The Season has Begun

Finally we get to get into our normal routine and start having regular structured practice everyday after school!  This week we are going to be conditioning and working on endurance and beginning to learn the routines for competition.  There is also a lot of business to take care of...

Important Notes this week:
  • Rules and Expectations are due Tuesday, signed by the gymnast and her parent.  (I will be passing them out at Monday's practice) 
  • Parent Information night is this Thursday March 1st at 6:30pm in the PAC.  First all of the athletic teams will meet as a whole and then break off into classrooms around 7pm.  Parents if you can make it I strongly recommend coming.  This is the only real chance we get to sit down and answer all of your questions and get volunteers for the season.  There is lots of important information handed out and I would love to meet you all!
  • Uniform money is now past due.  Unless I spoke with you, this is going to delay the team receiving their uniforms in a timely manner.  Please get that to me as soon as possible.  (Returners $95 and New $205) 
 Please remember if you are not going to be at practice or need to come late or leave early for any reason I need to know BEFORE it happens.  I hate worrying about where you all are, so please let me know if something is planned as soon as you know or text or e-mail me if it comes up as a surprise.  Thank you!

Thank you to all the gymnasts that came out for the team this year.  We saw some great talent and are excited to get the season underway.  When selecting the teams we keep in mind the gymnasts' experience on the team and how often she would get to compete and participate.  Also, if you are place on JV it is ALWAYS and option to move up to Varsity during the season.  As always, if you have any questions you can e-mail me at tumblingbroncos@gmail.com

Try Outs this Week!

This is the week we have all been waiting for!  The time has finally come to try-out for the 2012 season. 

If you are trying out here are some last minute reminders....

1)  Pick up your ticket to play from the athletics office at break or lunch this week.  You must bring it with you to try-outs, otherwise you will be sent home.

*If you want to give it to me before try-outs I will be in the athletics office during lunch on Tuesday and in the PE office until 3pm on Friday. 

2)  If you haven't already done so, please send you RSVP to tumblingbroncos@gmail.com.  If you have sent one, I have not responded so do not let that worry you.  RSVPs help me organize try-outs so they can run smoothly and we waste minimal time.

3)  Look over the list of skills, maybe go to an open gym and brush up on a few of them before Saturday.

4)  Be in the gymnastics room (also known as the dance room or wrestling room) ready to go at 9am on Saturday.  ALL GYMNASTS interested in trying out will need to be present at this time.  Please wear clothes you can move and stretch in and nothing baggy. 

See you on Saturday, best of luck to all trying out!
