2015 Season Begins!!!

Tomorrow is the first official day of our 2015 season!! This website is where I'll post weekly updates (they'll also be on our team Facebook page) so please be sure you are checking back here often or subscribing to "Follow by Email" feature on the left side of the page.

First Day of Practice
Monday marks the first day of practice and I MUST have a receipt from your athletic registration in order for your daughter to participate. Please be sure to bring the receipt to practice.

Mandatory Practices
As a reminder, every practice, team event and meet are MANDATORY from today through the State meet. A good rule of thumb for missing practice would be if you wouldn't miss school for an event, appt., etc. than you shouldn't miss practice. An unexcused absence will mean your daughter will not compete in the next meet.

Rec Center Closed
During this first week of practice Paul Derda Rec  Center will be closed for their annual maintenance. We are still allowed to practice during this week but there will be absolutely no one other than gymnasts and coaches allowed to enter the building. Please plan on drop off and pick ups outside and if you need to speak with me email is probably best during this week.

I am once again using Sign Up Genius for our team snacks and volunteer positions. You can find information on the specifics of each of these on the lists themselves. We ask that every family sign up for at least 2 items between the snacks and volunteer positions.

2015 Volunteer Positions

Parent Info Meeting / Team Sleepover / Car Wash
We will be having a Pizza Party / Parent Info Meeting on Friday, August 28 at 6pm. We are asking that every gymnast and at least one parent attend. Please RSVP using the following link and sign up to bring something. We have more athletes than needs for the party so if you don't sign up for slot here please sign up for a second meet snack slot.

Pizza Party / Parent Info Meeting

After the party/meeting the girls are invited (and encouraged) to stay over for a team sleepover and then carpool to the team car wash on Saturday morning.

We will have a car wash fundraiser on Saturday, August 29 at one of two TCF Bank locations in Broomfield. I will send out confirmation of the location the week of the wash.

  • Every gymnasts must bring a bucket, sponge & towel 
  • Don't forget your sunscreen


Spirit Packs
Spirit packs are on order and I should be able to distribute before our first meet. I will not be able to distribute to your daughter unless I've received payment. I'm still awaiting final totals from the screen printing company so I don't have a final amount for you but I should have it by the end of the week. Also, we were under budget at camp so those that did attend camp will receive a credit towards their spirit pack. Please be patient and keep an eye out for updates.


I think that's all for now (whew!). I know this is a LOT of information to digest so please read through everything a couple of times. I apologize for all of the sign up lists but it really does take a village and everything we do is really to help make the season go as smooth and easy as possible. I'm always available if you should have any questions or concerns. Thanks for all of your support and we are looking forward to a GREAT season!!
