Wow! Can you believe it is already December! Time has flown and competition season is here, thanks for making sure that you are at each and every practice! We cant wait for the gym exhibition on Friday, December 7th. The girls have been working so hard and are excited to let us see them in action! 
 
Our Holiday Party will be on Tuesday, December 18th from approximately 5-9 p.m. We will meet at the mall for some ice skating fun and then caravan over to Christine's for some hot cocoa, pizza, and fun. We will also be drawing names for a silly slipper exchange. Sizes will be included so you can get the silliest slippers you can find! If you cannot attend our party please let me know asap so we can make sure that everyone has a present to open! 
 
Be safe this season!

ECE Gym Members,

After a long summer we are ready to get busy with the teams. Here comes the first of many updates as we get ready for the season.

FALL SCHEDULE
I hope everyone had a nice holiday weekend. The gym will reopen on Tuesday, September 7th and we will be starting our fall schedule. The fall schedule is located under “forms” on the website. *NOTE- Mini Paparazzi is now 9:30-11:30am on Sunday. This is one half hour later than originally scheduled.

ATTENDANCE POLICY
Starting Tuesday, September 7th attendance is MANDATORY. If you are going to be late please make sure you call the gym. “No call/no shows” are completely unacceptable! Last minute call ins are unacceptable. Only extreme emergencies will be excused. If you are SICK, you must come to practice. You may be removed from your team or lose your spot in the choreography if you abuse the attendance policy. I can’t stress enough that you have chosen to be part of your team and not coming to practice will hinder the progress of your team.

STUNT CHOREORAPHY
This went great! I am very happy with all the stunts and the way they turned out. I think all the teams have a great challenge ahead of them as the stunts are not easy. Thank you for the girls who helped fill in during choreography. Please remember that your team can not stunt if you are not at practice and your entire stunt group will not be able to practice if you are missing.

ROUTINE CHOREOGRAPHY
Routine choreography is now posted under the “forms” section of the website for your convenience so you may print it out. Routine choreography is MANDATORY! No excuses! We cannot make a routine with missing holes in formations. There will be NO team practice from Sept. 20th- Sept. 30th. There ARE regular scheduled tumble classes during this time. Choreography is closed to all spectators, including any team parents during tumble classes. We expect all athletes and parents to be respectful to where each athlete is placed in the routine. We will not discussed or have meetings regarding routine placements.

UNIFORMS/SIZING- SEPTEMBER 12TH
Everyone will be sized for a uniform during their team practice on Sunday, September 12th. All teams will share the same uniform design in the gym with the exception of Tinys/Minis and Fame. If you have a Tiny/Mini uniform from last season you do not need a new uniform, all other teams will be sized for new uniforms. I do not have any other information on the uniform other than that the prototype is in production. As soon as I receive more information (including price) I will let you know. At the time of uniform sizing we will be collecting the initial payment of $175.00. We will not order your child’s uniform without the initial payment. The balance of the uniform will be due prior to taking the uniform home.

UCA NATIONALS (FLORIDA)
Mark your calendars. Teams will practice on Sunday, March 6th (at their regular practice time) and practice on Monday the 7th AND Tues the 8th. Times will be given out as we get closer. Families may leave as early as Wednesday, March 9th (BUT NO EARLIER). Athletes should be in Florida by Friday, March 11th (mid day) at the latest. Families may vacation the week after the event if they wish but please make sure that you let the gym know your return date. We have been looking for a hotel for the teams for people that would like to stay in one hotel. We will do our best to post this shortly.
PLEASE SHARE ANY CHEAP FLIGHT INFORMATION ON THE MESSAGE BOARDS ON THE WEBSITE.

CHEERSPORT NATIONALS (GEORGIA)
Team members may leave as early as Thursday, February 17th but must be in Atlanta, Georgia for team practice which usually takes place on Friday afternoon at the convention center. A couple extra practices will be scheduled prior to leaving for the event. Most people use the subway system while in Georgia. It is very safe, alleviates parking fees and is easier to travel around when you are new to the area.

COMPETITION FEES
Competition fees for September 15th are coming up in a week. This should be your 3rd installment. Please make sure you pay in a timely manner and you do not fall behind. We are sending payments out and registering for competitions already.

SNEAKERS
Sneakers can still be purchased on the gym website at the AMP link on the front page.

BOWS/MAKEUP
This will be discussed in a further letter.

As always, any questions or concerns can be emailed to me at celebrityct@sbcglobal.net.
