Gym Notes 10-31-2010

Happy Halloween!! I hope everyone has a fun and safe night.

Monday is gym tear down. Please come early if possible. Also bring your (washed and dry) leotard, bag, and warm ups to turn in. Please do not wait for the banquet, turn it all in Monday. (Unless you qualified to state.)

Tear down will last until we are done. Hopefully, that will be earlier than 6:00. Everyone is expected to attend tear down.

Gymnasts that do not attend tear down are not eligible for any end of season awards.

Wear clothes appropriate for tearing down equipment. Flip flops and skirts are not appropriate. It gets a little dirty.

Tentative practice times for next week. Right now I have practices scheduled at Chalkbox. Tuesday and Thursday 2:00 - 3:00. Wednesday from 3:30 - 4:00. I am working on finding gyms with other times for Thursday.

CHSAA will be announcing individual qualifiers on the CHSAA.org website at 3:00 on Monday.

Friday is state. I will discuss with qualified gymnasts what time they are excused from school.

Walk into the gym Monday believing we can qualify. It will take everyone at their best and on top of their game, but I know it can be done.

The first step is believing with all of your heart that we can do it.

The next step is leaving it all in the gym.

No regrets. It is time to push yourself and your teammates. Be ready and motivated.

Good job tonight. 4th place out of 8 is something to be proud of.
