Meet Season

Hello!

We are well underway in the fall season of our second year at Premier Complex. The meet schedule is now posted on the website calendar page so go check that out! Most of the gymnasts are sitting with completed routines on all areas. This makes the next month easy with just polishing up the skills and cleaning up the dance.

The beam room is void of the ceiling now and painting is going to begin this evening. The lights should be installed by then end of next week so after all that is done we will get to enjoy two sets of bars in the floor room and still have access to all of our seven beams. THANK GOD!

Thanks to everyone that helped out at the foodstand during Amery Fall Festival. The booster club is very appreciative of any help they can get. The parade was a success and very fun, the girls looked good despite having to tumble on TAR. (!!)

Still looking for fundraising ideas so if anyone out there has a good one, let's look into it! Have a great weekend and keep flipping.

Elli

I went today to visit Elli. She is one of the team gymnasts for Premier. She had been diagnosed with Cushings disease and they removed a tumor from her putuitary gland. She is doing well, but will be absent from the gym for around three months. As many of you know her and I share a special bond and she rides with me in the mornings to the gym as I munch my breakfast apple and prepare my head for the day. She always gives me this one eyebrow raised look as we drive and she tells me of her saga's. She is 11 but seems to be 35. She is an amazing girl. If you would like to send a card or an email let me know and I will get you the information. Since she is a gym addict the recovery is going to seem pretty extreme to her so don't leave her behind! Keep in touch with her. I am thanking God that they were able to find it and stop the damage. She should be out of the hospital next week. <3 We love you Elli!!

August

August is progressing well. Having some fun with back tucks on the beam, double backs for floor and new release moves and mounts on the bars. The gymnasts keep moving forward, keep impressing us with their thriving skill bases. We are looking forward to September, to see all the team kids together in the gym. If you have not already, please pick up your gymnasts photos in the gym. Cahill did an awesome job with the photos, be sure to send them out a quick email to thank them! If you do not have in your team registration papers, please be sure to do that, the deadline is August 15th.

See you in the gym!

Gym life

Last night the pictures went great! Thank you, everyone, who took the time out of their evenings to be there. I think we will be extremely happy with the photos. It was pretty sweet having all three teams together! Get used to it, that will be how it is throughout the season.

We had the board meeting at the community center last night and are excited about the possibility of getting that room next to ours for our beam room so we can move the bars and tramp into the room we are using now. If that happens we will have everything within seconds. Thanks to the parents who stayed to attend the meeting with me. It is always nice to have that support.

Looking out into the next month, we have some enrolled for August. It looks like a small month of gymnasts but if you have not signed up yet, please make sure you do so by the 22nd of July because I need to give the coaches the schedules. All team members are REQUIRED to start practicing in September and will need to hold good attendance at 85% for the entire season. Please be prepared to make that commitment.

Have a great weekend, although the weather feels like the beginning of winter it will be nice to spend time with the kids!

It's been a very exciting summer for Premier. The gymnasts have achieved so many goals and have once again surpassed our expectations. I am excited about the new coach on staff and also I am liking the new beam and floor training room. We are doing the team photo for 2009-10 this month so make sure to check the website for that date and time. Also, the August schedule is up on the web so if you are going to enroll and have not, make sure to get that information in.
