Weekly Schedule

We are so proud of the team's improved performance at last Thursday's meet and their overall effort and attitude in practice. We still have room for improvement and want to keep our momentum going. Plan on being loud and proud at both meets this week!!

It will be a BUSY week please help keep the girls healthy and rested.

*We will be recognizing parents during march in so please try and be in attendance
Competition to begin at 6:00pm

Mountain Range is a big rival of ours so wear your blue and be loud!!  

Meet Set Up
Saturday will be the 34th Annual Broomfield Invitational, one of the longest running high school meets in the state. Because this is our meet we are responsible for set up, running and clean up. We co-host with Mountain Range at their school because they have the equipment and space but we need all hands on deck to help. Set up is mandatory so please plan on attending. We usually get the gym set up fairly quickly and our goal is to have the girls out of there by 5pm.

3:30-5:00pm at Mountain Range HS - park/drop off at the back of the school near the tennis courts

Broomfield Invitational - at Mountain Range High School 
Arrive by 7:45am (open gym is at 8:00am)
March In at 9:35am
Competition begins around 9:50am
Awards approximately 3:00pm

We will warm up two events then compete those two events. There will be an hour break around 12pm of the second warm up session and then the conclusion of the meet.

Our competition order is Vault-Beam-Bars-Floor

This will be gate admission charged $5 adults / $4 students & seniors

Sandwiches - Kelsey
Snacks - Heather
Drinks - Sarah

I know that Saturday is homecoming at a few schools, this happens most years and the following is our policy on attendance. All girls are required to be at the competition for the entire day but I usually release those going to the dance after the completion of our final event (floor). Please understand I can't simply dismiss the entire team as we need to be there to help clean up the gym and for awards. This year's meet is a few teams smaller than last year so there's a chance we might be completely done by 2:30-3:00pm but of course I can't guarantee a time. There is plenty of down time at an invite so most years girls bring their curling irons and start getting ready at the school. Please make plans accordingly and be realistic with your time (i.e. don't schedule group pictures for 3pm because in all likely hood you will still be at the gym).

Loveland Invite

What a great performance last night at the first big invite of the year. A season high 181.3 and 2nd place. The coaches and girls are very happy with where we are at this point...still a lot of work to do and potential to reach.

I've uploaded the videos from last night to my youtube page. Please have your daughter watch so they can learn from their performance.

Thanks!!

Weekly Schedule - Week 4

What a fantastic start to the season. Because of two judges being sick our meet was a little chaotic but the girls did great despite the confusion and I thought performed well! This coming week will be busy, please make sure you are getting enough rest, nutrition and taking care of yourself!

Team Dinner 
We still need two co-hosts (including a host home) for the team dinner on Tuesday 9/8. Currently Cheri Abdalati is the only host family. If we don't have two other hosts it will be the first time ever we won't have a team dinner. Preferably we like to have the dinners at homes in Broomfield so we can get there quickly after practice. Please divide the work so the effort isn't only on one family.

Loveland Invite
This is our first invite of the year (and the only one that falls on a Friday). We will only compete one team at this meet and we will distribute line-up on Thursday so the girls will know if they are competing. Non-competitors are excused from school and expected/encouraged to attend as well. If you/your daughter doesn't feel they can miss the afternoon of school they are welcome to come after school (must provide own transportation).

  • Outlying school releases at 11:45am / BHS at 12:00pm 
  • Bus Departs BHS at 12:15pm (DROP OFF ONLY)
  • Girls need to arrange for rides home from Loveland High School. Parents of competitors please help with carpooling girls home. If you can't find a ride let me know ASAP!!!!
  • March In at 4:00pm 
  • Our competition order is Beam-Bars-Floor-Vault (meaning we will probably be competing on beam by 4:20pm 
Team Pictures
Our team pictures are scheduled for Monday, September 21 at 5:30pm at PDRC. We will practice before at 3:30pm. We will start with the team picture and then take individual pictures. Please bring your competition leotard and your warm up jacket/capris. 

Spirit Packs
I should have spirit packs to hand out before our meet Wednesday. Below is the breakdown of costs. Please bring a check made payable to BHS Gymnastics. Because of being under budget at camp and money from our Booster Club balances due are different. Please see below and if you have any questions let me know. 

             Returning Team Members  = $94.50
             New Team Members = $155.75

The main difference for the amount is the Under Armour Jacket with Jewells that we wear for march in. Also, please keep in mind that the clothing items you receive are yours to keep and include (UA jacket, bag (newbies), t-shirt, 2 tank tops, sweatshirt, capri's, shorts). 

Thanks again for all of your support!
