33RD ANNUAL FIESTA BOWL INVITATIONAL

Our 33rd Annual Fiesta Bowl Invitational Women's Gymanstics Competition ust ocncluded this weekend. The meet was held at Rawhide and featured hundreds of gymnasts from all over the country. Desert Lights Level 6, 7 and 8 teams were Team Champions!!

SPRING BREAK

Desert Lights does not take any time off for Spring Break. Our gymnasts come from many different cities and school districts and do not all have the same Spring Break. Please be sure your gymasts is in class if you are in town. If you will be vacationing, you may schedule your make-up through the front desk.

GYM CLASS REMINDERS

1. Gymnasts should be properly attired for gymnastics - leotard with or without fitted shorts, hair off the face and neck, and no jewelry.

2. You do not neet to check in at the front desk unless you are doing a make-up. The coach will check your gymnasts in.

3. Please collect all of your belongings from the locker room. We have many articles that are never claimed - coats, books, shoes, etc.

4. Keep up on the schedule, calendar and coming events by reading the newsletter and visiting this website - desertlightsgymnastics.net

COACHING STAFF

We have gymnasts that are here for many different reasons, and we have the coaching staff to accomodate all of those reasons. We have coaches that can push students, coaches to prepare your gymnast for competition, and coaches to just have fun with your gymnast while they learn some gymnastics in a safe environment. Please let us know if you want a different coaching environment for your gymnasts needs.
