Just a quick reminder to make sure you are checking the calendar on the website. It is up to date and has all the dates you need to know!
Our mock meet is a week from Sunday! I know the girls are getting really excited because this is what they've been working for all summer. Routines still aren't where they should be, but we're getting there. We're doing our best with the space and time we have. The girls should already be aware, but if the coaches feel the girls aren't comfortable enough with their routines, they will scratch that event regardless of whether or not they have all their required skills. We don't want to send anyone out there if they aren't ready. If they want to be ready they have to practice at home. We simply do not have enough time during practice to get the routines down really well.
If you are unsure of how your gymnast is progressing feel free to talk to any of the coaches. We are all more than willing to let you know how they are doing. Same for the girls. If they have any questions about how they are doing or if they are really frustrated with a certain skill, make sure they are talking to the coaches too! The more the gymnasts communicate with the coaches, the more productive we can be:)
Today all the girls voted on team and level captains. There are still some girls who need to vote, but we'll let everyone know the results before our first meet.
Make sure the girls are still properly fueling their bodies and getting enough sleep!
Keep up the hard work!
