Thanks for all your hard work with the Dockhounds, Milkmen and Parades! We know this is a lot of extra commitment and we appreciate all you do! Because we don’t have a booster club, most of our advertising is word of mouth and doing shows or fundraisers – so please continue to help with these events! This is what helps keep our costs down! Thanks again. We are looking forward to an Admirals Game performance and our Trunk or Treat! Please see the previous post to help with the Trunk or Treat!

Competition Schedule – We are working very hard to not make many changes to the meet schedule that was already posted – but many of the meets we had planned to do are already full. We are waiting to see if the gyms will open up more spots but as of right now, we know that Oct 5-6 will not be at Cream City (Oak Creek). We are trying to reschedule it to Capital Gymnastics in Verona that same weekend. The Salto meet Oct 19-20 is also full – we are looking for a replacement. As of right now – we are booked for Air force in Green Bay on November 16-17. We apologize for any inconvenience. The meets filled a lot quicker than in past years! This means we may have to start registering much earlier next year!!

• New Level 2 parents – many of gymnasts continue to compete during the AAU Season/Winter – not only is it great experience but provides more opportunity to perfect skills and routines and reminds gymnasts of what we work so hard for. The meets with * above have both USAG and AAU sessions. Our Level 6 and up gymnasts will compete in both. Most of the time in the Winter we focus only on AAU for Levels 2-5 but there may be opportunities to do USAG. Some Level 2s will move directly to Level 3 for the AAU Season. This is often an opportunity to “test out” the new level and see how the gymnast does before competing USAG in Fall. If you have questions, talk to Amy or Kate at the front desk. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you compete the Winter Season (plus AAU has State, Regionals and Nationals) – so it is quite climactic for the gymnasts!

I stand corrected – according to the website LOL – I AM holding Team-in-Between tomorrow from 12-4 p.m. Sorry for any inconvenience but we will be here! 🙂

*** ALL Girls Teams – Please try to make it to practice tomorrow since we won’t have practice on Tuesday night (West Allis Parade) – We would love to have a huge turnout for the West Allis Parade!!
ALL Girls Team practice on Wednesday from 4:30-7:30 p.m. (Including Fast Track!!). No Practice Thursday, July 4th – Please attend the parade. ******

We welcome you to this year’s Independence Day Parade. The parade will be held on Thursday, July 4, 2024, 10:00 a.m. 

« ENTRANCE WILL ONLY BE ALLOWED FROM GEBHARDT ROAD!  For participant drop-offs, enter the EAST drive to Brookfield Central on Gebhardt Rd. and utilize the driveway in front of the school (see enclosed map – staff will be on site to direct you). Please drive slowly for everyone’s safety! Those dropping off participants must then EXIT the high school by traveling NORTH to North Avenue, or PARK behind City Hall OR in the overflow parking area north of the Safety Building (see map).

« Please report to your designated area between 9:00 – 9:15 a.m. to confirm your placement.

« Your unit will line up with the     30   GREEN    group. Refer to the attached Staging Area map.

We encourage your group to carpool. Due to safety concerns and traffic flow issues, we encourage participants to utilize the DROP-OFF AREA in the front (south) drive of the high school.  PLEASE PROVIDE AN ESCORT FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN to take them to their line-up area.  You will NOT be allowed to drop off participants in the line-up area in the school’s back (north) parking lot.Otherwise, we ask that you park your car elsewhere and then escort your participant to their designated line-up area.

The parade will begin at Brookfield Central High School located at 169th and Gebhardt Rd., travel west on Gebhardt Rd. to Calhoun Rd., then north on Calhoun to North Ave., and west on North Ave. to Norhardt, south on Norhardt –  approximately 1.25 miles.  We usually meet up kitty corner from the frozen yogurt place. Pick your gymnast up on Norhardt.

Gymnasts – please freeze a squeezable water bottle half full and fill up the remainder with water in the morning.  Don’t forget to wear sunscreen!!  And deck yourselves out in patriotic head wear! Wear your Wildcard 4th of July tanks & shorts (or black shorts). Otherwise girls should have on red/white/blue leotards or Wildcard exhibition leotard. Boys – please wear you Wildcard shirts with black shorts. Don’t forget tennis shoes and socks AND your gloves for tumbling (those little stretchy magic gloves). You can order some from Amazon!

NO practice July 5th!! Have a great weekend!!

*** Reminder – Fast Track & Level 2 parents – Mock meet will be July 7th from 12-3 p.m. Please make every effort to be there (especially if your child has not completed!) They can wear their Leotards that they already have (Wildcard ones) or just another leotard. Parents are welcome to come and encouraged but there isn’t a ton of room so please don’t invite everyone under the sun! We will do a final mock meet before the actual meet season. Please be prompt. Gymnasts should have their hair neatly pulled up. No jewelry.

• We will have AM practice 9-noon – No Evening Practice for Team
• Line up by 6:15 pm on 77th and Greenfield (north near the speedway); we are #84
• Easiest drop off would probably be around 77th and Madison.
• The route goes 77th down Greenfield to 70th St. then South on 70th to end at Veteran’s Park.
• Please pick up your gymnast promptly at the end.
• Girls should come prepared wearing their exhibition leotard or a purple leotard (or the red/white/blue tanks). If your child does not have any of these leotards, a Wildcard Gymnastics t-shirt is sufficient. Boys should have on a Wildcard T-shirt with black shorts. Gymnasts should wear athletic shoes and socks (no sandals) and should wear stretch gloves for tumbling. Also, please bring a disposable water (preferably half of a squeeze bottle that has been frozen).
