1. Awesome Luau – Thanks so much to all of you for coming and making the end of year team luau such an awesome experience for everyone! It was amazing to see the kids play together and participate in the all the fun activities that were there.  We also loved seeing the parents be able to visit in a relaxed family atmosphere outside of gym or competition. It was a pleasure to have you all at our place and look forward to many years to come!  Thanks for the great home depot card! Ron’s man cave ( the icky storage room) was finished on Father’s day in time for a fun evening of poker with dads, cousins, and nephews! Ask him to see a picture of the final result if you want! We also sure appreciate the hard work the APTTA Board ( Courtney, Jen, Lisa, & Carrie) for the food and our games and set up crew (Amy, Amy, Celeste, Haley, Nancy) putting it all together.

2.Gym Closed next week – Just a reminder that our gym is closed next week. The kids DO NOT have a conditioning list- They get a whole week completely off! The only thing we ask is that they stay active – find some fun summer activities to do!  We will open again on July 5th!

3. AP Half Day T&T Camp – Our half day T&T camp starts on July 12th  There is still space available in the T&T camp here, but I will have flyers at Nationals and expect it to fill before our return.  There will be many more drills and progressions for kids to get new skills than we have time for in regular class!

4.Team Camping Trip - Get all set  for team camping trip.. There a some sites still open to join in the fun, food, and great memories.  Water is high and should still be then.  We will be at Folsom again and will have big fun planned for Saturday if you can only come for the day!

1.Team Luau & Parent Meeting Sunday - The team luau end of year party, award ceremony, and mandatory parent meeting are this Sunday at the Jacobson’s new place in Penryn. The fun begins at 2PM with games and social time, followed by the APTTA sponsored meal at 5PM, and then the awards & parent meeting at 6PM. Be sure and bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on, drinks for the afternoon, marshmallow roasting sticks, & sun block.

As a child my Dad was a Shriner and every year we went to a family Luau at one of his friends houses in Las Vegas. It was always one of the highlights of my summer- he had a true oasis with every fun thing a kid could dream of doing.  We ran free on his acreage “Jerry Berry Berry’s Patch”, played volleyball and croquet, swam, fished, and ended the day with s’mores.  Ron & I hope to make this new property hold that same memory your family as time goes by! We look forward to having you at our own little “Berry Patch”.

2. Awesome Youth Olympic Selection & Cirque Show – This has been a spectacular week for our athletes to witness our sport at it’s highest form.  The USA chose Hunter Brewster and Savannah Vinsant ( both athletes coached by our regular clinician Dmitri Poliaroush)to represent our Country to the first Youth Olympic Games.  Both the Jr Elites and Sr Elites gave stunning performances in the competition held here Sunday night. Last night a large group from Team AP witnessed the spectacular grace and athleticism of the Cirque du Sloeil performance of Allegria.  The stunning aerial performances, feats of strength and flexibility kept the whole group on the edge of our seats.  Then through the kind hospitality of Cirque Staffer Isabel, We were able to wait after the show for a Q&A session with stage manager Alan and former Portuguese National Team member and Allegria’s Lead Trampolinist  Diogo Faria  The children got to ask questions and find out how they chose their cast, what they do, how much they train, and many more things from the gracious Cirque crew!  If you missed Allegria with us- it will be at Arco all weekend and we highly recommend seeing it if there are seats still available!

3. Dress Code for summer workouts - The heat is finally here! Just a reminder from our parent handbook that there is a dress code for workout! Girls must be in a leotard, shorts are permitted if they are the tight form fitting ones designed four our sport- hair must be in a ponytail or a bun, boys must wear a mens step in or a tight fitting shirt like our exhibition one with shorts or trampoline pants.

4. Team Camping Trip - Team camping trip is right around the corner- July 23rd -25th.  The levels 9 and up and ages 13 and up may arrive the 22nd for the leadership development day that begins early Friday morning.  There are a few spots still available in the campground and I hear many of you have yet to book your space!

5.
