Happy Fall Ya'll!
The gym remains full of energy and is buzzing with excitement!
We've had several new families join our team program this past month. We want to extend a warm welcome; we're thrilled you have chosen Intown Stars for your gymnastics home.
Quarterly skill assessments are wrapping up, and the athletes are setting goals for the season. Results will be sent out to families soon from your athletes' head coach or program coordinator. Once results are received, you can email the following managers to answer any questions. Shareef: Xcel, Taylor: USAG 4-10, Nia/Mykal: NGA & Xcel Bronze, Tyler: Men's. If you do not receive your gymnast's results by October 12th, email Ashley: Team Director.

We will be highlighting coaches and gymnasts monthly, who represent our core values. The Coach of the month is assigned by the Team Director, and the gymnast of the month is elected by coaches and staff.
Our core value for October is FUN. Our Coach of The Month is Nia! Coach Nia is our NGA Level 3/4 Head Coach and she works hard to create fun lesson planning for her gymnasts and find humor in their training journey together.
Our Gymnast of The Month is Kourtney Seabase. Kourtney always comes to practice with a contagious positive energy. It rubs off not only on her teammates, but also on her coaches! No matter what kind of day she is having, Kourtney is always down to do a silly dance, tell a funny story, or find a way to make the gym a positive, fun environment for everyone.

Congratulations to Coach Nia and Kourtney! Keep on showing us the fun! | | |
|
We are lighthearted, don't take ourselves too seriously, create ways or fun to happen, and find humor in our journey together. | |

Women's Teams Meet Schedules
XCEL PARENTS-there is a change to your schedule. Instead of competing in Huntsville at Elevate the Stage, the teams will now compete in Kupets Invitational in Savannah, the same weekend. The change was made because the NCAA meet is no longer being held in conjunction with Elevate the Stage (The schedule below does not yet reflect the change but is being updated by marketing).
| Men's Teams Meet Schedules | |
Men's Team
Men's section contains information
applicable to men's team only.
Thank you for taking care of your USAG renewals and purchases. All team members have active memberships and are ready to take on the season! Georgia Men's Gymnastics requires a seasonal athlete fee of $10 per athlete. Intown Stars will handle this for you and the charge will be added to your account.
The boys program continues to grow. Several new boys classes are being offered and these will help fuel the development of the men’s team program.
As a reminder, the date for the Judge's Cup meet has moved. The meet will take place December 18th. Please do not forget to email Coach Tyler if the change does not work for your family.

PRE-TEAM PRESS
The Pre-Team Press will highlight the different programs
that fall under the umbrella of Pre-Team. Mighty Mites, Team Prep, Rising Stars(team sprouts), and Shooting Stars are all of our wonderful Pre-Team groups.

Introducing our Shooting Stars!
Shooting Stars in our newest program under the umbrella of Pre-Team at Intown Stars. The Shooting Stars program is to allow advanced recreational students to be introduced to team regimens, practice styles, and skills at an accelerated rate. The emphasis is on building shapes, strength and flexibility to help gymnasts become prepared for our Gym Stars or Xcel programs over time. The learning and execution phase are delicately balanced to maintain athletes love and excitement for the sport and long term growth.
Testing
PreTeam does not have skill testing because their skills are tracked in skill tracker. Preteams do have starting assessments and strength testing. You can access skill tracker through the parent portal, the coaches update skill tracker every few months.
