Team Members and Aug 3 Notes

Please approve that your athlete’s name is listed and that spelling is correct by 8/30 please

  • Team meeting notes from 8/3

  • Looking for volunteers for Kids Expo. This is an all day event from 8 am-4 pm.
      • Alicia Werger, Sara Keller, Alysse Steve, Christine Nesteby (please let me know if I have made errors)

      • I would like to do a handout like we did the last couple of years at competition… glitter candy, with a note “you would sparkle on stage”? Let me know your thoughts?

  • Just a reminder: no matter what goes on negatively about meets, performances, others team and other coaches, or even our members, please stay silent (unless it is going to cause harm to someone) and please come back to the studio and we will hash it out. Remember, it says much more about you as a negative person that it says about what is wrong/going wrong.

  • Dance: absolutely no photos or videos – we will be disqualified

  • Tumbling: yes you may take photos and videos (no flash photography) but you and your children must never enter the competition area, approach judges or hosts of meets

  • Gymnastics: yes you may take photos and videos (no flash photography) but you and your children must never enter the competition area, approach judges or hosts of meets

  • Everyone: arrive on time (which is earlier than you competition time), and arrive “fully dressed and prepared to compete”

  • Mr D and Alicia’s travel fees are taken care of through the recitals, tumbling events and fees that you are paying this summer. If there are additional coached, there may be additional fees.

  • Meet registration and payment amounts will be posted in the store for you to make payment. Due dates and totals will be included. I will let you know when they are posted. Tumbling Team schedule was just received Saturday and I usually do them all at once.

  • Dancers – you do not have registration with organizations other than us. We have registration for competition that I do when I register the dancers for the events., HOWEVER GYMNASTS DO HAVE SPECIFIC REGISTRATION WITH ORGANIZATIONS. Links for this will be sent out after Wed.

  • It is not too late to add competitors to dance, gym or tumbling. Like we have stated on your password pages, Once you are competing, please let me know by March 1st if each year if you are not continuing. I have to hire staff the 2nd week in March for summer and fall and I cannot offer a job to someone who needs testing and certification, and pay all of the fees for someone to say, “oh by the way, she has chosen another activity. You are always welcome to not come, however we will need the funds/tuition to take care of staff. If a child needs assistance and is loosing interest, please contact me so I can assist in a way that is best for your kiddo.

  • Usually I will send in registration and payments for meets on my own, well before the due date (as there have been times where meets get closed before deadlines) Please know once the payment is sent, there are no refunds.
