Summer Camp - Week 1

Week one of summer camp is well underway. The not so great summer weather has been a plus as the temperature inside the gym has been comfortable making it easier for the girls to focus on goal setting and flex routines. Wednesday afternoon's handstand challenge was for the group total to be a minimum of 60 seconds or to do 10 pushups for every second under 60. Being the end of the day the girls were looking a little a tired and the 60 second goal was looking a little iffy, but they cheered each other on and managed to total just over 60 seconds. Needless to say they were happy not to have to do any pushups! Stay tuned to see how they fare as Coach Paul increases the goal.

Week 1 - Wrap Up

Flex Routines:

At the close of camp on Thursday Team Dizzeeeeeeeez and Team America’s Foam Pits were neck and neck with scores of 147.1 and 146.6. The Whatsamadoits (144.8) and team Francis (143.2) were battling for third and fourth. Friday’s judging was far less flexible than the girls, but an occasional 9+ was granted. In the end Team America’s Foam Pits took first place followed closely by Team Dizzeeeeeeez. Team Francis and the Whatsamadoits placed 3rd and 4th respectively.

Skits:

The teams had some great costumes and great acting but most of all great team work and fun as each team spoofed a coach. The Whatsamodoits performed a very entertaining skit of a day on the golf course with Coach Paul. Team Dizeeeeeeez’s LaNaya was hilarious as Miss Becky as was Team Francis’ Kayla enacting a day at practice with Miss Sharon. Team America’s Foam Pits spoofed Melinda breaking the beam (performed by Allison) and falling into a manhole and losing her cell phone performed by ( Allie K).

Handstand Challenge:
Friday’s challenge was one minute and 10 seconds. The girls banded together but after a long hard week their best efforts left them just 3 seconds shy of the goal - definitely a respectable total! 10 pushups were polished off with ease as week 1 of camp was brought to a close.
