Here is the link for the Through the Years photos. http://www.flosgymnastics.com/years/Cover.htm

It is still a work in progress. Please email pictures to Bonnie at cheering@comcast.net.


DROPPING STUDENTS OFF/PARKING LOT--Do not stop!!! Drive to the back of the building!!
A safety issue has been brought to my attention AGAIN!!!: People are stopping to drop students off at the entrance (by the sidewalk) which backs cars up on Rt. 228. When you enter the parking lot, please do not stop to drop off your children!!!!! Continue to drive in and loop around to the back parking lot.
ALSO: the parking lot is NOT an ashtray!!! Please do not throw cigarette butts in the parking lot. Ashtrays are provided outside the gym doors!


COACHES' PARKING SPOT
The spots by the handicapped parking are reserved for coaches. Please do not park in these spots. Thanks.


CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS AT THE GYM
Cheerleaders enjoy celebrating their birthdays at the gym by bringing a snack for their team members. We do not want to take this away from them. But there are rules that must be followed. Absolutely no sprinkles or icing on any treats are permitted in the gym. Please bring treats that do not create a mess. Thanks!


CALLING/EMAIL COACHES ON PERSONAL PHONES
Please do not call or email the coaches regarding anything. You are to call the gym.


SPIRIT ITEMS/USING SEQUIN COLORS
In order to keep our coloring consistent regarding spirit items this year, the correct colors will be posted in the balcony as soon as the uniforms are finalized from the uniform company. ALL spirit items must be approved by the front desk. Just a reminder that no one is permitted to use "FCA" on anything.


EMBROIDERING CLOTHING - It is our policy that no one is permitted to use the FCA name or the FCA logo on any clothing. All items using this name and logo (whether it is screen printed or embroidered) must be purchased through the gym. Airbrushed items may be purchased at competitions using the FCA name. These items must be purchased at competitions.


SHOE POLICY
The following was emailed to me (Flo) from the owners of Tumbl Trak and this is why we have a Shoe Policy at our gym, not only for our Tumbl Trak but the mats as well.....
"Shoes are creeping more and more into the gym. Cheerleaders want to practice with their shoes on and coaches often wear them as they teach. What the cheerleaders and coaches don’t know is that street shoes (shoes that are worn to the gym) may have pieces of gravel, glass, or other foreign objects attached to the bottom. Getting a piece of glass or gravel on the bottom of a shoe can be as easy as walking through the parking lot. At Tumbl Trak we receive calls from gyms whose Tumbl Trak beds are wearing quickly, have rips, or have gotten small holes in them."
Please do not wear outside shoes on our mats. This is not only to keep our equipment in good shape, but also for the protection of all our students. Thank you for not wearing outside shoes on the mats. If you see someone that is breaking our rule, please let me know. Thanks!
