1. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS
2025-2026 HANDBOOK
*The 2025-2025 Gym Team Handbook is live! Please take time to look over the handbook and email gymnastics@excitegym.com if you have any questions.
Questions about Saturday practices:
We've received a few questions about the shift from Friday evenings to Saturday mornings for Fall–Spring practices. We understand that many of our athletes are involved in multiple activities and want to reassure you that we're here to support your child both in and out of the gym.
We’d like to share the reasoning behind this change and welcome any follow-up questions. Moving practices to Saturday mornings allows coaches to offer more focused training time with their teams and frees up gym space for both classes and teams. It also opens up Friday and Saturday evenings for athletes to have football games, family time, and social activities.
Training in the morning—when athletes are rested—helps improve focus and prepares them for early competition schedules. We recognize that scheduling conflicts can happen, and we're happy to work with families to find alternate practice times as needed. These adjustments will be handled on a week-by-week basis as they are communicated with our coaching staff.
As always, thank you for trusting us with your child’s development—in gymnastics and beyond!
