The club bodysuit is required for all recreational gymnasts. The girls should wear their club bodysuit for training and all other club events such as the Gymnaestradas. The body suits can be ordered at the Open House September 10th. Returning gymnasts are welcome to bring their last year bodysuits for trading. The gymnasts will also need gymnastics or ballet slippers or toe-shoes. These can be found in most department stores such as Wal-Mart or you can visit a shoe store such as Kiddie Cobbler. Specialty stores such as Brio or Malabar will also carry the slippers. The girls should come to class with their hair secured neatly off of their face. For girls with long hair, a ponytail, bun, or braid is recommended.   Attendence Attendance is taken at each class and recognition is given at the year end gymnaestrada for perfect attendance. Classes cannot be ‘made-up' for this award. The gymnast must attend regularly scheduled classes to be eligible. Other awards are also given at the gymnaestrada. Gymnaestrada After each semester, a gymnaestrada will be held to showcase the gymnasts' routines. All recreational gymnasts will perform and are expected to wear their club bodysuit.
