I just wanted to make you aware of a cheer class that we are offing at Gymsport starting on Tuesday. Because it is starting mid month, January tuition would be prorated to half of the normal costs for the month of January.
The information is below, if you have any questions please let me know.
Gymsport Marvels Practice Team
Tuesdays 6:30-8
$67.50/month tuition (sorry no sibling discounts) (Knockouts only pay $45/month)
Team members receive great discount benefits for other tumbling classes:
$45 one hour of tumbling a week, $60 unlimited tumbling a week
Mondays 8-9, Tuesday 5-6, 8-9, Wednesday 6-7
Free open gym on Wednesday nights and Friday nights
The girls will perform in the Spring gym showcase as well as be invited to the end of the season competitive team banquet.
You have the option of fundraising your $67.50/month as well as building up your account for next season if your daughter decides to join the full time program.
We will work on:
Motion precision to improve cheer and dance skills
Advancing jump height and flexibility
Cartwheels, round offs, front and back walkovers, as well as back handsprings and other advanced tumbling skills
Proper stunt technique and strength training
The goals for the practice team will be to gain the skills necessary to dazzle at any school tryout as well as to seamlessly join the members of the current full time cheer team for the start of the new season in May.
Once again please let me know if you have any questions and I hope to see you Tuesday!

Steeltown Results
Nice Visuals
Nice Choreography
Very Clean basket tosses to roll dismount
Love the stunt seq.!
Lots of Potential - Push It
Those are just a few of the comments the judges made on our score sheets yesterday!
We got our national bid and even though we took 2nd, we were only a half point away from first place.
Great Job ladies.

Freezing Friday
The gym will still be open tonight for open gym if you are wanting to come in and work out 5-8.
Times have changed a bit for Saturday...
I need all cheerleaders at Robert Morris no later than 10:30 am. You must be fully uniformed, make uped, with hair done and bow in by 10:30. If you need help with this please let me know so we can arrange to meet earlier. Our scheduled warm up time is 11:30, Our scheduled performance time is 11:50.
I would suggest that you sew your hair bow into your pony tail as we did in Indy. please make sure you sew it threw the small hole in the clip base then threw the fastener on one side, then threw the pony tail holder and pony tail, then threw the small hole on the other side of the clip. The first step insures that your daughters clip is sewn shut and will not come open while she is cheering.
I have been asked to let everyone know that a group of parents are planning on going out to eat after the competition. If you are interested in joining in on the fun please contact Stacey - you can text or call her at 724 350 4262 or e-mail her at staceyalt@msn.com
The girls had a good practice last night! I look forward to seeing them on the competition floor tomorrow!! Once again I would like to say how proud I am of Marissa and Kayleigh for stepping up and doing what needed to be done for the pyramid this week, Great Job Girls!!!!
I hope to see you tonight, if not I will see you tomorrow morning!
Stay Warm -

"It's not the will to win that matters - everyone has that. It's the will to prepare to win that matters." Paul "Bear" Bryant
I came across that quote today and it really hit home. We have not had a full team practice since before Indy. I already know we will not have everyone on Wednesday and I am not sure who will show up on Monday and Thursday. We are a team and when even one team member misses a practice the entire team suffers at competition. I want the girls to enjoy cheering at Gymsport but that is not the main reason we are a part of a competitive cheerleading team. And let me tell you, it’s a lot more fun when we are winning. I just want to prepare all of you for the possibility of us coming in last place on Saturday as well as the possibility of us not receiving our bid to nationals. I say this, not because I do not have faith in the girls or in the routine, but simply because I feel we are not as prepared, as a team, as we could and should be. As of now we are against 4 other teams on Saturday.
I need the girls to be at the competition by 11am – please make sure you leave time to park and walk to the venue from the parking lot.
We are scheduled to compete around 12:20 and awards should be over by 2.
If this changes I will let you know, these are only tentative times.
This week’s practice schedule – Monday 6-8, Wednesday 6-8:30, Thursday 6-8:30, Open gym Friday 5-8 (optional but suggested)
