A reminder that Athlete
Registration for the 2009-2010 Competitive Year is
now open. The National Office will not be mailing out forms
to each gym. You should download whatever form(s) you
need and then duplicate them. You are responsible for having
a new form from the parents of each gymnast on file in your
office before you go to renew them online. They should be kept
on file throughout the year. You need the Athlete Registration
Form ($49) for all the girls competing in the JO Program from
Level 4 up. Prep Opt girls have a choice between the full
Athlete Registration or the Introductory Athlete Registration
($15) which does not include the magazines. Fees are for online
registration only, additional $5 each for mail registrations.

USA Gymnastics has
created a
specific ruling about what information can be listed
about any child in online postings. Only the athlete's
name and club may be shown. These are normally posted
on Regional/State or Club websites. Parents are to be made aware
that postings as noted above will be allowed and they must notify
the meet director via their club coach, if they do not wish
to allow their child's name listed at all. The web pages
made by our ProScore program conform to this requirement so
it is nothing new to be concerned about. |

mileage reimbursement has dropped to $.55
