Order Form & Pre-Season Info Packet

Hi everyone, 

It was great to see everyone at the pre-season meeting on Monday. For those new to the team who I hadn't already met, I enjoyed meeting you for the first time and I look forward to getting to know you better this season! 

I have attached two documents that I handed out at the meeting: 

1. Team gear order form

   https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZwuNz2LN3CWkb9AY8ZeAqr-x7CBCzDQ3/view?usp=drive_link

   • The team gear order contains two required items; the warm up leotard and a green jacket. 

     • The warm up leotard is a custom leotard from GK and we will use the leotard throughout the season and at competitions. 

     • The green jacket will keep your athlete warm at practices and competitions and also be used for some team dress ups. If you already have this jacket through another sport, there is no need to reorder it for gymnastics. Please indicate on your order form you are not ordering the jacket due to already having it

   • Please have this returned to me by 10/31/2025. 

     • I will collect payments and order forms prior to season starting and have the order form and payments ready to be submitted the day after tryouts end. 

     • If, for some reason, you do not move forward on the team, then your money would be refunded / check voided and I would not submit your order.  

   • If you have any questions about sizing, please search the item online to look for sizing guides. 

   • Any other questions, do not hesitate to reach out to me. 

     
     

2. Pre-Season Info Packet

   https://drive.google.com/file/d/1O6QSeqWQBZC4noukVE1ZH1wGB-GM44jH/view?usp=sharing 

   • This packet contains information about season, practice schedule, competitions, dress ups, and more.

   • As a reminder, to try out for the team you MUST have your gymnastics forms in Infinite campus filled out (by parent and gymnast) and have an up to date physical on file with the athletic department. I have sent emails about this previously - please refer to that email with questions.

     
     

Important Parents - At the meeting I placed a lot of importance on having a supportive and cohesive team. We talked about the importance of being a kind teammate and how critically important it is that there is no bullying, cyberbullying, or exclusionary behavior. We have a team that is very well bonded and supportive and I want that to continue. Please talk with your athlete about the importance of this and how they can show up and be their best.

Apologies for not getting this information out sooner. I was traveling for work this last week and was unable to find the time to send it sooner. As always, I am here to answer any and all questions. Remember to check our team website for additional details as well. 

Stay tuned for plenty more emails from me! :) 

Cheers!
