April Team Huddle Notes

Current April 28, 2022 – Nb

 

Notes from the April Team Huddles:

 
Our current season and the commitment with each team goes through May 31st and we still have various coaches and teams at competitions through May 8. Please complete all make-ups for the 2022 season before May 31st.
 
Currently, our team coaches attend daily training and communicate regularly with each other about future level recommendations for team members.
 
In May we will send out a survey to all team members to get feedback about what meets the gymnasts and families enjoyed most and learn more about what went well and how we can continue to improve.
 
Our end-of-season celebration is Saturday, May 14. Some teams may decide to have their own independent parties in addition.
 
Connect with Judge Tracy Duncan on Monday, May 16 at 6:15pm 
 
Starting mid-May coaches will meet individually with the families of current team members to discuss how this season went, goals for the future, level and program recommendations for the 2023 season. The list of skills for each level will be distributed in May and each girl’s progress will be discussed individually with her family during the individual meeting.
 
We plan to provide Team Open Gym on Saturdays, from 9:00am – 12:00pm starting June 11. Please register at least 48 hours in advance.
 
For Xcel teams, the month of June is flexible. Gymnasts may attend all or 50% and pay pro-rated tuition. This will also be the time when gymnasts can try another program (the Developmental or TNT) without the long-term commitment. If recommended by the coaches, gymnasts will start to phase into training with higher-level teams (strategically and by invitation, to make it a great experience for everyone involved). USAGDP team members train more hours year-round and also will not have reduced training in June (although family vacations are always encouraged).
 
The USAGDP and TNT teams start their summer schedule on June 20, with morning training at Pines. Xcel teams will train afternoon and evenings. Many teams will start training an hour earlier in the summer. Please see the detailed schedule below.
 
June 13 – 30 – Prospective new team members will attend team orientations and gymnasts will be assessed.
 
Both Spokane Gymnastics locations will be closed July 4 – 9, and as always, we will not charge tuition for that time. July tuition for teams will be pro-rated.
 
July 11 – Newly formed teams kick-off (new and existing team members)
 
July 25 – 29 – Team Camp #1 (pre-teams, Xcel Bronze and Silver, USAGDP Level 3 and 4)

Happy handstands!

 

Secret Sister – all season long, then a big reveal at the end-of-season parties. It does not need to be associated with meets or involve big or elaborate gifts. Small notes of encouragement, etc. You can give items to Kourtnie at the service desk or discretely to the coach, who will distribute them. Random, fun surprises are the intention.

Big Sister Little Sister – we have kicked it off, and gymnasts are meeting once a week.
