Wildcard Gymnastics Team News

Addition morning practices available for girls on Monday, July 24th; Wednesday, July 26th; Monday, July 31st; and Wednesday, August 2nd from 9-12. This will be an open workout for all levels Fast Track through level 9.

August 1st is National Night Out in Butler at Frontier Park.  The event runs 5-9 p.m. so we will have NO Team practices on Tuesday night. Instead, gymnasts are asked to perform at  the two shows (6:30 and 7:30 p.m.).  Girls: Wear your new exhibition leotard; Boys:  Wear a Wildcard shirt and black shorts.   Level 4 and up may come to help with the obstacle course between 5-9 p.m.  Attached is the flyer for the event.

This is just a reminder that all team members on all teams (excluding boys) must place their order for Warmups by Thursday, July 14th. All Goldbugs II, Fast Track, Level 2-9, Xcel, and T&T must order the warmup. Warmups are part of their “uniform” and are to be worn on the gym floor.
