s appropriately so please order the size listed on your form.  We have sized the warmups to last for two years.  Please DO NOT change the sizes!  Let us know if you have any questions!

We will be closing out the warmup locker room as of June 20th so that gymnasts will have their warm-ups before competition season!

Elm Grove Memorial Day Parade

Posted on May 15, 2013 by wildcardgymnastics

MEMORIAL DAY PARADE

Parade Date:            Monday, May 27th, 2013 

Reporting Time:        Please arrive between 10:00-10:15 a.m.    Most people will be arriving earlier, but since we will have small kids, I think we can stall a bit. Last year we waited an hour after start time!!!

Parade Start Time:  10:30 a.m.

Reporting Location:  Elm Grove Village Park  (last year we were at the far end of the parking lot)

Drop Off Location:  The Footbridge on Legion Drive  (Legion Drive is between North Ave and Juneau), just West of 124th street.  (The end of the route is the Elm Grove Village area).

*  Park entrances will be closed to ALL except parade vehicles.   Please drop off parade participants at the Footbridge on Legion Drive that will be demarcated by a large, yellow ‘Drop Off Here’ sign.  This is the shortest distance to the parade staging area. 

** There is NO parking or prolonged stopping near the footbridge.   Please drop off quickly and continue moving. 

As in the past, the 1.2 mile parade route will begin at the Village Park and end at Wall Street off of Elm Grove Road.   Unless your vehicle is part of your act, there will be NO PARKING available at Village Park.   There will be parking available at the end of the parade route in the lots behind the Park and Shop.  This leaves your vehicle at the end of the parade route for an easy exit.   You may want to carpool and have people park near the end of the route.

The route is:  North on Legion, East on Elmhurst Pkwy, South on Church St, West on Watertown Plank, South on Elm Grove Rd, East on Wall St ending at Park n Shop.   We will gather the kids near the parking lot of the M&I Bank/BMO Harris Bank (hopefully!) right at the end of the route.  Please pick up your gymnast there!! 

Link to the parade route map and area:  

http://www.elmgrovewi.org/DocumentCenter/View/741

–       Wear your 4th of July leotard and have your hair/makeup done nicely.  (PS – the Dollar Store has some really cute sparkly headbands and bows in red,white, & blue).  Boys can wear a Blue or Red Wildcard shirt with navy shorts.  Don’t forget sunscreen, tennis shoes and socks, and your stretchy magic gloves for tumbling. 

–       We will need 3-4 wagons for carrying water and 4-6 parents to pass out brochures, hold the sign, help with water.  Please sign up with Amy or Alie.  If you do walk in the parade, you must have on a Wildcard t-shirt.

–       The only kids that may ride in a wagon if too tired will be the JR Gold Bugs.  One parent per JR Gold Bug may walk in the parade but you must wear a Wildcard T-shirt.  Please purchase one for $15.00.  We would like to discourage the use of strollers during the parade unless absolutely necessary. 

–       Each gymnast should bring a water bottle to share.  You may want to freeze part of it to keep it cold during the parade.  These will be community water bottles.  There will not be time during the parade for gymnasts to look for their own personal water bottles.

–       Please wear your leotard and gloves, shoes.  Do NOT bring extra supplies with you.  There will be no one to carry/hold them for you.

–    All Team to attend: Jr Gold Bugs, Gold Bugs I & II, Fast Track, Boys Team, Level 2-10 Girls

Gymnasts are not free for the water park. You do not need to purchase water park tickets to participate in the banquet. Adults wishing to enter the water park but not swim are $5 per person. You are responsible for your child at the water park. The water park is open from 2-6 p.m. for our guests.

TOPs summer practice schedule

Posted on May 10, 2013 by wildcardgymnastics

(There will be no practice 6/28 or 6/29. Additional changes in the schedule will be communicated by the TOPs coach.)  We do realize that this may overlap with your gymnast’s practice schedule and that will be okay because some of the skills will be repeated during TOPs or the TOPs skills will make learning new skills easier.  

New TOPs parents and gymnasts please feel free to come and observe and/or try  a TOPs practice on Tuesdays from 4:40 -6:30 or Saturdays from 9-noon until June 18.
