The week of 7/31-8/5, we will be hosting Bring A Friend Day, where your gymnast can bring their BFF or cousin or someone they know might be interested in gymnastics! (Recreational Gymnasts will bring their friends during their class times).

On Friday, 8/4 – Team gymnasts (Levels 3 and up) will bring their friends 10-noon (practice will only run 10-noon that day so that gymnasts can actually “bring” their friends.) Then “Friends” can stay for open gym that Friday for a special team rate of $10. Please be sure to have your “friend” fill out the waiver/create an account at http://www.wildcard-gymnastics.com. Click “Register” and fill out all info – just don’t actually register for a class.

Saturday, 8/5 – Level 2s will bring their “Friends” from 11-1 p.m. (Their friends are welcome to attend the Friday (8/4) Open Gym for only $10 or come 8/11 for $10.) PS – 8/4, 8/5 & 8/11 may have the Kona Ice Truck show up that day!! (More info to come – parents can pre-pay!)

Hi Families!

In efforts to put together a clinic with some distinguished coaches from Florida and purchase some new equipment, we are looking to do some monthly fundraisers! Please tell all your friends and invite them to Dine Out at the following places (some dates/times TBD). Most of these places pay 20-30% back to us!

Our tentative dining schedule:

August: Portillos and possibly Kona Ice Truck (to be at the gym one Friday/Saturday)

September: Panera

October – Chipotle

November – Noodles

December – Noodles

January – Qdoba

February – Mod Pizza

March – Culvers

April – Badger Burger

May – Chick-fil-a

• We will also be ordering Apparel from Burghardt’s and participating in a Lolabird gymnast fundraiser online – which launches 9/5. More info coming soon. If you have any other fundraiser ideas, please let us know or if you are willing to coordinate something, talk to Amy!

Portillo’s is an easy way to spread the word about Wildcard and to get your friends and family to fundraiser by eating Portillo’s yummy foods. Dine or order from 5-8 p.m. and mention Wildcard Gymnastics and use the code Portillos44 before checking out.

Our Wildcard store at Burghardt’s has launched. Please use the link and order yourself some Wildcard Swag and show your SPIRIT! This is great for wearing to competitions, exhibitions and just to advertise your favorite gymnastics club! The Wildcard store closes July 31st so we can try to have it in time for competition. https://bsg.chipply.com/wildcardgymnastics/ Sweatshirts, t-shirts, hoodies, caps and more! For boys, girls and adults!

* Girls Team practices will continue this week (no mornings) – Gymnasts will come to their regularly scheduled times on these days:

Dockhounds – What to wear…

Posted on May 30, 2023 by wildcardgymnastics

Arrive: 5:30 (first pitch is at 6:35 pm).

Go directly to that gate by the first base side – before entering the grounds. Look for Ben or Rae.

Gymnasts – should wear their exhibition (short sleeved leotard) & black shorts (if absolutely needed). Please have hair pulled back, competition style with a bow or scrunchie or some sort of matching hair accouterment. We would like gymnasts sporting Wildcard apparel in the stands. *If your gymnast does not have the exhibition leotard, please wear purple or any of the former Wildcard tank leotards. Some make up or glitter is fine – we don’t need a team looking like Lady Gaga. Flip Flops might be easiest!

Boys – Please wear a black Wildcard T-shirt and black shorts.

Parents – please show your Wildcard Spirit by wearing Wildcard apparel or purple! There’s lots in stock!

We will need help loading mats and getting them on and off the field.

There is NO TEAM practice at the gym on Weds evening!!

Meet fees are scheduled TODAY for Levels 2-5 but we only have about 1/2 the team registered for USAG memberships. Please check your emails to see if you received a notification from USA Gymnastics. If not, let us know so that we can re-send them. Please complete your registration by June 20th!!! Regardless of who has registered/re-registered, we will be running the first installment of meet fees for anyone who is planning to compete in the Fall on June 20th. If your daughter is NOT planning to compete, please make sure we are aware of that!! (I know of about 4 people at this time).

Mock meet time change August 20th – Levels 2 & 3 – 1:30 -3:30 p.m. & Levels 4 & 5 – 3:00-6 p.m.
