Thanks to everyone that helped make the Carnaval Classic a great success!  We appreciate everyone that gave up their time to be there!  What a wonderful gymnastics Family.

Because so many of us were there all weekend, there will be NO Girls’ Team practice tomorrow evening.  Recreational classes will still run, as well as, Boys’ Team.

Practice resumes as normal on Tuesday!

Stay tuned for the Turner Meet in June (that we are hosting), as well as the October Wild West Meet.  YOU are what makes Wildcard a great place to be.  There were so many compliments about how smoothly the meet ran.  Thanks again.

Amy & Ben

Hi all! Thank you so much to everyone who has been helping already to make the Carnaval Meet a success! We really appreciate all your hard work!

If we can have some strong hands available tomorrow at 7:30 pm to start moving balance beams, Tumble Tracks and Bars, we’d love the help! Amy is stuck at school but we have a schematic if what the gym should look like and if we make a dent in moving the big stuff Thursday, it’ll make it easier to clean and finish setting up Friday much quicker! Anyone who is picking up kids at 7:30, if you could help put in an hour- that’d be great. Optional parents/gymnasts- practice will end at 7:30 Thurs to help!

We could also use people to help with decor, coaches/judges room, concession set-up and more.

Friday morning there will be people cleaning, decorating and if we have enough hands- moving more equipment/bleachers.

Again – a million thank you’s!!!

Hello Parents,

As we prep for our “Back to School Meet” we need parents to complete a few tasks…

• Gym set-up: Set-up for the August 4th meet will take place Friday 12:30-3pm.  We need as many volunteers as possible.  If you are available, please come out and help set-up the gym for our meet.
• Gym reset: We will reset the gym after the meet.  Parents please plan to stick around after the meet and help reset the gym.  Many hands will make light work, so we need as many volunteers as possible.
• Parent Obligation: Instead of the regular $25 parent buy in, we are asking every parent to bring a 24 case of water, coke, diet coke, or sprite.
• Level 4s are required to work the 1st session, so plan to be at the gym at 7:45am.
• Optional are required to work the 2nd session and help reset the gym.
• All team families are encouraged to help with set-up and gym reset!

Hello Parents,

For the safety of all gymnasts, if your child will be leaving practice early it is vital that you call first or notify a coach.  Additionally, we are asking all parents to sign gymnast out at the front desk when they are leaving early.  Gymnasts must continue to practice until their parents arrive for pickup.

Also, please note that gymnasts should not call parents from their personal cell phones during practice requesting to be picked up without permission from a coach.  Should your child fall ill or is injured, you will be contacted by someone from the gym.

We are sorry for the inconvenience this change may cause. Please note that our gymnasts safety is our first priority!

We are updating with the FINAL schedule! Our times were a bit off. Please see the new schedule below.  With three added sessions we REALLY need more volunteer help. Please sign up for two or more. Thank you for helping us make this a successful event!

CARNAVAL LEO

We have a limited number of carnival leo’s left for sale. They are $30 in the pro-shop.These leos are for fun and can be worn at the Carnaval Classic but are not required. The ‘Carnaval Classic’ Leos cannot be worn in any other meets.  If your child chooses not to wear it, then they should wear their long sleeve competition leotard. If they do not have a long sleeve leo the black Wildcard leo with the turquoise trim is fine.

VOLUNTEERING

Each family should plan on having at least one adult represent their family for set-up on Friday night AND take-down Sunday morning. Additionally, we would like each family to fill at least one spot on Saturday. If you would like to help out more than that feel free to sign up for more. There are several spots where gymnasts can help out too! Home meets are always fun to volunteer at!

If for some reason your family cannot help at all there is a $50 buy out option.  Please sign up before Friday, February 9th or your family will be assigned spots.
