‘Twas the Night Before the Gym Meet

Written by Kaitlyn Gilman

Inspired by the poem A Visit from St. Nicholas by Clement Clarke Moore

‘Twas the night before the gym meet, and throughout all the gyms

Gymnasts were practicing their skills, and stretching their limbs.

They wished each other luck as they headed outside,

And drove home for dinner, homework, and bedtime.

The gymnasts then nestled all snug in their beds

While visions of victory danced in their heads.

The next morning they rose, all ready and rested;

Prepared to perform their best; prepared to be tested.

Now floor, now bars, now vault, now beam!

Gymnasts hear the cheers from the crowd and their team!

As events come to a close, the gymnasts converge

To see which winners emerge.

Steps:

1. Open your clear ornament.
2. Pour a bit of paint into the ornament and seal the top with a little piece of tape.
3. Roll and rotate the ornament

Choosing The Right Gymnastics Gym

It can be hard knowing how to pick the right gymnastics gym, especially if you are new to the sport of gymnastics. Snowflake Designs is here to help you make sure you select the right gym for your new gymnast!

1. Coaches

A coach or teacher can make or break your child’s gymnastics experience. While you’re at the gym looking at the equipment, watch the coaches working with the gymnasts. Are they attentive? Do they get and keep the kids motivated? Do they seem knowledgeable? Ask a few parents how their children enjoy the coaches. Coaches and staff should be approachable for comments,
