Gym Update 9-18-2011

With a few meets under our belts and a first place finish at the Palmer Ridge meet, the season is starting off nicely.

Thank you to all of the parents who have helped out with various team activities over the past few weeks. Tricia for working on the pizza kits, Ramona for working on the pep assembly at Legend. Tricia, Ramona, Michelle, Adelia, JR and Brenda for helping with the concessions. Adelia for providing pre-meet food on Wednesday. I am sure I am missing people, but thank you to everyone for helping out. I truly appreciate it.

I think the Junior Gymnastics camp yesterday went really well. We had ten gymnasts participate. The girls did a great job of teaching and spotting the campers. We made $250. It will help in raising money to buy the required mats. The next camp will be October 8 from 10- 12.

Here is what is going on this week.

Monday - practice 4-6 Pizza pick up at Tricia's after practice

Tuesday - Practice 4-6

Wednesday - Practice - I need to leave early for conferences, but Jeff and Jen will be there the entire practice

Thursday - Home meet vs Palmer Ridge. The girls should be at Ponderosa round 4:00 to warm up. Timed warm ups will start at 4:45. The meet will start at 6:00. Gymnasts who meet attendance requirements and are healthy will compete.

Also - Pep assembly at Legend. Gymnasts who plan on participating should arrive around 1:30 according to the e-mail sent out by Ramona last week.

Friday - Optional practice at Chalkbox. The purpose of this practice is to work new skills in to the pit. This will involve vault, tumbling and bar dismounts. I encourage all girls to come and participate, but it is not required. I sent I release form out last week for girls who do not compete CARA for Chalkbox. The release form is also attached.

Practice at Chalkbox will be from 2:00 - 3:30.

Saturday - Varsity only meet at Overland. This meet is huge, it will have 16 teams. It is as big as the state meet and goes about as long. I have attached the coaches information. There is a $5 spectator fee. The sheet also includes directions to Overland. Gymnasts competing should arrive by 8 am for stretching and bar settings. The Legend girls attending their homecoming dance and competing can leave as soon as they are finished competing.
