  • Open gym policy for all-stars: We encourage our athletes to come in and work on their skills outside of practice time. Therefore, we do allow our athletes to come in on their own and work. As long as they are not interfering with scheduled classes, they are free to do so anytime the gym is open (please note, they will not have a coach during their open gym time). All teams will receive a squad skill goal, as well as personal goals to achieve for the summer so come in and GET THOSE SKILLS! We are making goal charts for all the teams this month. If your athlete has not already turned in some personal (measurable) goals to their coach- please do so as soon as possible.
  • ALSO, A REMINDER-YOUR ATHLETE IS NOT ALLOWED ON THE TRAMPOLINE WITHOUT COACH SUPERVISION. THIS IS A SAFETY RULE! PLEASE REMIND YOUR ATHLETES.
