Coach's Winter Newsletter

Splitz Competitive Newsletter    

Winter 2013

We are all thoroughly enjoying the upgrades to the gym with the new foam and amazing lighting. Thank you so much to Tarn, Cris and our parent volunteers for making these improvements possible!!


We would like to congratulate our December Athlete of the Month: 

Eve Exner

Coach’s note: Eve has been working extremely hard on her flexibility and in all aspects of her gymnastics over the past few months. We are all extremely proud of the progress she has made after suffering a broken foot earlier this season. She is an extremely strong little lady and a very dedicated worker. Great job Eve!

Winter News and Reminders:

1. There will be no training this
   Monday, February 11, 2013 for Family Day. I hope you all enjoy the day with those you hold most dear!
   
2. If you have not yet had a Coach/Parent meeting with Renée
   and Tracy there is a new sign up sheet posted on the competitive team bulletin board! Please schedule your meeting ASAP to ensure that you get a time!
   
3. A special “Thank you” to Michelle Michaud for sharing her nutrition
   expertise and some excellent tips at the latest PDGS meeting. I hope you all learned something new!
   
4. With the start of competition season comes the dreaded question, “What do I do with her hair??” Well over the years I have come across a few hair ‘blogs’ with some fantastic hair-­‐ do’s for those of you who may either be hair challenged or are just looking for some new and creative ideas for competition hair.
   
   Here are a few of my favorites:
   http://shedoeshair.blogspot.com/  http://babesinhairland.com/  http://shaunellshair.blogspot.ca
   -­‐ this one is great, it even categorizes the hairstyles by the amount of time.
   I hope this will prevent some of you from pulling out your own hair!
   5. We would like to say a big “Welcome!” to the newest member
   of the Splitz coaching team, Jeff Pauliuk. Jeff has over 30 years of experience coaching both men’s and women’s gymnastics and we are very excited to have him join the Splitz family!
   6. A job well done to all of our GymStart ladies at the Winterfest
   Physical evaluation that took place January 25th! Many of our girls received their highest scores to date. Great work girls! Congratulations to all of our competitive girls for such a fantastic effort at the I Love Gymnastics in-­‐ house competition last weekend! It was a huge success!
   
   
   Upcoming Events:
   North Shore Invitational February 15-­17 Good Luck to all provincial team members in their first full competition of the season!
   Christy Fraser Memorial Invitational
   All Competitive team members will be participating in this event. We would like to wish a special good luck to all of our Provincial Level 2 gymnasts at the Zone 3 Trials for Provincial Championships.
