Gymster Gymnastics

December Theme: Winter Wonderland

In December Gymsters will love our festive holiday and winter themed classes. Come dance like snowflakes, roll like snowmen, play reindeer games and maybe even have a snowball fight! Don't miss the fun!

They're Back!

Flip and Flop, our mischievous little elves, are back from the North Pole to help us with our donation drive! These silly elves will be keeping an eye on our donation efforts and starting some crazy shenanigans during the next few weeks. See if your child can spot them when you come in for class, you never know what those two will be up to.

Second Harvest Food Bank

During the month of December ATA will be collecting non-perishable foods for Second Harvest Food Bank. Non-perishable foods can be brought in and deposited in our barrel all month long. We will also be collecting during Christmas show week. Bring a treat for your child's class and a can to donate! For more information about this organization or ways to volunteer with your family please visit www.shfb.org

Acrobatic Gymnastics Team

Early November marked the beginning of our new season of Pre Team! This season we will have women's groups, women's pair and mixed pair! First on the agenda is preparation for ATA's Annual Christmas Shows. Next week, our Acrobatic Pre Team will have an opportunity to perform and display newly learned acrobatic basics. It's a whole new group and a whole new year!

ATA's competition teams carry on with their training and preparations. The month of November gave everyone an opportunity to come together for a fun Holiday Party and Team Sleepover! It was a special family time as Mom's, Dad's and siblings joined in the fun with amazing food, fellowship and fun games and activities! Congratulations to Kayla and Candice Taylor for winning "Rooster on the Roof"! You could truly see the gymnast in the parents too. This year all the competition athletes will be getting some early, special attention at the Region 1 Athlete Clinic, Dec 6-7 in Livermore, CA. There are always things to prepare for and we will be fitting that in just before the holidays!

From all the ATA coaches and management, we would like to wish everyone the Merriest Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy and Blessed New Year!

Giving Thanks!

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family, friends and great food! Thank you to all of our students that brought in their thankfulness leaf. Our back wall looked amazing!
