Parents and Gymnasts,

Last night we held our second Parent Meeting. Here’s a recap:

Policies:

Coach Dave went over the policies with, both, parents and gymnasts. If you have not returned your signed policy please do so today.

Transportation and Coaching Donation:

The previous email (and amount) indicated a donation amount of $25 . If you have already paid that, great! Coach Dave indicated that $20 is for travel and any donation for coaching is appreciated (recommended $15). Remember that donations for the team go to support coaching costs, as well as purchase awards and equipment. Donations of $200 or more will earn a free banquet meal at the end of the season. Snap fundraise does take a commission from what we raise so if you are going to make a donation to the team, please use one of our payment buttons or take a check into the office.

Fees:

I will be sending out individual account information next Monday. Please be sure that all payments have been submitted this week so your account reflects accurately. Fees consist of Leotards, Warmups, Gym Bags and Travel/ Coaching donations.

Fundraising:

Snap Fundraise has been initiated and we’ve already raised over $1500 for a new set of bars!
Please assist by adding extra emails and posting on social media. The more emails and texts we send, the closer we are to our goal!

Swag Gear is available!
Go to https://www.tzilla.com/
Browse fundraisers and look for Poway Gymnastics. Select the T shirt first and then edit the item to get what you’d like. It would be really awesome if families wore green in the stands :)
Proceeds go directly to the team.

Team Dinners:

This year we will be offering team dinners in our very own homes. We created a sign up sheet that includes the following options for signing up: Host, Pasta Dinner, Garlic Bread, Drinks, Dessert

There were questions regarding location and hosting so I’d like to ask you…
1. Are you okay if we choose a host in Escondido? (only respond if you disagree to travel that distance)
2. When you select yourself as a host, will you please let me know if you can host just the girls or the girls and their parents?

*Spaghetti may be substituted for a carb filled meal of your choice

Snack Shack:

Karen is requesting candy donations in order to run the snack shack. We have two home meets so we have a limited opportunity to raise $$$. Candy sells. So anything along the lines of “good selling” candy… she’ll take it. Lisa said that Smart and Final has great candy deals. The team will provide a hot food item and drinks. We are open to a few people donating drinks instead of candy. Just be sure to talk to Karen first so we don’t have an influx of any one item. Her number is 757-604-7788.

We also need volunteers for the snack shack. Please let Karen know if you can help out on either (or both).

Score Keeping:

Cory is managing our scoring and is asking for someone who would like to assist with the program (train now and manage later) If you are interested, please introduce yourself to him prior to our home meet and you can sit in the scoring area to see what’s involved.

Additionally, we need help at the end of our two meets, arranging the ribbons. If you have the ability to sort (which is all of you) then you can help. Just check in with me at the scoring table during a meet.

Practice Snacks:

I am going to have a cooler available at the school that will have snacks available for the girls during practice. In order for it to be safe from other students and ants, gymnasts will manage the cooler. If you would like to donate some snacks, please send them to practice.

We are just a couple weeks away from our first meet! Thanks for all of the cooperation and help starting this season off with a BANG!
