Practices: Practice times are split between one of the schools (this year will be Davidson) and Fliptastic! Gymnastics. Practice Times/Days TBD- usually practice between 4-5 days/week. Practices run from 2-3 hours each day.
Meets: There are approx. 11-14 meets per season- They consist of regular season dual/tri/quad meets, Invitationals, OCC league meet, and the District meet- Qualifiers at the District meet would compete at the State Gymnastics Meet the 1st weekend of March.
Cost: Each Gymnast must pay the School Participation fee- There are also costs associated with leotards, warm-up leotards, and warm-ups. We do have some fundraising activities to offset some of the costs. More detail will be given at the “Meet the team” meeting.
Fundraising: We will hold a “Flip-a Thon” during the beginning of the season. Other fundraising includes getting sponsorships for a team poster and selling sweatshirts at our Invitational.
Stat/Manager: If you are not sure if competition is for you- we have stat/manager position available- this is an opportunity to still be involved- 3 years of being a Stat earns a Varsity letter in that sport.
