Tumbling Tigers April Team Notes

April and the bigger meets are upon us. I need to clear up a few things for all of you. We pay for big meets at least one month in advance. It is NOT okay to let me know at the last minute your your child will not be attending unless they are sick. I give information out well in advance and if there is a date you can’t make, I need to know asap. Being a part of the team is a function of gymnastics. No matter how many meets you have left, team practice goes until the middle of June. 

After meets are over we work on skills to move up to the next level. This month we have the Jelly Bean Invitational for Levels 2 and 3. We have a last chance qualifier for some 4’s and 5’s, and the big State Meet in Goffstown, NH. As always, please make sure  your payments are up to date and current through the previous month.

Here are the times and dates for this month’s meets:
