Hello Coaches-

So getting the schedule out today proved to be a bigger hassle than intended. My computer passed away this morning and my flash drive with the FS master file decided to jump out of my work binder…so needless to say I have the schedule for you but rotations and “stuff” will be a couple of more days. Breeze is working on resurrecting my computer so hopefully I don’t have to re-enter EVERYTHING………

The good news is that we have just over 80 athletes! Even better, the levels split evenly so we will have about 40 each day. Please email me if you have any questions and I will do my best to get the “rest” of the information out by Wednesday.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Hello all,
Our publications department is looking for one or two men’s program submissions for the “Faces In the Crowd” section of the USA Gymnastics magazine for the Nov/Dec issue. Seems there has been a drop in submissions since the meet season ended and they want to make sure to include some deserving young men.

If you know of a gym who might want to submit a photo and info. for the “Faces in the Crowd” section please have them send the information to publications@usagym.org. The information needs to be received at USA Gymnastics by September 21 for it to be considered.

The copy generally includes a photo and something along the lines of:

Devon Walker
Hewitt, Texas
Devon, 10, competed as a Level 4 and scored above an 88.00 in the all-around at every meet this season. Devon also won the Ricky Deci award for the highest individual score with a 15.50 on pommel horse. Devon trains at Zero Gravity Gymnastics Academy.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
