The Overland Invitational this weekend was good. We accomplished some things we have been working on. I also saw some areas that we need to continue to focus on. (Like bars.) I enjoyed seeing what other schools are doing and the skills being thrown.
Please remember, if a gymnast is not coming to practice, I need to be notified by either the gymnast or her parents. Last week, there were a couple of gymnasts who did not tell me they were not coming to practice or the meet.
We are more than half way through the season. There are only two meets left for most of the JV and beginners. It is my intention to get all gymnasts in to each of the last two meets as long as they meet attendance and workout requirements and are not injured.
This week is homecoming for most of the girls on the team. I know most of the Chaparral girls will not be at the meet on Wednesday. If there is anyone else who thinks they will not be at the meet, I need to know as soon as possible.
Monday, we will be tumbling. The varsity will be working on adding some release skills on bars. The JV girls will be working on floor routines and working on more basic skills. We will also choreograph our homecoming routine.
Tuesday, we will be doing routines. Then we will work on our homecoming routine.
Wednesday, we have a meet against Rock Canyon and Heritage. Warm ups for the meet will start at 4:00 and the meet will start at 6:00. Some of the varsity will be trying new skills at this meet. If I can talk the girls into it, I would like to give a sneak peak of our homecoming routine after the meet, before awards.
Thursday will be trick day. Thursday practices are NOT optional. All gymnasts should come to practices on Thursdays. At the end of practice on Thursday, we will flip the floor. We will also practice our homecoming routine.
Friday is the Homecoming pep assembly at Ponderosa. I encourage all gymnasts to participate in the assembly and get recognition. We will performing to Ghost Busters. Parents of gymnasts at schools other than Ponderosa, need to excuse their gymnasts from school to come over to Ponderosa. (And provide transportation.)
Gymnasts should be at Ponderosa by 12:45.
I will have leotards for the girls to wear. They should bring black shorts.
After the pep assembly, we will put our gym back together. Gymnasts will be out of the gym by 4:00.
Senior night, and the final meet for most gymnasts will be October 6. It will be a quadrangular meet, with Niwot, Elizabeth and Pine Creek all competing. Warm ups for the meet will start at 4:00, march in will be 5:45, and the meet will start at 6:00.
Gymnasts who are done competiting after the 6th should continue to come to practice. After the 6th, non-varsity gymnasts who continue to come to practice will be able to work on new skills. I will also take them to regionals, if they attend a majority of the practices.
Our only away regular season meet will be at Overland on October 14. I am still working on the logistics of bus pick up. It looks like I will excuse Douglas County and Castle View from school at 2:45 so they can catch the bus at Pondersa at 3:30. Then we will do a pick up at Chaparral at 3:45. The meet will start at 6:00. The meet is 6 varsity and 3 JV. I will compete the 9 best gymnasts on each event.
League is Wednesday, October 21 over fall break. Please let me know if your gymnast will NOT be available for League.
We are seeded for regionals by averaging our top three team scores throughout the season. We will not know what day, or where regionals are until October 19.
Depending on where we are assigned for regionals, the girls will get out of school somewhere between 10:30 and 12:30. I will take a bus to each of the high schools and pick the girls up. We will go to eat at the strip mall at Arapahoe and I-125. The girls will exchange secret sister gifts. Then we will head to our meet.
There will be a mandatory attendance for all gymnasts on Monday, November 2. Please do not schedule any doctors appointments on this day. All gymnasts are expected to help with tear down. It goes quickly if everyone shows up. We also vote for team awards. Gymnasts who are not at tear down are not eligible to receive an award at the banquet.

Gym Notes 9-20-2009
Last week was good. It was definitely crazy. I wish I had more control over our judging situation, but I do not.
I feel like the girls are progressing towards where they need to be by the end of the season. The beginners are really coming along and picking up new skills. I love to see their enthusiasm as they learn new tricks and leaps. The varsity is progressing as well. We still have many areas to improve in, and we will continue to change routines and try new skills and combinations for a few more meets. I am very happy with the effort and focus the varsity girls bring into the gym everyday.
Sell your Local Value Cards!!!!
Thank you to all of the girls and parents who helped with stadium clean up on Thursday. It went really well. I know being out on a school night is difficult, but the money we made goes towards judges so I can run varsity and full JV at our home meets.
The week ahead...
Monday - After stretching and conditioning, we will tumble and then do full tumble floor routines, come ready to go! The beginners will also be vaulting. We will do other events too, I just want everyone mentally and physically ready to tumble and do full floor routines on Monday.
Jen will review judges sheets with the girls.
Tuesday - The varsity will be vaulting and doing other events, JV will be working the event/s that they are competing and then moving on to other events.
Wednesday - We will be hosting Cherry Creek and Rock Canyon. Girls should arrive at Ponderosa by 4:00, the meet will start at 6:00. I am trying to get everyone to compete in the meet. That means some girls will only be doing one event.
Wednesday is Parent Teacher Conferences night at PHS. Parking could be difficult.
Thursday - Trick day!!! These are my favorite days. Jen will also review judges sheet with the girls from Wednesday. If we have video, the girls will be able to watch videos of their routines.
Friday - I am trying to get gym / pit time. Once, I know when and where, I will post the information on the blog. It will be optional.
This Saturday is the Overland Invitational. It is a BIG meet and will indicate where we rank among some to the best teams in the state.
The bus will leave Ponderosa at 7:00 am, please be on time, because the bus will leave at 7:00. We will then do another stop at Chaparral at 7:15. (Be on TIME!!!!)
The gym at Overland will open at 8:00. It will be open gym from 8 -9, and I highly recommend that the girls get on all of the pieces of equipment at this time and warm up. Timed warm ups will be either 6 or 8 minutes for the entire line up.
Saturday will be warm up two events, compete two events.
Our rotation Saturday will be floor (first team on floor), vault, beam, bars.
Saturday will be a long meet. I do not think we will get out of there until 5:00. Gymnasts competing are expected to stay until the end of the meet, this includes awards. The only exception is gymnasts who have Homecoming for their high school. Saturday is a varsity only meet, but all gymnasts are welcome to come and help support the team.

