Happy Fall!

On behalf of the entire Aftershock Gymnastics family, I thank you for registering in the 2017 Desert Spooktacular. We can’t wait for you to arrive. We are working hard to make this one of the best meets you attend this season!

Included in this packet is valuable information to share with your parents and coaches that will help them navigate the area and prepare for their arrival at the meet.

If you have not yet made your hotel reservations at the JW Marriott Desert Springs ($179) don’t forget to mention “DESERT SPOOKTACULAR” when you make your reservation to ensure you get the discounted room rate and lowered resort fees.

At this time, all clubs are receiving a copy of their roster and the final statement for their entries. All age divisions are being determined by age at the competition, and any updates to your roster should be emailed to us as soon as possible. We will not make changes to your roster at the meet. If you have any discrepancies in your line-up, now is the time to notify us of those updates including gymnast names, spelling, level and date of birth. All sessions are full. Any level changes, gymnast swaps and late entries are subject to availability. The scratch deadline has come and past… there are no more refunds for scratches at this time.

Coaches Note: Coaches should plan on being split into multiple squads if you are a larger team or are in a session that has multiple levels. Rotation schedules will be available for each session when you arrive to the meet. If you have a conflict being split into multiple groups, please contact our club right away.

For questions or to submit roster updates, please email us at or . Then keep watching our Desert Spooktacular weblink on www.aftershockgymnastics.com. Updated session schedules will be posted online up to the meet weekend.

Happy October to all… we will see you soon!
