Introduction
We hope you’ve been enjoying the fall weather! We would like to remind you that the Gym will be open on Halloween, Tuesday, October 31st for regularly scheduled classes. Next month we will however be closed on Thursday, November 23rd for Thanksgiving. The USAG Boys and XCEL/AAU Team are starting their competitive season very soon in the next couple weeks. Event Specific classes start this week and Rhythmic and Dance starts the week of November 6th, if you’re interested see below for more information.
Recreational Programs
Event Specific classes are the same price as before, $20, and will be offered from 7:30pm – 8:00pm Monday through Friday. The current schedule is as follows:
- Monday 7:30pm: Trampoline with Coach Kevin.
- Tuesday 7:30pm: Bars with Coach Kat.
- Wednesday 7:30pm: Bars with Coach Kevin.
- Thursday 7:30pm: Floor with Coach Kat.
- Friday 7:30pm: Trampoline with Coach Kevin.
These classes are drop-in so no commitment is required, however, we are only offering this to current families so this may supplement their current training. As a reminder, Event Specific classes are capped at a maximum of 4 students so please register ahead of time. If we see that an hour before training no student is scheduled to attend, then we will not be holding the Event Specific class for that night. Please call or email the front desk to register.
The reason we offer Event Specific training is because we noticed that students of all skill levels typically have events that are weaker than others and struggle to obtain certain skills, even if they excel in specific areas. These classes were designed with these particular students in mind with the goal of improving skill acquisition, strength, and confidence. It is common that a child my feel frustrated being stuck in the same level because they need extra help on a specific event and private classes are a luxury not everyone can afford. This is also why the class ratio is restricted to four students at the most.
Rhythmic and Dance classes start Monday, November 6th, and will be offered to girls at the beginner 2 level or higher. This class will incorporate Rhythmic Gymnastics Apparatuses such as ribbons, hoops, balls, and ropes. It is a $30 drop-in class that will be offered on Mondays 6:00pm – 8:00pm.
Lastly, we would like to remind you that we opened Sports Acro drop-in classes on Saturday afternoons earlier this month! Please call or email the front desk for more information.
Team Programs
The USAG Boys Team will be competing in the Paul Hamm meet the weekend of November 17th – 19th. We hope to see our team members start the season off right as we know and we’ve seen how hard working our athletes are.
The GIJO and XCEL/AAU Teams will be happy to know that Genevieve is doing great! She returned to the gym this past week and shared with us that her arm is in the process of feeling better. Feel free to sign her cast; she will have it removed in five weeks and doesn’t mind having it signed by the coolest kids ever. The XCEL Team will be competing in the Judges Cup the weekend of November 9th – 11th.
