WAG Happy Halloween! Are yours practicing tonight?

[GymMom4]

Mine are still having practice but will end early to go trick or treating.

How about yours?

 

[suebee]

Same here!

 

[GymDad9.9]

Yes...in their costumes with early release.

 

[GymDad9.9]

I just walked in gym. Fun sight with all the girls and coaches in costumes having fun. I see someone in full Unicorn!

Practiced moved. So no gym today.

 

[Splash123]

We did the same tonight. Gymnasts and coaches dressed up - paid 50p and got a little bag of sweets/chocolate at the end of their session. But we are doing Halloween week so the kids that don't train tonight get to dress up on their training nights

No practice Usually groups are really small on past Halloween practices. The younger kids leave really early or don't show up at all....so we just decided to give everyone the day off this year. Happy coaches, happy kids, and happy parents for not having to juggle 1,000 activities.

Optionals were practicing until 8pm (which is when trick or treating is winding down here). I told the coaches that she would miss tonight as she's still in elementary school. We would have gone if practice was earlier.

 

[SHELOVESGYM]

Practice is on for DD but she's not going -we can't fit in practice plus trick or treating on a school night so something had to give. She very rarely misses gym but this seemed like a good time to skip.

I used to love Halloween practice! Barely anyone would show up so we got to do interesting/fun uptraining and I'd do stuff like new drills and new combinations - that I'd probably never perfect or compete but it was fun to try.

In the past DD has always practiced in favor of Halloween. One year the coach was mad that she showed up because everyone else skipped, and she could've went home if not for my DD. This year we decided to skip and enjoy a family day. My DD said she didn't leave artistic behind to let rhythmic/t&t take over her life too. Coach was very understanding.

 

[skschlag]

Nope. Gym closed. NO practice.

 

[amiandjim]

No practice for level 3 but optionals had practice.

 

[BachFlyer]

No practice for our girls. We also always have a Halloween party after practice the Saturday before. They play games and make a haunted maze out of the mats, and have a Costume contest that the older girls judge.

 

[twinmomma]

Coach said don't bring them. They either are all hyped up on sugar or they get makeup on the trampoline LOL.

 

[mom2newgymnast]

Practice was canceled at our gym. We probably wouldn't have gone anyway.

 

[Canadian_gym_mom]

She trains 1-6 but it ended at 4 today. No evening classes for the kids who usually train at night. Boo!

 

[fuzi]

Gym closed (and it doesn't hurt that it is the 5th Monday and our rec tuition is based on 4 weeks a month)! Makes for happier kids, happier parents, and happier coaches.

 

[flipandfly]

Shortened practice (states this weekend - have to maintain skills)

 

[OwlGalLiz]

Got an email this afternoon that due to low attendance it was cancelled.
