Wildcard Gymnastics Team News

Next week begins Fall Practice Schedule. Fast Track Silver will be practicing Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 4:30-7:30. Because of the increase of hours (coaching time) there will be a $20 increase to tuition, starting September 1, 2021. If you have a card on file, as a member of team, you automatically authorize Wildcard to charge your account, and it will automatically run when tuition is added to your account. Please give us at least 30 days notice if you plan to discontinue team.

With everything that has happened in the gymnastics community in the last few years, USAG and Safe Sport have stepped up to provide some comprehensive information to help advocate for our gymnasts. I will attach some of the documentation and we will be posting the documentation (consent forms, reports, etc) on our website and on the blog. We want to make sure our girls are safe at all times. Almost all team coaches have participated in the USAG Safety Certification and Safe Sport courses.

SummerFest Parades – We were invited to do 3 Summerfest parades! Summerfest is being held over three weeks in September. The dates of the parades are 9/4, 9/11 and 9/17. These are Saturdays. Line up is at 2 p.m. (parade starts at 2:45 I think). Each gymnast that participates will receive a child ticket and a parent ticket for each parade. Please sign up on the attached google form so we know how many tickets to get each day: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSefyS6Xe9MReIydLdMdUKJRqiqX0h22a184hAws__U_h7jHdA/viewform?usp=sf_link

Due to high temps in the gym, we will be done at 7:30pm tonight.

Compulsory means levels 2-5.

We will not find out exactly when each gymnast competes until much closer to the meet weekend. In the mean time, please keep the weekend open for your athlete.

Okay – so I think I fixed the private lesson google doc – you should be able to edit it! SIgn up – you may want to make sure the coach has a head’s up if you are signing up without 36 hrs notice – you can text AMY 414-303-5195 and she will let the other coaches know.

*****If your gymnast missed the compulsory clinic, she may want to do a private lesson before next week’s clinic. We will be focusing on shapes, positions and cleaning up the routines next Sunday. Next Sunday, Level 4/5s – your time slot will be from 1:30 -3 p.m. (We found that the 4s & 5s picked up the routines very quickly!).

Reminder: I need USAG Memberships or renewals from: Akanna, Olivia T, Olivia M, Azariah, Kamryn and Kaylyn. Check your email for the link.

Fast Track gymnasts – your leotards will be coming soon for Winter Competition. If you ordered one, you will receive it when they come in. The jacket, back pack and tank set orders have been placed. You will receive them when they come in. IF you ordered sweatshirts – we need to place those orders, we do not have them in stock. However, t-shirts are in stock and you should receive them this week.

We will post a text version by next week. Here are the Level 4 videos. Please make every effort to be at next week’s clinic too!

I will have the written text later this week. Here are the routines for Level 3. Thanks for coming to the routine clinic – hope to see you next week at the clinic!

I will provide the “text” by next week. Here are videos. Thanks for attending the clinic. Please try and have your gymnast here for next week’s clinic.
