2015 Gymnastics Show
This year’s gymnastics program at the Rec is bigger and better than ever!
We are home to the Long Island Independent Gymnastics League and we boast the top 2 teams in the
league (RVC Ultimate and RVC United). The Rec. also is the home of the Rising Stars and Gymnastics
Club developmental program of 60 dedicated gymnasts who are training two days a week in the hopes of
making one of the competitive teams in the future. Our recreation program instructional classes are held 6
days a week, with a total of over 700 girls and boys in grades pre-K through 9.
This program has come a long way since the inception of the gymnastics program back in 1975. Our twodozen gymnasts used wrestling mats borrowed from South Side High School, a wooden balance beam
and free-standing uneven bars in those inaugural shows! “Sesame Street” was the first themed show in
1980, with “Rainbow Connection” as our first warm-up number.
We hope that everyone who has participated in the Fall or Winter sessions of gymnastics will be able to
participate in this year’s Gymnastics Show. Due to the fact that this is not an instructional program in the
Spring session, new students must wait until the Summer session to register when the instructional
programs begins again.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
GYMNASTS MUST WEAR A LEOTARD OR UNITARD, OF ANY STYLE AND COLOR FOR SHOW
PERFORMANCE. NO SKIRTS OR EXTRA FRILLS, PLEASE!
ABSOLUTELY NO JEWELRY FOR SHOW PERFORMANCES. WE WILL NOT TAPE OVER PIERCED
EARRINGS. PLAN ACCORDINGLY.
Once practices begin, you cannot change your registration.
Look carefully at your calendar at home and register for the class day and performance that works for you.
Please make note of the mandatory dress-rehearsals that correspond with your show. Start now to make
arrangements with soccer practices or music lessons or other obligations that may conflict. We cannot
save a place for you in a class, and do not assume that we know you will be registering!
When a show performance is closed, it is closed.
SORRY, LAST MINUTE CHANGES CANNOT BE ACCOMMODATED!
PLEASE, PLEASE CHECK YOUR CALENDARS NOW TO AVOID LAST-MINUTE DROP-OUTS AND
CONFLICTS. Even one child dropping out changes EVERYTHING!
We are blessed with a talented and dedicated group of senior gymnastics coaches, supported by our high
school staff and volunteers. The instructors will be helping your child choose one event on which she will
perform (bars, beam or vault), in addition to her floor exercise routine. Our goal is to have your child show
you her strongest skills, which may not necessarily be on her favorite event! Please support us in our
endeavor to advise her on the best choice.
With your help, support and cooperation, the 2015 shows will be a big success. If you have any questions,
problems, or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact Heather ([email protected]).
All information regarding gymnastics will be posted on our RVC Rec Gymnastics Facebook page and on
the Rec. Dept. website at WWW.RVCREC.WEEBLY.COM.
Happy Handstands!
