1. Team Camping trip this weekend – Just a reminder that the team camping trip is this weekend at Folsom Lake. If you are unable to stay overnight with us, please try to come up just for the day on Saturday. We do a lot of team building activities throughout the day as well as family-getting-to-know-you games, boating, swimming, and just relaxing at the water. We cap off the night with a potluck dinner and campfire. This is an awesome experience that you do not want to miss.

2. Uniform Orders – Uniform orders were due this week. Please have your child try on their uniform to see how it fits. Now is the time to order a larger size for next year, if needed. Also, we have families that are interested in buying a used uniform if your child has outgrown theirs. Please let us know if you need something new, or have something to sell.

3. Tumbling Camp - Next week we are offering an tumbling camp taught by George Sr, and George Jr. It is Monday through Friday from 9am-1pm. The cost is only$129 for all five days.

4. Acro Team - The new Acro team will begin training here next week. Please help us welcome them and their coach, Ethan, to the AP family!

(Yes it is the 7th season- It’s our sixth year, but we did compete our first year- I noticed the mistake of season #s last fall but decided I would just fix it now)

Many on our team also got to spend time learning about the first American town of Jamestown and visit Washington DC! We are so lucky to have sport that lets us travel and learn about our history!

2. T&T Camp starts Monday - Join us for our awesome 5 day T&T Camp- this is the camp that kids will get skills that those not in attendance will regret not learning too!! We will spend most of our time on new skills and then major time for strength and flexibility.  If you have been absent more than one week this summer one for our two sports specific camps is mandatory! Athlete readiness is the only way to guarantee your space on the team.

3. USAG Member renewal time - It’s time to renew your athletes USAG membership. The form is in your family folder.  They must be completed with credit card before July 23rd to ensure continuous USAG enrollment and no loss of your magazine subscription. It is also mandatory if you are attending Woodward. Renew on time to continue the benefits of membership!

4. Uniform & Shoe  Order - If you need uniform pieces please notify us immediately by filling out the form on the desk. If your child has outgrown their uniform let us know and we may be able to find a trade for a larger size.  Additionally we will be ordering the new season exhibition/ show leo in time to wear to Woodward- So get those orders in right away! Tramp shoe orders will be placed July 26th.

5. Camping Trip – The team camping trip is just around the corner. We scouted the campground and lake today and it is VERY full! So full that the cliffs are under water- the cliff jump this year may be suited for the chickens!! Look for the potluck sign up sheet next week on the front desk.  This annual fun weekend IS CRITICAL to the ongoing success of the family based supportive culture we have worked hard to create.  Families are STRONGLY encouraged to attend. If you need help to reserve your site let us know and we can help.

6. Fall Schedules - There are going to be some changes to how the levels train in the fall. The Monday Wednesday class is now full and no room for additional athletes. However the Tuesday Thursday group will now offer a level 8 training group and we are looking to try to extend the Thursday practice. As we near the start of school we will have more details.

7. Upcoming Comp fee deadlines – The second installment of artistic gymnastics fees are due August 1st and the first installment of T&T fees are due on September 1st.  The T&T schedule will be out as soon at the National Office sets the Master schedule.

8. 100 skills in 100 days - Hooray it is finally here! The kids ask all year when it’s 100 skills time! As a team we are trying to get 100 new skills in the next 100 days! Last year we finished ahead of the hundred day deadline.  Ask your kids what they have learned….What goals they have made.

American Powerhouse T&T will be closed all this week? Exact dates…June 26th through July 4th. Re-open on Monday July 5th.

1. Awesome Luau – Thanks so much to all of you for coming and making the end of year team luau such an awesome experience for everyone! It was amazing to see the kids play together and participate in the all the fun activities that were there.  We also loved seeing the parents be able to visit in a relaxed family atmosphere outside of gym or competition. It was a pleasure to have you all at our place and look forward to many years to come!  Thanks for the great home depot card! Ron’s man cave ( the icky storage room) was finished on Father’s day in time for a fun evening of poker with dads, cousins, and nephews! Ask him to see a picture of the final result if you want! We also sure appreciate the hard work the APTTA Board ( Courtney, Jen, Lisa, & Carrie) for the food and our games and set up crew (Amy, Amy, Celeste, Haley, Nancy) putting it all together.

