Tumbling Tigers May / June Team Notes

Lots and lots of news as we come to the end of the season. States went very well and all the gymnasts did a great job. For team finishes, Level 8 was 3rd, Level 6 was 4th, Level 5 was 8th, and Level 4’s were 11th. All these kids were new to their level this year and really worked hard to do well. I am proud of all the hard work they have put in this year. We still have a few meets and shows to work on for Levels 4-8 and I will keep you informed of all of them. 

Your team payments should be paid up by May 30th. If you have an outstanding balance, you will not be able to sign up for any other programs until you are paid up. Pictures should be coming in soon. He had to do some retakes to put kids who missed into the team pictures. 

Here are the times and dates for the things happening in May and June.
