ALL ATHLETES - NEW ENTRY PROCESS – IMPORTANT!
Starting in September, we are asking that all gym team athletes enter the building through the side double doors. We are hoping that this will expedite their drop off and keep the front circle drive moving, along with helping our little ones get to practice without having to walk through other classes.
MUSIC AND CHOREOGRAPHY INFO – Gold, Platinum, Optionals ONLY
-MUSIC:
Athletes will be told during practice which song they need to purchase.
Time selection: Your music must be shorter than the time listed for your level below:
-Gold: 1 minute
-Platinum & Level 6: 1 min 15 seconds
-Level 8: 1 minute 30 seconds
-Please purchase your music at least 2 weeks prior to your choreography date. Some websites take about a week to get your music to you, and coaches will need your music about a week ahead of time to plan. Once you receive your music, send it to gymnastics@excitegym.com.
CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE SIGN UP GENIUS – sign up for your choreography date by September 1st!
-CHOREOGRAPHY: Choreography time slots will be set up for three hours and cost $200 paid directly to your choreographer, the day that your choreography is done. Please plan on staying for the entirety of your athlete’s choreography. However if another coach is planning on being at the gym at that time, you will not be required to stay.
