9 What the Gymnast Should Wear In the Gym: Preferably a leotard. A one piece swimsuit would also work. Spandex, leggings, or any type of shorts. Most of the time we will be without footwear. Loose clothing such as t-shirts can be a safety issue. HAIR WILL BE UP. No loose long hair. Competition/Meets: Team Competition Leo & Warm Up NO JEWELRY. This is a WIAA rule for gymnasts. Undergarments cannot show as this will cause deductions. Hair must be tightly secured. Deduction taken if the gymnast pushes hair off of her face. An athletic brace on the body cannot be worn during meets. Tape is allowed.

10 Miscellaneous Leotards can be found at: Madison Turners where we practice ONLINE at GK Elite, Amazon, or Ebay Gymfinity in Fitchburg Badgers Gymnastics Academy Madtown Twisters Floor music & Choreography are key pieces in the creativity of High School Gymnastics. The gymnasts and MG coaches will create routines along with selecting floor music which fits the gymnast s personality and skill level. You are not responsible for purchasing floor music unless you so desire. Music will be approved by coaches. Grips & Wrist Guards are not required.

11 PARTICIPATION Attend all scheduled meets/practices which include scheduled community outings. Arrive on time- this means on the floor ready to start! Plan ahead. Give yourself extra time prior to practice for hair, grips, clothing, etc. Tardiness will result in added conditioning for the team. Injury- returning to practice after an injury requires clearance from our Athletic Trainer. At times, you may also need an MD order. Illness- Contact the coach and rest up! (You may need a note from your MD to return to practice after an illness which required medical care, hospitalization, or lengthy time off.) When choosing to participate in MGHS gymnastics, you have decided to follow the rules/regs of this program. At practice and meets, we are a team. Our gymnasts will not be coached or assisted by any other coaches or instructors during season. If this occurs, you will not be eligible to participate in meets.

12 EXCUSED Absences: family vacation, illness, or injury. Contact Coach Jenny ahead of time if you know you have a vacation planned. I will add it to my calendar. If there are excessive absences of any kind, participation in competition may be held. To be eligible for competition, the gymnast must have passing grades and adhere to the MGHS Athletic Code of Conduct. You must have attended school the day of a meet. If school is missed due to MD appt, wedding/funeral, or Admin approval, all are acceptable to practice or compete. If school was missed due to illness, notify a coach that you will not be attending practice that day. Excused absence but school policy states you will not attend practice that day. We appreciate the communication :)

13 Unexcused Absences- (no call/no show) x1 = extra conditioning at practice x2 = miss out on a meet plus added conditioning at practice x3 or more = may be dismissed from Team for this season.

14 Varsity Letters Varsity letters are earned when a gymnast competes Varsity level in at least 50% of meets. Coaches discretion for any other letters. Varsity has five gymnasts per event. JV has up to 10 gymnasts per event. All meets are both Varsity and JV except Invitationals

15 Athlete Expectations Maintain your academics. Your time is limited. Properly organize. Always display good sportsmanship. Smile at the judges. Attend all practices, meets, and scheduled team activities. Arrive early. Work hard at practice. Follow through with the coaches plan. Treat all coaches and teammates with courtesy and respect. Speak to the Coach regarding gymnastics concerns sooner than later. Follow MGHS school policies. No use of drugs, alcohol, or tobacco. Encourage your teammates to be the best they can be. Come prepared re: clothing, hair, and water bottle. The gym is for gymnastics. Drama belongs in the theatre. ABSOLUTELY NO CELL PHONES during practice (or other electronics). Stay clear of negative pictures or negative talk of any sort on social media!!!! You represent your team, your school, your family.

16 Parent Expectations - Allow/ encourage your gymnast to speak with the coach first regarding gymnastics concerns that she may have. -Check badgerconference.org for schedule, bus times, and meet locations - Support the rules and regulations of the school, sports, and coaches -Enjoy the season. High school goes by quickly!
