Summer Camp - Week 3

Early Monday morning everywhere you looked in the gym you could see focused, determined gymnasts working hard to perfect their new beam series, vaults, bar and floor skills.

Tuesday brought temperatures in the high 80s with 50% humidity so a unanimous coaching decision was made for it to be Pool Olympics Day! Great decision! Congratulations to the gold medal winners: Maddy (diving), Allie K. (underwater swimming), and Emily (smallest splash)! Congratulations also to the Pre-Team girls who were assigned lockers this week. It's awesome to see your hard work paying off. Way to go!

Wednesday was yet another hot day in the gym, but the girls pressed on and continued to work hard at mastering their new skills plus a dance routine for this weekend's Kingston Day Show. Great job girls! Your dedication is very impressive! The mid-week handstand challenge of one minute and 25 seconds on the rail.......well......lets just say that 25 push ups were done by all.

Week 3 - Wrap Up

Flex Routines:
This week’s flex routines were truly impressive and enjoyable to watch. There were more scores awarded in the 9s this week which reflects the awesome progress the girls are making; and there was more variety in the routines because the girl’s that have received 3 scores of 9+ are now performing their own routines. All of the routines have come a long way in just three weeks. Great job girls! Congratulations to LaNaya – her truly awesome routine on Friday received a score of 9.8!!! WOW!!!

Skits:
The theme for this week's skits was game shows. The audience got to drive around with Maddy and a cast of oddball passengers in the Cash Cab, laugh at some hysterical Family Feud contestants (last minute fill-in Melinda being the funniest contestant ever!), and enjoy some dares, double dares and physical challenges during the Double Dare 2000 game hosted by Allie K., and try to solve the I Am A ____? clues given by Becca and her game show crew.

Handstands:
As for the end of the week handstand challenge, suffice it to say a long week ended with a few pushups!
