One week!

Thursday, February 24, 2011

Our trip to Manila is one week away and we only have 1 or 2 practices left to perfect our routines and get a game plan for our competition. There is much happening this week without Thursday or Friday practice...our Senior Girls Team will be performing during the County Fair on Saturday afternoon at 2:45, finishing touches on our Manila packets are to be done and I've been thinking of ways to help keep us entertained during our travels.


I realize while I'll most likely be sleeping (fingers crossed) during my midnight flight, the rest of the team and parents will be full of excitement and anticipation. I encourage all students to get their homework done during the 3 and a half hour flight so we can enjoy this trip to the fullest! I've made some fun puzzles for team members and parents to do to pass those down times waiting for flights or competition. Let's do some gymnastics with our minds too!

Competition Hair

Tuesday, February 8, 2011

How did she get through the metal detector with all those clips?! 


With less than a month until we land in Manila, lets take this time to check out some hair styles that would reflect our routines....AWESOME!


Some things to remember when picking the right hairstyle:
1. Many of us have a backward roll or extension roll in our routines. A centered ponytail might hit at the very same spot and be rather annoying. Opt for a low-laying ponytail, side or two sides. Is your hairstyle going to distract you from performance?
2. Is it going to stay put? We have enough to worry about during the competition!
3. How long is it going to take? Some of the hairstyles I've used take a couple hours to do. Make sure you have enough time to have your hair done BEFORE you leave the hotel for the competition.


I encourage you to pick one that suits you! Ideas are everywhere, here are some http://gymnasticshair.blogspot.com/
