ALL TEAMS: EXCITE EXPO
We are so excited to announce that we will doing our Expo this year at Marcus High School!

HELP NEEDED: We will be renting a floor for us to perform on and need some amazing volunteers to help set up and tear down! We are looking for 10 strong volunteers for set up and 10 for break down. Set up will start at 9am and break down will be 5:30pm (or as soon as last team performs). This should take a couple of hours to get complete. All volunteers will receive 2 free spectator tickets! Email directors@excitegym.com to sign up! Be sure to include your name and athletes name.
VENDOR/BOOTH OPPORTUNITIES: If you or someone you know has a business or product, this is a great opportunity to get exposure to our local community! We are still waiting on approval and numbers but be on the look out for more information next week!
ALL STAR: ELITE FLYER TRAINING
We will be doing things a little different this season for our Elite Flyers. We will be doing 15-minute training sessions at the end of weekday practices (schedule listed below). This will focus on strength training to hold body lines, flexibility, stability and choreography. If at any point we feel your top girl needs additional training, we may require private lessons and/or clinics. We will also be doing a flyer BAND to keep track of progress. This will be made during their first session.
