1. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS
MEET LEOTARDS
Meet leotards have started to be distributed! Short sleeve leotards came in today (11/13) and will be distributed within the next week.
Do not wear your meet leo or scrunchie to regular practices, school, as a “dress up” costume – or any other time other than when competing! These leotards are expected to be kept in like-new condition, and if they get damaged, you will be required to purchase a new one.
We suggest keeping your meet capris folded on a hanger, with your meet leo, meet jacket, and meet scrunchie all on the same hanger.
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
• All garment(s) must be washed separately.
• Turn garment(s) inside out.
• Use a mild liquid detergent and gently hand wash in cold water. Rinse immediately.
• DO NOT allow garment to soak.
• Hang to dry.
• DO NOT use fabric softeners.
• DO NOT dry clean.
• DO NOT iron.
IN HOUSE MEET – MANDATORY FOR ONE PARENT/FAMILY!
Our annual In House Meet will be on January 10, 2026! This is an event that we host for our rec kiddos to show off their skills for their family and friends – they get medals and ribbons and can order shoutouts and other fun athlete gifts! We run it just like a real meet and it is so fun for the kiddos!
It is mandatory for one parent per family to help with this event.
-Volunteer time slots are first come/first serve
Gym team athletes will not attend this event!
