TEAM CENTRAL HOSTS FOOD DRIVE FOR LOAVES & FISHES
On Saturday, January 13th, Team Central hosted a Food Drive Open Gym to help support Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry.  The cost to attend the event was a donation of 2 non-perishable food items.  From this event, they were able to provide the food pantry with large barrels full of food.  Olympia and Team Central love being able to help out our community and help make happy, healthy, confident people. 

SAFETY TIP OF THE MONTH
It is Olympia's top priority to keep our students, parents, and staff safe.  When in the gym students should not wear shoes, socks, tights, zippers, belts, or snaps when participating in class.  

MANCHESTER BOYS TEAM TAKES TOP HONORS
Our Manchester Boys Team competed in the Meet Me in St. Louis competition January 6 & 7th.  The boys had several individual placements and the Level 4 Boys won 1st place team.  




BIG WIN FOR NINJA INSTRUCTOR
A big congratulations to Coach Katherine who came in 4th place and qualified for the National Ninja League (NNL) Finals at the competition this past Saturday! Coach Jack and Coach Jenny were also among the 44 competitors. 

The NNL has age brackets for competitions (starting at age 6), but they allow athletes to move up in age group if they place in the top 3 of their age group at a competition. 


TUMBLE, JUMP, FILP, & RUN...JOIN US FOR BIRTHDAY FUN!
Invite your friends to join in your birthday celebration with jumping, tumbling, bouncing, and more.  Even better, your birthday child will get a special trophy and attendees will receive a birthday medal (silver and gold packages).  Our parties are good for sports, scout groups, and friend events to celebrate end of year accomplishments as well.  Scheduling a party is easy!  Simply call the office to coordinate your special day or event.  A $25.00 deposit reserves your spot.

2018 SPRING PERFORMANCE
Each spring at Olympia Gymnastics, students receive “TOP” scores as they perform their skills before a crowd of raving fans. Children shine, family and friends beam and coaches are filled with pride. The annual spring performance is a super confidence building event packed with fun.

The gym is transformed to reflect this year’s spectacular theme of journey to the 2018 SUPERHEROES. Children and staff wear specially designed t-shirts. Routines are created. The gala is underway. The performance starts off with a thrilling grand entrance followed by a hand clapping, foot stamping warm up routine. Students then brilliantly show off their stuff on several pieces of equipment. Lastly, each child receives a well deserved award and then it's time for pictures with mom, dad, grandma, grandpa and any other special person you child invites to the show.


Applause is strongly encouraged. There are many “TADA” moments. It’s a performance you don’t want to miss! Your children work hard all year to learn the skills that they get to show off at this performance. We hope you will enjoy the show. Keep an eye out for details from your location on the upcoming Spring Performance dates and times as well as t-shirt order deadlines.
