Health Notes 
Smart Snacking

What snacks are best before practice?

 

Trying to juggle kid's schedules, school work, sports and other activities doesn't leave much time for ideal snacks and meals.

 

Now that schools are getting out a bit later, it is important to make sure to pack your children snacks that will help them both with focus, and performance.  Snacks before practice are essential to last them 3 to 4 hours. The best snacks are snacks that are filling and low in sugar and high in protein. For optimal performance it is important to maintain the balance of fiber and sugar so kids do not get that insulin spike then the crash in energy. Pack snacks that will continue to release energy even after carb loading. They need snacks that provide lasting  energy as apposed to short lived energy providing snacks.

Team News
GMS Team Spirit Week

The GMS Boy's and Girl's teams rallied together for an amazing Spirit week to kick off the 2014-2015 season.  Team members showed their GMS team spirit by uniting to celebrate daily themes. Teams from Pre-team to Level 10 participated. We finished the week with an inspiring Pep Rally, where team members got to meet new members and bonded with the old. Each team created a unique skit and performed it for their teammates.  We are so proud of all the veteran gymnasts for showing the younger ones what it means to show sportsmanship and team unity. Coaches talked about the importance of remembering the "why" of what we do and the dedication it takes to achieve a goal.  We are so very excited to kick off the competitive season soon! We encourage all GMS gymnasts to attend the home meets and show team spirit during invitationals. The complete competition schedule will be on our website in October.  In the meantime, don't forget to save the date for the " Flip for the Fight" invitational.
