We hope you enjoyed a lovely break and you're ready to head back to the gym for an exciting term ahead.
It's been a big year so far! We've moved to a bigger gym, Royals placed 4th at Worlds, Hawaii teams competed at Global Games and Cheer Stars & Dance competed at Eutopia!
Our gym flooring is complete! 🤸♀️
Our staff worked tirelessly at the end of the term to install our 2nd full-size sprung floor. We are so grateful to have 2 fully sprung competition-sized floors as well as a separate tumbling floor and 9m tumble track. Our teams will benefit greatly from having all the extra space.
Team Points Challenge 👏
This term, we will be introducing a reward system where teams will have the opportunity to earn points during class for supporting other teammates, counting for other teams during full outs, full team attendance, working hard towards aquiring a skill, and all athletes on the team achieving the same skill. The team with the most points at the end of the term gets a prize.
Season Starter 👑
We are so excited to kick off the comp season for our Cheer Elite and Cheer Advance teams with our first in-gym event for 2023: Season Starter! Our teams have trained hard all season, and we can't wait to show off our skills at our first in-gym event of the year. Season Starter is going to be an amazing event, and we look forward to seeing you all there on Sunday 30 July! Click here to see our Season Starter Event Program and to purchase tickets
Open Week: Bring your friends to try your classes! 👯
We're inviting our Cheer Stars and recreational athletes to bring your friends along to Open Week. They will get to experience cheer, tumble or dance and learn what it's all about. Passes will be handed out this week so you can give them to your friends. You can also ask them to book in by clicking below. Ask them to select "Bring a Friend" so they only pay $1 to trial 1.5hrs of classes.
Athlete Skills posters🌟
We're bringing back an old favourite: Athlete Tumble Skills posters! This is to encourage and celebrate every athlete's tumble journey. Each Elite & Advance athlete will have their tumble skills recorded on our posters. When an athlete masters a new skill, they will add a stamp to their name for that skill. The whole gym can watch your skill and celebrate your success.
Attendance at training 📅
Just an important reminder that attendance at training has a huge impact on our teams' ability to train properly. Attending training becomes even more important as we finalise and clean up our routines before comp. Attendance is key to our success!
Please advise us immediately if you have any planned absences leading up to competitions.
Drop off & pick up 🚗
Thank you for your support in making our pick-up and drop-offs safe for our athletes. We do need to remind you of the following procedures:
- Do not stop in the driveway to collect athletes. You must park your car and come in to collect your child*
- Athletes under 12 yrs will be kept inside the athlete waiting area until a parent/carer comes into reception to collect them. We will not allow young athletes to walk out into the driveway by themselves.
- NEVER park in the carpark of our neighbouring businesses. They will now take further action.
* If you're collecting athletes from our last classes of the day, please come through the driveway AFTER 9:15pm for collection. Please do not wait in the driveway and hold everyone up.
We understand that these procedures are necessary to ensure the safety of our athletes. We would like to continue using the drop-off system, we so appreciate your cooperation.
In gym viewing 👀
We will be inviting our Recreational families to watch the end of their training sessions on Mon 11 - Sat 16 Sep. Cheer Stars families are welcome to come in Tue 19 - Fri 22 Sep. More information will be released closer to these dates. Our Cheer Elite and Cheer Advance families will enjoy seeing our teams perform after a short training session at Season Starter.
