Gym Closure

December 17-Jan 2, 2022

            Have a safe and fun BREAK. Normal practices resume January 3, 2022

 

Gym “Remodel”

Thanks to our gym fundraiser to help offset some costs, we will be re-doing our gym floor (springs) to get rid of “dead spots” and broken boards. We will be needing to replace about 60-70 boards and springs! If you would like to donate to our gym “renovation” please contact me directly. Also, if you’re handy and have some free time, please reach out as well, Coach JJ and myself will be putting together our “to do” list. 

This will be taking place Thursday evening after the holiday party-Sunday morning, December 19, 2021

            HAIR 

            STRAIGHT HAIR, HIGH PONY. Please speak with me directly if there is an issue with this. As we move into “Bigger” two day events, I would like our program to begin acclimating into a cohesive look amongst all levels. 

            If a team has an agreed upon look, it will be for one day (of a 2 day event).
