Hello everyone,
I hope you are all having a good weekend!  

I have updated the calendar to our most current schedule with Google Meets, practices and our competition schedule for the season. Please note things are always changing, and I will make the changes as they come in. Unfortunately, many of you have been missing our Google Meets.  If you are going to be missing a Google Meet please be sure to text me, e-mail me, or put it in the class comments. I know our meets were long last week, we had a lot of information to cover. From now on we are shooting to have our meets last about 45minutes. This should help you in planning. That being said please try to log on right at 5:30PM.
Starting this week we will be breaking out into small groups and working on our jumps. Please be sure you have enough space to do this. If you feel comfortable and are on a hard surface, please wear athletic shoes to give you some cushion. I have posted a stretching video from Coach Jen, you can use to warm up prior to our  Google Meets.  Starting This week, you will be able to check in with a coach on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We will be having open coaches hours from 5-6PM, where you can talk to a coach, ask questions, show us what you've been creating for your routines. This will be your opportunity get suggestions and feedback. You can log on to this through the link in our classroom. Please note the link is just for coaches hours, you will still need to log onto our Google Meets with the code. 

We'll see you all Monday at 5:30.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
