HI Everyone,
The Gym is kicking off for National Gymnastics Day on Sept 11th from 12:00-3:00 pm. Each individual that comes to our event will rotate through 8 stations. At each station they will be tested on how many or how long they can do each skill. They will receive points based on how they do. Then we will put up on our website how they are compare to their age bracket. Ex: How many cartwheels they can do in 1 minute. If they can touch their toes or even reach past. How long they can hold a handstand. How many spider dips they can do, how many assisted pull ups, Jump roping, how high they can climb the rope and etc. Then the week leading up to National Gymnastics Day we will be having fun activities during the gym classes. One idea is to wear the colors of our gym and come to the front office to receive a prize. If participants couldn't come Sept 11th we will have Tues and Thursday from 4:00-6:00 times available for them to come and be tested at the stations. Their scores
will be included on the website. Then on Sept 18th during our open gym we will be awarding the top female and male non gymnast a trophy and also the top female and male gymnast a trophy. We will have our bounce house, and other fun activities running during open gym. We will also be selling baked goods and charging $1.00 to participate. All of the money will be donated to The Children's Miracle Network. So bring your kids and their friends. The stations are for all age groups so you can participate too! It is going to be so much fun!!!
Also we were going to have the team parents on both the girls and boys side to bring baked goods the day of the event so that we can sell the proceeds to benefit “The Children’s Miracle Network”. If you can bring something please let me know! Also if you can help by sitting at the table to man the baked goods let me know too! I can hardly wait for this to happen!! See you soon!
