Present Time (PT)

Much of this blog is background and context. What's going on now?

On the summer schedule, the levels come in at different times. Coach P. has the honor of being there for every practice. I split time with the older Level 4's and the 5's, and with the new USAIGC team. On the one hand, we're putting all the older compulsory girls in IGC. On the other, we have a USAIGC-only team that's never competed before. In the fall, they'll all practice together.

The USAIGC girls are behind the 4's and 5's. For the most part. There's one whippersnapper cranking out back walkovers on the low beam. And another girl who miraculously dropped her split from about ten inches off the ground to two. As a group, they're energetic and hardworking. I like this. So does Coach P. I think we can make something happen.

Dear Fran,

Play your cards right and maybe you too will conquer the mill circle!
