A little fun throwing with the cheer squad this morning! We ♥ tossing people above our heads and to the ceiling. And, this is how we begin every Saturday morning–with cheer squad practice!
If you’re interested in Gem City’s cheer squad be on the lookout for information in March!
On February 9th and 10th Gem City competed at the Tumbling & Trampoline Winter Circus meet. It was hosted by the YMCA of Edwardsville. It was a great meet that ran ahead of schedule. We really loved this. This was especially impressive considering over 900 athletes competed! Needless to say the competition was fierce, but we fared well.
Scroll dow to read the results. Oh! As an added bonus you’ll find a video of one of Mick Bramlett’s passes below! Enjoy.
