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/

How cool is this? I encourage everyone to attend this rare opportunity to hear life experiences from someone who has been to the top. Much better than listening to my stories of back when I was a gymnast ;)

Hello 2011, We are here and so is this blog!
Sunday, January 2, 2011
How many times did you practice writing 2011 so you don't get it wrong when the time comes to write today's date? I've attempted over 10 times but still find myself still writing 2008!
As everyone enjoys their last week of break before practices pick up again, I am busy editing and putting the finishing touches on the video from the 2nd Annual 2010 Winter Classic Competition. In addition to the video, our SACAC Gymstars Sponsorship packages will be available very soon. On that note, a big thank you to our Winter Classic Sponsors: Terima kasih, merci, obrigado, 谢谢!
If anyone has any pics from Winter Classic they would like to share for the blog, please send my way.
