Gym Updates

Monarchs
We have a meets 1/30/11, 2/12/11 and our home meet, 2/19/11. The first two schedules are posted on the website and our home meet will be going out this week. Please don't forget about the decorating party we have scheduled next Saturday morning 2/5/11 from 9am-12 in both Multi-purpose room and the Aquatic Club room.
In the gym the girls are working hard preparing for future meets, and as coaches we try our best to let you the parents and gymnast know how the progress is and how hard everyone is working. Their just isn't enough time in the day to talk to every parent after every practice. If you the parents aren't in the gym to help with the equipment then it gets even more challenging. So, what us coaches have decided and came up with is, sending out progress reports about every 2 weeks. Communication is key to success and we feel this will help let the parents know what's going on. We feel that this will be a great tool and the girls will be able to share with the family how they are doing in the gym. The report will have 3 categories; Work Ethic, Attitude and Progress. We feel these are 3 of the most important qualities to have to be a successful gymnast and a great teammate. The progress reports will be in the family folders today after practice. When a new progress report is ready there will be a email sent out informing the parents. Please don't forget to ask your gymnast to share it with you:)

Thanks for all you do,
Coach Kristin

Monarch Families,
Now that the Holidays are over and mid January is approaching we have a ton to stay on top of when it comes to our home meet February 19th. Please get with the parents you need to in order to accomplish yet another great home meet. It will come sooner than we think. Before the home meet we have 2 away meets. First is Darke County, January 30th. It's the Sunday meet so please let me know right away if you will NOT be attending. As of right now it's going to be a 3 session meet. Level 4's will be first session and they're trying for level 5 and 6 second session, which leaves optionals and prep-ops third. Their gym is super cold this time of year so please dress accordingly. February 12th is the Miami County meet, it's in Piqua so be prepared to drive. I will be in New York that weekend starting from Friday 2/13/11-Tuesday 2/15/11. I know it's not the ideal time to be taking a vacation but sometimes you don't get to choose. I will have my cell phone on me at all times and emailing frequently.
Sarah Voit is our Featured gymnast so congratulations to her. She has been working really hard in the gym and the hard work has shown and most certainly paid off. Great Job Sarah.
Parents please please please write your daughter(s) a note if they're going to be late getting into the gym. Even if they're a minute they have been asked for a note. You can also call or text one of us three coaches. This has been an issue for weeks now so that is why it's being brought up.

Thanks so much for all of the effort and dedication from everyone!
