September 2026 Newsletter
Hi everyone,
The coaches and girls have been working to get back into the swing of things at the gym. We are finding our groove with the scheduling during practices. The coaches have started working more on floor and beam routines. If you feel this is a struggle area for your gymnast feel free to stop into practice and get a recording of the coaches and gymnasts working on the routine. There are several videos you can find on youtube of compulsory routines but beware that a few of the poses are optional in the routine and every gym has their own variations of teaching a routine properly. We prefer they listen to us and our cue words when learning the routines.
Schedule
All practices will remain regular this month other than Labor Day. There is no practice on Labor Day.
Parade
From what I have heard the Perrysburg Parade is being cancelled this year due to construction in downtown Perrysburg.
