Hub City Meet

With the gym closing due to the temperatures Weds (we are hoping to be open Thursday), Friday Practice is now OPEN to all team members on Friday, 2/1/19.  Practice will run from 4:30 – 8:30pm. (Gymnasts participating in the Hub City meet will run through routines from 4:30-6:30 p.m. and then go back to events from 6:30-8:30 p.m.).  If your gymnast competes on Saturday and you want to take your gymnast early at 6:30 p.m. that is fine.  There will be coaches staying until Open Gym on Friday night, so gymnasts can stay the whole time.

Stay tuned for updates about Thursday’s practices.  We are hoping to be open.  Be safe!

We are asking every gymnast parent to respond, whether they are attending or not.  This will give us an accurate account and will allow us to track all gymnast.
