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.
