Open Labor Day

1. Open Labor Day
2. Equip Fees & Meet Fees
3. National Gymnastics Day
4. Acro Trial Day Sept 21st
5. Leo Exchange Program
6. WJT Cheerleaders are coming

1.Open Labor Day – We will be open Labor Day! All closes will go as normal!

2.Equip Fees & Meet Fees – There have been a few questions about meet fees. Prior to last year we tried to collect as the deadlines each arrived.  As the team grew it got nuts and in the midst of meet season we chasing money, missing payments, missing deadlines, losing checks… It just makes more sense now! It was great last year to be the first registered for every meet and it made us in the office way more efficient.  It also does put families in a committed mode to the season and the importance of the meets. Imagine having soccer practice and never a game.. Meets are not only a great assessment tool- it is a chance for each child to shine!  Equipment fees go for the purchase of things we MUST have for the team. Eurotramps, double minis, special landing zones, the rod floor are all things that we would not need to purchase if there was no team. The team has priority on all these pieces of equipment.  Last year we had to replace two of the Eurotramp beds and they cost about 7k.  So the majority of this years fees will finish paying those and then we are going to try to get the video playback system we have wanted to aid training.

3.National Gymnastics Day - Don’t forget that we will need performers and volunteers for National Gymnastics Day September 18/19 at the Galleria at Roseville.  We are searching to find a new season exhibition leo in time, but may have to do something else. This will be a fun opportunity to show all the cool new gymnastics things we do at AP! The kids have great fun and see friends and if we are lucky a few new kids join AP.

4.Acro Trial Day Sept 21st – Many of the kids have been very captivated with the new acro classes going on the back floor.  If your child would like to do this class for fun or even possibly join the team. We are going to offer a free acro trial day at 5:30PM on Tuesday Sept. 21st . This class could be a fun way for the athletes to become more flexible and strong due to the hand balancing and range of motion required for acro.  There will be a discount for team members interested in this as an add on class.

5.Leo Exchange Program – We want to remind you of our leo exchange program.  If you want to trade sizes in comp uniforms please let us know what sizes you have to trade- there is no cost for the things you trade as long as you “give” what you “get.  ALSO you can bring in your old practice wear- all those outgrown leos in the drawers and do the same through APTTA you can trade 1:1 or if you donate APTTA resells at $10 in the parent room.

6.WJT Cheerleaders are coming – It is about to get A LOT busier in the gym.  The Woodcreek Junior Timberwolves will begin practicing on the new foam floors up front.  There will be 60 kids up there with music going Mon-Thurs evenings from now until February.  They lost their practice hall and we have rented them space for their season.  We have really enjoyed their high level of professionalism and respect for our facility.  We may have a few bumps as things get under way, but look forward to this opportunity.

7. A few congrats! Congrats to Jake for making the World Age Group Team for a second consecutive year. Jake was ranked as one of the top 13/14 yr olds in the USA and will again represent the USA this time in Metz France in November. Also congrats to Jordan, Alyssa, Alexander, and Kyle for being chosen to attend the Olympic Development Team selection camp that will be held here at AP in October.  We are proud to continue to put our athletes on the brightest and upcoming superstar teams for USA Gymnastics Trampoline and Tumbling.

1. Help Send Jordan to Portugal! – Donations needed to send Team AP’s 2010 Olympic Development Team member Jordan to Portugal. Until last week, we thought that Team USA may not have an International assignment for the ODP team, but details have been finalized to attend the World Cup event in Loulle Portugal.  Unfortunately due to the timing after Nationals, it creates a funding hardship.  If anyone would like to donate to help send Jordan on his first International
assignment- please contact Courtney at APTTA or Amy at the gym.  If we do not raise enough money we will have to notify USA-Gymnastics that Jordan will not be able to attend.

2. Camping Trip Success - Once again an amazing experience on the annual team camping trip.  What a great opportunity to get to know the athletes and their families and build the bonds of friendship and trust that keeps the children involved and growing into healthy, happy adults. Thanks to everyone that attended and especially the families that brought their boats to keep the water fun flying!

3. Mandatory Parent Meeting – Reminder of our mandatory parent meeting on Monday August   . We hope to have the competition schedule for the upcoming season as well as updates to our team program and handbook.

4. Where are Ron and Susan – Just in case you forgot- This is the annual week we head to Michigan to coach at the T&T Scholarship camp.  Camp Wakeshma is the major funding source for the Trampoline and Tumbling college scholarship program.  We would love to see many AP athletes joining us next year at camp! Following Wakeshma, is the Visa Elite Nationals Championships in Hartford Connecticut.  Fantastic timing for Coach George Sr to return to the program to assist in class coverage in our absence.  This is the time of the year where we test and review all basics in addition to the fun 100 skill challenge. Additionally Coach Tyler is home working at Sunsplash and will lend his double mini expertise as his other schedule allows. Our women’s’ artistic coach George Jr  who narrowly missed the Olympic Team in Men’s gymnastics but also represented the USA at the T&T World Championships is helping the T&T team while we are gone. Haley is also there to provide her excellent coaching skills as well- We have left you all in VERY capable hands!

5. Woodward Camp – The Woodward camp is just around the corner.  IF you would like your child to ride in one of the carpools headed south over Labor Day weekend please notify us of that need and we will arrange transportation for them.  We anticipate leaving around noon that Friday.

6. Letters to Coach Jamie – Coach Jamie is half way through his Marine Officer Candidate School and is doing very well. He has been appointed Platoon Leader for his company.  The team made some notes of encouragement to let him know we are thinking of him If your family would like to send a note of your own ask Amy or Coach Stephanie for his address.  He returns August 26th.

7. USAG – registration is due today. Your child’s current membership will expire tomorrow. All you need to do is fill out the form that is in your family folder and return it to Amy. She will process all registrations/renewals online and use your credit card that we have on file.
