While this is going out to all on the list, it is especially important to club owners:

 

While at Congress, the State Chairs were shown a really cool ad campaign that's going out in USA Today on August 8th, I think, to coincide with the beginning of the world's interest in gymnastics as our competition begins in China.  It's an 8 page spread that finally(!) brings the message that gymnastics has roots in simple skills..(implied ..that are taught in your local gym)  LIFE IS BALANCE  and there's a picture of a little girls walking on a curb, LIFE IS STRENGTH showing a little boy hanging on a tree limb.

Attached is information on a fund raiser for Shayla Worley’s family to attend the Olympics to see Shayla compete.  They estimate that they will need to raise $49,000.00 for their family to go.  If Shayla does not make the team the Worley’s plan to donate the proceeds to another athlete’s family.  Shayla has made it to the “Final Selection Camp” and leaves Wednesday, July 16th for camp in Houston.  Selection of the team will be made July 19th

 

I know most of us and our USAG members can not make it to Kissimmee for the tournament, but I thought some of you and your USAG members might want to make a donation to help Shayla’s family.  Please send to your membership ASAP.

Hi Jennie,

I wanted to send a quick hello to let you know that I miss everyone at NC Gymnastics.  Boston has been a major change for me but I believe I am finally adjusting to the cold weather and urban life.  It is much different than the roaming pastures of Shelby.  I have been watching the status of our NC gymnasts and am proud to see the continued growth.  I hope to see some of the coaches in Boston in a few days now.

USA Gymnastics statement regarding the E:60 program concerning gymnastics

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 15, 2008 -- Any form of abuse against an athlete is unacceptable. 

USA Gymnastics seeks to do everything within its jurisdiction to stop abuse. This jurisdiction does not extend to the employment practices of private gymnastics clubs. USA Gymnastics’ diligence in protecting its athletes creates a record of these actions (a list of terminated members) that invites scrutiny of the sport and the organization’s efforts to protect children who participate in it.

Hello everyone!  My name is Bridget Hild and I am writing this e-mail out of concern for my teammates and future URI gymnasts.  As some of you may already know the URI Women’s Gymnastics Program was recently informed that this would be our last competitive season.  On Thursday, January 31st the coaching staff and the URI Team was informed of this demise.  After receiving a phone call at 10:00 am we reported to the Mackal Conference Room for what we thought was a routine meeting. We were discussing our upcoming meet at Brown, however when our coaches and athletic administration walked through the door the mood of our team completely shifted.

The minutes attached will provide some clarification about Prep Optional rules, as well as plans for summer education.
The Board is hoping for input from you concerning summer workshops or clinic experiences.

A question has arisen about the youngest age that Rookies may compete.  While the Board has not specifically set this date, the logic of stated compulsory equivalency is that Rookies would be equivalent to Level 3's and Level 4"s.  On page 19 of R & P, please note that a Level 3 gymnast must have reached her 5th birthday in order to compete.

Meet Director - Letter from Mary Hoagland

Date: January 10, 2008

1/8/2008

 

Dear Meet Directors,

 

  We have another very busy season ahead with many meets on the same weekend. 

 

 ASSIGINING: The USAG Board has set up recommendations for assigning judges based on numbers collected from the Meet Intent forms.  In some cases you will be assigned fewer than 8 judges, judges for only one day, or some judges that are not rated Level 10.  The assignors will do everything possible to make sure you have enough properly rated judges to accommodate your meet.  However, to cover all meets you may have to use creative scheduling such as two events at a time or have two level 10 judges follow the optional gymnasts while the lower rated judges cover the Prep Op gymnasts.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all of you,
Here's a few things of gymnastics interest to most of you.

Danny Davis, of Starlite Gymnastics in Shelby, regretfully had to resign from the NC USAG Board at the beginning of December.  Luckily for Danny, unluckily for NC, Danny has signed with a firm in Boston
for a new, non--gymnastics position.  He's probably there right now as this e-mail goes out.  Being that he's a Green Bay fan, he's more than likely enjoying the cold, even though he'll be in Patriot country.  We wish you the best, Danny, and hope you come back home when you tire of New England.

Mat Clarification

From: Connie Maloney

Date: November 19, 2007

 

I have been made aware that there is some confusion in the field regarding a mat that looks like a springboard (mount trainer).
 
Prior to the 2005-06 season, it was allowed at only the compulsory levels. Last year (2006-07) it was added to the R & P on page 78, top #5. b.” At Levels 7-10, a manufactured mount mat (mount trainer) may be used for mounting purposes.”
 
This year it is still in the R & P (same page & #), but no longer in bold font, as it is not new.
 
Please make sure that the Meet Directors and Meet Referees know that this is an allowed piece of equipment at both compulsory and optional JO Levels.
 
Thanks,
 
Connie Maloney
Women’s Jr. Olympic Program Manager