2.Gym Closed next week – Just a reminder that our gym is closed next week. The kids DO NOT have a conditioning list- They get a whole week completely off! The only thing we ask is that they stay active – find some fun summer activities to do!  We will open again on July 5th!

3. AP Half Day T&T Camp – Our half day T&T camp starts on July 12th  There is still space available in the T&T camp here, but I will have flyers at Nationals and expect it to fill before our return.  There will be many more drills and progressions for kids to get new skills than we have time for in regular class!

4.Team Camping Trip - Get all set  for team camping trip.. There a some sites still open to join in the fun, food, and great memories.  Water is high and should still be then.  We will be at Folsom again and will have big fun planned for Saturday if you can only come for the day!

Jamie will be gone to marine Officer Candidate training from July 9th- August 26th.  Ron and Susan will be gone this time until July 8th and then July 27th to August 12th  for the National T&T camp wakeshma and then the Elite National Championships. You will see Haley, Hunter, George Jr, GeorgeSr, Denise, Chelsii, and maybe even Tyler out there giving your kids great skill advice and care in each of our absences.

6. Region 2 Benefit Camp at Woodward – This is the LAST call for entry to the fabulous fundraiser camp at Woodward over Labor Day. We currently have 16 athletes going and would love to have more and be the biggest team there!  It is a great opportunity to have your kids coached by many members of the National Team coaching staff in a VERY well equipped facility!

1.Team Luau & Parent Meeting Sunday - The team luau end of year party, award ceremony, and mandatory parent meeting are this Sunday at the Jacobson’s new place in Penryn. The fun begins at 2PM with games and social time, followed by the APTTA sponsored meal at 5PM, and then the awards & parent meeting at 6PM. Be sure and bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on, drinks for the afternoon, marshmallow roasting sticks, & sun block.

As a child my Dad was a Shriner and every year we went to a family Luau at one of his friends houses in Las Vegas. It was always one of the highlights of my summer- he had a true oasis with every fun thing a kid could dream of doing.  We ran free on his acreage “Jerry Berry Berry’s Patch”, played volleyball and croquet, swam, fished, and ended the day with s’mores.  Ron & I hope to make this new property hold that same memory your family as time goes by! We look forward to having you at our own little “Berry Patch”.

2. Awesome Youth Olympic Selection & Cirque Show – This has been a spectacular week for our athletes to witness our sport at it’s highest form.  The USA chose Hunter Brewster and Savannah Vinsant ( both athletes coached by our regular clinician Dmitri Poliaroush)to represent our Country to the first Youth Olympic Games.  Both the Jr Elites and Sr Elites gave stunning performances in the competition held here Sunday night. Last night a large group from Team AP witnessed the spectacular grace and athleticism of the Cirque du Sloeil performance of Allegria.  The stunning aerial performances, feats of strength and flexibility kept the whole group on the edge of our seats.  Then through the kind hospitality of Cirque Staffer Isabel, We were able to wait after the show for a Q&A session with stage manager Alan and former Portuguese National Team member and Allegria’s Lead Trampolinist  Diogo Faria  The children got to ask questions and find out how they chose their cast, what they do, how much they train, and many more things from the gracious Cirque crew!  If you missed Allegria with us- it will be at Arco all weekend and we highly recommend seeing it if there are seats still available!

3. Dress Code for summer workouts - The heat is finally here! Just a reminder from our parent handbook that there is a dress code for workout! Girls must be in a leotard, shorts are permitted if they are the tight form fitting ones designed four our sport- hair must be in a ponytail or a bun, boys must wear a mens step in or a tight fitting shirt like our exhibition one with shorts or trampoline pants.

4. Team Camping Trip - Team camping trip is right around the corner- July 23rd -25th.  The levels 9 and up and ages 13 and up may arrive the 22nd for the leadership development day that begins early Friday morning.  There are a few spots still available in the campground and I hear many of you have yet to book your space! Do it now at  http://www.reserveamerica.com/camping/map_of_Folsom_Lake_Sra/r/campgroundMap.do?camparea=91524790&contractCode=CA&parkId=120034 This is such a fun weekend that even non campers have transformed for this annual event!

5. T&T Day Camp at AP – The T&T Day camp still has space available – We run a fine summer day camp with great skill learning opportunities to drill in on those new skills and routines for next season!
