Competition Uniform Order Forms

Our team will continue wearing the GK competition uniforms and Soffe warm-up suits that we wore last year. The black Fairland warm-up suits need to be ordered through the pro shop. The price for those is $55.

If you need to order a competition leo, or the boys unitard/pants/shorts, you can print out the form below and put in my mailbox with a check payable to Leanne Riordan.  I will have these forms at the booster club meeting Monday night Nov 9, and will be collecting payment at that time too.

Prices are as follows: Girls leo $71.50, Boys unitard $42, Boys pants and shorts range from $25.50 to $41.50, depending on the size.

If you do not place an order at the booster club meeting, the last day  to turn in the forms to my mailbox is Saturday Nov. 14 at 430 pm. I will be placing the order on Monday morning, Nov 16, and will not be at the gym on Sunday.

Grand March at Nationals

The Grand March at Nationals and Regional All Star competition will be held in the San Jose Convention Center Saturday June 27. This will be the only time that our whole team will be together for an event at Nationals. It’s a fun night and will be a highlight of your trip.

Athletes need to report to Hall 1 promptly at 515 for The Grand March. They need to be dressed in warm up pants, jacket, white socks, sneakers and competition hair. Only athletes participating in the Grand March will receive the Grand March souvenir.

The March will begin at 6 pm, but spectators should get in early to get tickets and seats. Tickets are $6. If you’ve already purchased a ticket for Session 6 that day, you do not need to purchase an additional ticket.

The Regional All-Star competition will take place immediately after the Grand March. Ivanna Antezanna will be representing our region (Region 6) in trampoline.
