Hampton and then some

I was very impressed with the way the girls joined together as a team on Saturday to over come the circumstances that were placed upon them. Two weeks ago Meadow broke her arm, and the day before the competition Kaitlin injured her ankle. We were also down Hannah B. But the girls worked together and pulled it off. I am very proud of the way they all pulled together and showed amazing team work.

We will have only 3 practices until Nationals. Originally we had set practice on Friday the 27th with Youth practicing first and then Jr.s practicing second, we will be switching that around to accommodate dance classes, gymnastics practices, and school dances. Please note Friday March 27th Jrs will practice 5:30-7 and Youth will practice 7-8:30. I need all the girls at all three practices. Anyone who misses a practice will not be permitted to compete. Also we will be having a team meeting and practice on Saturday night March 28th, we will go over judges score sheets and video from earlier in the day, time TBA.

I think we could all see the girls were not in top form on Saturday, this is because we did not have a full team practice between the IUP competition and the Hampton competition, when one girl misses it effects the entire team.

Did you notice the Yellow shirts the coaching staff was wearing on Saturday? Want one for yourself or your cheerleader? Get your orders to Coach Kaitlin by Tuesday at 10 AM to ensure delivery by Nationals. The profit made from the sale of these shirts will be used to buy supplies for all the girls to make signs for Nationals, as well as to buy spirit items for the Gymsport Fans. The more shirts you buy the less you pay per shirt. The Petersen's Events Center is a large venue and the yellow shirts will stand out for the girls to be able to see their Marvelous Fan better!
