*NEW* Compulsory Level Up Camp: Call for Interest 

The tentative plans are to have 4 coaches lead an apparatus each where athletes can work on next level skills and tricky text. 

This camp would be held in conjunction with the Grizzly Invitational where Compulsory athletes will be competing on May 12. The camp itself would be hosted at Synergy Gymnastics on Saturday, May 13.

Please email mkomagata@gymbc.org if you are interested in attending so we can determine if there is enough interest to pursue this plan further.
