Diamond’s Annual Bunny Hop Meet

The Bunny Hop meet is a fun, recreational “competition” for all of Diamond’s recreational gymnasts! We encourage all students (boys, girls, tumblers, and even preschoolers) to participate! Simple routines, displaying the skills being learned in each level, will be taught during class. At the Bunny Hop meet, the gymnasts will perform their routines in each event for a chance to score a perfect 10! A smiling instructor will always be close by for help, keeping this gymnastics meet pressure-free! All participants will leave feeling good about themselves, and loaded with ribbons and medals! 

 

The 2012 Bunny Hop Meet will be Saturday, April 21st at 3pm

 

For more information, or to sign up, stop by the front desk or call Diamond at (913) 851-7500.

Have you heard of the Diamond Academy Gymnastics Rec Team yet?

If your daughter just can’t get enough of the gym, or loves competing in meets like the Turkey Trot or Bunny Hop, then Rec Team is the PERFECT fit!

The Rec Team consists of level 2, 3, and 4 gymnasts. The girls work out together as a team for 6-7 hours a week-building teamwork, discipline, and becoming best friends! Your daughter will learn the entire realm of gymnastics skills; from dance to tumbling on the floor, vault, bars and beam. The gymnasts will learn routines and use them while competing in roughly 6 local meets, both as a team and individually. And they get to wear a Diamond competitive leotard and warm-up!

Come to tryouts to see if Rec Team is a good fit for your daughter. During tryouts, the girls will work out with current team members, including warm-up and conditioning during all four events!

Tryouts are Thursday, March 22nd from 4:00-7:30. and Saturday, March 24th from 11:00-2:30.

For more information about the Diamond Academy Rec Team, or to sign up for tryouts, please call Diamond Academy at (913) 851-7500.
