Our first meet is already here!!! Please have ensure the girls are at the gym at 3:30pm on Thursday. We do have to set up the gym for the meet (move bleachers, extra mats, etc) and open gym is at 4:15pm. We try and march in at 5:50pm so that competition can start at 6:00pm. Typically dual meets are over in 2 hours but this can vary based on the judges assigned to our meet (i.e. new or inexperienced judges can take longer). After the meet the girls will not be excused until the gym is cleaned up. There isn't a lot of down time at the meets so I encourage the girls to have some snacks after school (even if it's on the way and during set up).

DON'T FORGET

• Competition leo (will be distributed this week at practice)
• Practice leo (worn with black bike shorts ONLY)
• Under Armour blue jacket & black capri leggins (for march in)
• Appropriate undergarments - please try on your leos with your undergarments to ensure no straps are showing (which is a deduction)
• BHS spirit wear - you are ONLY allowed to wear BHS spirit wear at meets so please bring either your blue tank or t-shirt

Team Dinner: 

Our first team dinner will be Wednesday, August 29 at Gabby Dorato's house. We will carpool as a team to Gabby's house after practice (if you don't want your daughter potentially riding with another gymnast please tell her so she can ride with a coach). Plan on picking your daughters or carpools up from Gabby's house around 7-7:15pm. 

Gabby's address is 13940 Cortez Court, Broomfield, CO 80020. 

Team Pictures: 

We are in the process of trying to schedule our team picture...please be advised that I've requested either a Tuesday afternoon (before our evening practice) or a Friday afternoon (other than 9/7 because we have a meet). Please just make a mental note so that when it is scheduled everyone can be in attendance. 

Calendar Update

I've uploaded a new calendar because a few typo's were brought to my attention and I wanted to avoid confusion.

The October 9 practice is for everyone as our meet at Niwot on October 10 is our last regular season meet.

The Tuesday practices in October listed in green our TBD...depending on the rec class sizes we may move those practices to the afternoon from 4-6 or they may stay in the evening . We'll make a decision closer to October.

Parents Meeting Follow Up

Thank you for attending tonight's meeting...I really am excited for what will sure to be a fantastic season!

Calendar - I have uploaded what should be a final calendar (barring any mistakes or unforeseeable changes)

Team Dinners - Thank you to the families that signed up to host dinners. If any upperclassmen would like to host or co-host and didn't have the opportunity please let me know ASAP and we can re-arrange. Those hosting dinners please send me your address and written directions so I can distribute them at practice to those driving and to parents. Please note that on these nights you'll need to plan on picking up (or carpooling) your daughters from the hosts house around 7-7:15pm

Snacks - Please plan on providing food for 25 people. This doesn't necessarily mean you need to make 25 sandwiches (although some of you may choose to do so) but instead just enough of something for everyone to feel they have something in their bodies for fuel for the night.

Those in red, please let me know if these dates and items are okay. I felt it best to fill in the first meets and then we can decide how to handle Regionals and State based on those that will be in attendance.

Parent Shirts - Thank you to everyone for your support...can't wait to see our Parent Section at the first meet. Those that ordered shirts please make the checks out to PM Shirts. And if anyone would like to place an order just let me know in the next day or so. BHS shirts can be ordered in long sleeve, short sleeve, royal with white writing or white with royal writing and are $12 each.

We have some "Super B" shirts in small and medium left for $10 each.

Spirit Packs - All but a few were able to pay me for the spirit packs...THANK YOU! If you haven't paid please bring a check in by the end of the week. The balance for new comers to the team is $126 and returning members is $86.

THANK YOU!
Erika, Bob & Whitney

Thursday          Practice                            4:00-6:00pm

Reminder...the Rec Center is closed this week for maintenance so we encourage parents to wait outside the building for pick up or come immediately down to and inside the gym. The center will be in disarray and staff doesn't want girls or parents wondering around. 

Parents Meeting
Please plan on having at least one parent attend this meeting. We will be covering a LOT of information pertinent to our competition season including....

• Team rules and athletic code of conduct
• Meet schedules/information
• Team dinner/snacks rotation
• Roster/phone list
• Booster Club
• Spirit Packs

This meeting will be held in the gym at Paul Derda. Please try your best to arrive on time; because of the Rec closure we will meet you at the front door and try and escort everyone down to the gym. 

Spirit Packs

All of our spirit pack gear is in and ready to distribute to the girls (which they are very excited about)! I always try hard to find good quality products for a good value and this year was no exception. This year's spirit packs include: 

• Alpha Factor sleeveless warm up leotard
• Under Armour hoodie 
• Under Armour tank (given out at the car wash)
• Under Armour nap sack
• Team t-shirt
• Under Armour zip up jacket (new team members only)

Returning members not needing a new jacket will pay $86

New members (including jacket) will pay $126

Because of our success at the car washes and the support of our BHS Booster Club we were able to essentially purchase the tank leos ($60 value) instead of passing that cost on to you.  So, for the amount listed above you are receiving over $200 worth of gear that the girls get to keep!

Please send a check with your daughter to practice or bring to the parent's meeting on Tuesday night. You can make your check out to BHS Gymnastics. 

Stay in the loop....

Don't forget to input your email in the "Follow By E-mail" option on the right hand side of the page to receive email notification everytime I post an update on the website! As always if you have any questions or concerns please let me know!

MEET CHANGE

Please make note of a change on our schedule...our meet at Niwot has been moved to Wednesday, October 10 (from October 9). The start time will remain 6:00pm.

2012 BHS Schedule

Week 1...Week of August 13

Car Wash Fundraiser
Thanks to everyone for your help at the car wash, especially if you had friends and/or family attend. We raised $600 on Saturday and that money will go directly towards your spirit packs.

What is a spirit pack? Your spirit pack will consist of a t-shirt, sweatshirt, tank, gym bag and sleeveless leotard that you will wear throughout the season to school, team events and meets. Everything in the spirit pack is yours to keep, including the Alpha Factor tank leo. The school asks that we limit these spirit packs to $100 but because we purchase the individual tank leos we tend to go over that amount slightly which is why we do a couple of additional fundraisers. My goal this year was to get every girl $50 towards their spirit pac leaving the remaining balance at $100. I'll have the final dollar amount for you at the parent's meeting on the August 21, and the money will be due by August 28.

2012...BOOM!

Can you believe summer is already over and our season is just over a week away? We had a great time at our Ripped and Ready camp last week and overall it's been a productive summer with a lot of new faces. I speak for all of the coaches when I say we are excited to get the season started!

This is your go-to site for the season, I'll be posting weekly updates with our weekly schedule and important reminders as well as where you can find all of the important information/forms you may need to reference throughout the year. Also, please sign up for the "follow by email" function so that you'll be emailed every time I post something new. I've also created a Facebook page that I've asked all of the girls to follow so they are in the loop and have access to everything as well. Communication is a two way street and I expect the girls to know what's going on as well. The Facebook group is Broomfield Eagles Gymnastics and you are welcome to join as well.

 As a parent we ask that you be as involved in your daughter's high school career as possible and specifically our girls are always hoping for a true "parents section" at all of our meets. So please, don't be shy, get to know each other and cheer loud!
