3. All competitors must belong to the AAU & NEOGL gymnastic leagues.  The dues are $15.00 for AAU and $20.00 for NEOGL.  This also can be paid by any fundraisers we are having, and this is due by October 15th. 
4. Upper-level gymnasts will be invited to join the USAG league and compete at USAG sanctioned meets.  You will be given directions on how to pay those dues.

PERSONAL CARE

Rest and diet are two key elements for success.  Remember, gymnasts must rest on Friday and Saturday to ensure successful and safe weekend practices.  Nutrition is a must for the success and safety of every gymnast.  Also, washing hands often and wearing proper clothes cuts down on illnesses.  Sharing drinks in the gym is not allowed.

INJURIES

An injury does not allow a gymnast to miss practice.  Conditioning and other methods of training are almost always possible even with an injury. 

TEAM PHILOSOPHY

            Those individuals that exhibit both the physical abilities and the commitment to achieve success are invited to KDGC’s competitive team program.  Physical skills are attainable through dedication and the motivation to succeed.  For this reason, KDGC feels that commitment is the most important factor in achieving success.  We have coached gymnasts that have been lacking in physical abilities yet have attained success well beyond what was “expected”.  Similarly, we have seen gymnasts with the physical ability to excel while not possessing the commitment to work toward progressively higher levels.  Hard work is always expected.
