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.

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:
