Welcome 2009/20010 Season Twisters Elite!!!

Missed Tryouts? Call 847-372-9089 to join!

     We thank all the athletes and families who registered this 6th season at Twisters Elite. Keep in mind that athletes were only required to be evaluated 1 of the 2 days. This has been our largest registration to date and biggest turnout of high level athletes! We will be featuring 2 Senior Level 5 teams, a Senior 4.2, Junior 3, Youth 2, Mini 1, Tiny 1, Youth Hip Hop, Junior Hip Hop, and Senior Hip Hop this season year round. Plus we will be having an additional summer sampler team that is not included in the tryout numbers below. 11 Teams, with over 200 athletes!

 

     Also we would like to announce our new tumble and class program. We have partnered with Kelly Eckhart and Joe Schnur who both have extensive tumble training, extensive cheer coaching experience, and specialize in working through mental blocks. Many of you know who they are, out of respect for the facility they left to join our program, we will not say where they are from but trust me when I say, these talented coaches will take our tumbling program to a whole new level! We already had 24 hours worth of classes running solid but we are bumping up to 40 hours of classes per week including new day classes for tiny-tot and pre-school tumblers. Stay tuned for the new class schedule starting June 1st. Summer clinics and classes will also be added during the day according to tumble level. All athletes will go through an evaluation system and will know what their goals will be to attend the next level class.

 

     Lastly, the PINK is going GREEN this season! We are in the process of setting up an easier online payment system where each athlete will set up an account on the website (web store) and you will be able to easily log in and make payments at home, work, even at the front counter. This new system will include class registration, team dues, uniform payments, apparel purchases, etc. We already use email but we will also use Twitter messaging, text messaging, Facebook, and Myspace messaging to send updates and last minute information. Team coordinators will have instructions on how to get your accounts linked to ours and hopefully we can all save some trees!
