Wildcard Gymnastics Team News

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.

Some of our gymnasts are missing a lot of skills for competition!  If gymnasts are missing more than 2 skills, we will need to re-evaluate their level or ability to compete.  Since meet fees are non-refundable, we suggest private lessons to help perfect skills and routines.   We will make final decisions in August about what Level the girls will need to compete based on their skills.

There are 3 “classes” of coaches: 

Master:  Amy or Nadiya  $50/hr

Apprentice:  Rae, Maeggan, Vero $40/hr

Instructor:  Sarah, KK, Emily, Mya, Aaliyah, Emma  $30/hr 

• Most coaches are proficient in ALLl the routines and skills. 
• You must cancel any private lessons with 36 hour notice or you will be charged.  
• Please pay your coach directly with cash, venmo or check.  
• Money is due at the beginning of the lesson. 
• Gymnasts may stay in between practices for $10 (paid to the gym) if they are doing a private lesson in between practices. 
• Sign up for as many privates as you want to get your gymnast caught up!!! 
• If your gymnast will not be available for either of the Routine Clinics, she MUST sign up for a private lesson to learn them.