Gym Notes9-15-2009
The girls have been working very hard this week and improving their routines based on the feedback from the judges sheets. I am excited to see the girls compete again on Friday.
1. The Ponderosa Championships originally scheduled for Wednesday, September 16 has been officially moved to Friday, September 18. It is still parent appreciation night. Parents should try to arrive around 5:45.
All girls who are eligible to compete will compete in this meet.
2. Sell Local Value Cards and return the money to me!!!! If we make enough extra money, we can purchase new equipment. Jen needs to buy one card, the first girls to ask her, will be the girls she buys from.
3. Thursday, September 15 the team has stadium clean up at Burt.com Stadium. Gymnasts should arrive in the middle of the fourth quarter. I think that would be around 9:00 - 9:-15. The girls should bring brooms, work gloves and friends to help. All gymnasts are expected to be part of this team bonding experience. T-shirts are involved. The team will make $400 for their clean up efforts which will go towards judges fees.
If there are any comments or concerns please contact me.

Gym Notes 9-9-2009
We survived our first meet. It was one of the fastest meets I have ever participated in, competition was completed by 7:15. I am impressed with what I saw today. Our team score today was higher than any team score we had last season. (167.4 vs 167.3)
While I believe today was successful, we have a long way to go. There is a lot of work ahead of us. On vault, we need to start flipping and twisting more. On bars, we need to get rid of stops (.5 each time, the same as a fall!) We also need to start working release moves, requirements and bonus skills. On beam, we need more difficulty, and less wobbles. On floor, we need to get into shape, then add twists and bonus.
Based on what I saw today, I have a line up in mind for Cherry Creek. This does not indicate that gymnasts not on this list are junior varsity, and it does not indicate that gymnasts on this list will stay varsity. Varsity is fluid based on many things, including scores, scoring potential, attendance, promptness, and work habits.
Vault - Kaylee, Emma, Alli, Liz, Andie, Kristen. Some of these spots are dependent on the gymnast safely competing a tsuk.
Bars - Kristen , Andie, Alli, Haley, Gioia, Liz.
Beam - Alli, Kristen, Andie, Gioia, Liz, Haley.
Floor - Alli, Andie, Kristen, Gioia, Kaylee, Liz.
Tomorrow we go against TJ. I spent a huge chunk of my day finding judges for this meet. We have three. That is enough. Gymnasts not competing are expected to be in the gym by 6:00 to help out and to support their team mates.
Thanks you everyone for their support. I especially have to give a shout out to the parents that helped with the concessions Friday night, Tricia, Jennifer, Paula, Steve and Ann. THANK YOU!!! Also thanks to all of the girls who helped, Alli, Brittany, Lyssa, Jordan, Jessica, and Kaylee. And to Jen for coming and helping as well, what a great assistant.

Tomorrow Local Value money is due. If gymnasts have not sold all of their cards, they need to keep selling. Any and all money collected so far from sales of the cards needs to be turned in tomorrow.

Gym Notes 9-8-2009
Wow, the first meet is tomorrow, how crazy is that? The routines we do these first couple weeks will evolve and become more difficult as the season progresses.
1. The girls should be selling Local Value Cards. The money is due Thursday. I need to buy 6 cards, so someone should ask me.
2. Some girls would like to have their own warm ups. I am placing the order tomorrow. Check with your daughter to see if she has signed up to get her own.
3. Warm up leos are here. I will not give a gymnast her leo unless she has paid for it. $40 to PHS.
4. Wednesday's meet. All gymnasts competing Wednesday are doing all around. Here is the list, Alli, Andie, Liz, Kristen, Haley, Gioia, Alexis, Emma, Kaylee, Jessica L, Jessica B, Brittany C.
5. Thursday's meet. Gymnasts might not be competing all around, it depends on what events they are ready for. Gymnasts competing Thursday: Tasie, Brittni, Julia, Jordan, Jessica L, Courtney, Devan, Kaitlynne, Maddie, Alyssa, Emma, Jessica B, Brittany C.
6. Gymnasts are expected to attend home meets whether they are competing or not. If a gymnast is not participating in the meet, she does not need to be at the gym until 6:00.
7. If a gymnast's name does appear on the list, there are couple of things that could be, one, I made a mistake, two the gymnast does not have 9 practices since August 17.
8. Saturday's meet at Cherry Creek. I am taking my parents to the airport that day, so Jeff will be riding the bus. The bus will leave both Ponderosa and Chaparral on time. Do not be late, in fact, be early. The bus will leave Ponderosa at 7:00 am, it will leave Chaparral at 7:15 am. The meet starts at 10:00 am. The meet format is warm up two events, compete two events. Beam and vault are our first two events, floor and bars are the last two. I have an idea of who will be competing on Saturday, but it is not official. This is the tentative list Alli, Andie, Liz, Kristen, Haley, Gioia, Alexis, Emma, Kaylee, Jessica L. I can only commpete 6 girls on each event, so not everyone on this list will compete on Saturday. It is a list of the girls I am considering. Based on how they look and perform on Wednesday, I will make my final decision on the line up by Thursday morning.
9. T-shirts are in, they are $12. I have a limited amount and a limited number of sizes. It is first come, first served.
10. There is a blog that is posting gymnastics scores. The address is
