The girls all appear to need a mental health day, so there will be no team practice on October 2, 2020. We will still have open gym from 8:30-10pm on Friday and 6:30-8:30pm on Saturday.
If you need help sizing, ask Amy. Please submit orders promptly. Can print out the order form or there will be some at the front desk. Get your boo on!
If you missed today’s routine clinic and don’t know the routines, you must schedule a private lesson with Amy ($50) 414-303-5195 (text) or one of the other coaches in the next week because we will begin doing the full routines during practice. We will not be “teaching” the routine during practice just working on perfecting it. Be sure to pick up a handout with the words at practice.
Here are some excellent videos about the USAG routines – showing correct positions and terminology. Please have your gymnast take a look at these as we are almost a month out before competition!!

You can always google some awesome USAG Floor or Beam Routines. There might be slight differences in presentation but look for requirements and angles. Take a look at the bar routines too!
The girls have been working really really hard. With all the changes for school starting, we are going to give them a break. Enjoy Labor Day Weekend with no practice Friday, September 4 AND no practice Monday, September 7. Be ready to practice hard on Tuesday. Also, don’t forget about the routine clinic on September 14.
Girls team (levels 2, 3, &4 who don’t know the routines) will be having a routine clinic Saturday, September 12, 2020 from 11:00-1pm. If you are unable to attend this clinic, you must schedule a private lesson with Amy or Nadiya before you can compete.
Rosas Photography is offering unique chalk photos August 29th at the old gym (3545 N 127th). Choose your package and color chalk. Email Veronica for more info or to schedule your photos. See below. (We will be cleaning/closing up the old gym so feel free help while your gymnast is having their photo done! We will take all you awesome volunteers to help please!!)
Thanks for all your help moving into the new facility! It looks great and the kids are getting used to it. It’s nice for me because I can see everyone and what they are working on.
There are no more morning practices (unless schools close lol).
Levels 2&3 – T/Th 4:30-7:30 and F 4:30-8:30 p.m.
Levels 4 and up – M/T/TH 4:30-7:30 and F 4:30-8:30 p.m.
Open Gyms will are planning to start Sept. 15th. (Fridays will not have pizza and soda- so gymnasts should bring a snack/dinner to eat after practice).
Please plan to attend all your scheduled practices so we can get ready for the competition season. I need to register the Level 2s -5s for the Altius meet so if you have not registered for USAG memberships, you need to do so by Aug 30! Last call for anyone wanting to do the Altius meet too.
Reminder – the new gym does not yet have water fountains installed. Water bottles are available for purchase at the front desk for $1.
Veronica posted in the Team Parents FaceBook page that she will be doing Chalk photos of gymnasts that would like to order on Aug 29th at the Old gym. We will also be finishing cleaning out the Old Gym on that day. So for those of you that were unable to help during the move, for those that will be there waiting for their child to do pictures, and for those of you that are just plain awesome – we can always use your help!!! We will probably start cleaning around 11:00 a.m. Please email/text Veronica if you plan to attend the photo shoot.
TBD – We will need to schedule a routine clinic for the girls that don’t know their routines yet in Levels 2-5. Plan on a Saturday or Sunday – coming soon. If you miss the clinic, you will need to pay for a private lesson to learn the routines.
