Have your Birthday Party at EDGE!  
September 2010
What's New at EDGE?
 
 With fall approaching and school back in session, we have plenty of new happenings at Edge!
 
Welcome Our New Office Manager
We'd like to welcome our new office manager, Tiffany Ross!
If you do not know Tiffany, make sure to stop by the front desk and say hello! You may have seen Tiffany working the office in the winter and spring sessions in the evenings and Saturdays, but she will now be working the office full time.

 Tiffany lives in Mountain House, but grew up in San Jose. She has four children, two of whom do gymnastics at EDGE! 
She left her job of six years at a law office to work at EDGE!!
Tiffany loves the beach, the snow, jet skiing, and spending time with her kids.
 
Meghan will continue to work in the office, but will be cutting back because she was recently accepted to nursing school!  Congratulations Meghan!
 
New Equipment at Edge
Edge and the Edge Gymnastics Foundation have recently purchased some new equipment!  We would like to thank the Edge Gymnastics Foundation for the following: 2 extra large 4-inch landing mats and a new balance beam, and coming soon you'll notice a new bar over the pit, a spotting platform for bars, and an air floor! We also have the Boulder (a great back-handspring trainer), two 8-inch landing mats, and coming soon a new bar set, a new barrel, and additional stall bars! We are so excited for all of the new additions as the Edge programs grow!
We've recently added some "equipment" in the viewing area as well.  Make sure to check out the chalk board on the pony wall in front of the bleachers... a great way to keep your little one's occupied when you're waiting for class or siblings!

Edge Attends Region One Coaches Congress
Many of our Edge coaches attended Region One Congress August 21 - 22nd, an educational seminar hosted by USA Gymnastics, and taught by gymnastics industry experts from around the country! This was an exciting opportunity for our coaches learn some new techniques and tricks to bring back to Edge and teach to your little children!
 
Fall Cleaning
We have recently had some cleaning done in the gym to get ready for the new fall session!  Our carpets are looking beautiful after being steam cleaned. As a reminder, please make sure to eat and drink in non-carpeted areas only to keep our gym sparkling!
 Upcoming Events
 
 Go Green Meet at Edge coming September 25th - 26th   

Edge Gymnastics will host our second annual Go Green meet right here at Edge.  Teams from all over Northern California will compete right here at Edge!

 
When:
Saturday and Sunday, September 25th and 26th 
Where: Edge Gymnastics Training Center
 
Come support our Edge gymnasts at this fun event!

Edge will not hold classes Saturday, September 25th, due to the meet. Saturday students may schedule a make-up for missed classes.

Support the Edge Gymnastics Foundation!
 
EDGE parents can now support the EDGE Gymnastics Foundation through eScrip by adding EDGE to their account.  eScrip allows up to 3 groups to support, so parents can still support their children's schools. EDGE's eScrip ID number is 500024563.
 
 To support EDGE with the eScrip program, parents need to go to www.escrip.com and register.  If you already have an account, you just need to add EDGE as a group you want to support.  You can find EDGE, by either entering in Group Name "EDGE Gymnastics Foundation" or Group ID "500024563".
 
TRX Fitness Classes Coming Soon to Edge Gymnastics!
 
Have you seen our TRX apparatus hanging from the stall bars in the gym and wondered what on earth was their purpose?  TRX Suspension Training is a workout using your own body weight to build strength, flexibility, balance, and core stability, all at once!
 
Edge will initially offer 30-minute adult classes.  We are in the process of developing our schedule, so let us know if you are interested and what times are best for you!

It's all core, all the time!

Introducing Coach Jade!
 

Please welcome to Edge Coach Jade McLean.  Jade joined Edge in mid-August and has been working primarily with Devo (pre-competitive) and Teams.

Jade has been coaching gymnastics for 17 years.  Her gymnastics career began at the age of 4, and the flipping and twisting in the living room quickly turned into competitive gymnastics through the age of 17.  Her favorite event as an athlete was bars.  As a coach, she has worked with all ages and levels of kids, from parent-tot classes to elites.  She has a passion for conditioning and is a strong believer in keeping kids healthy!  Aside from conditioning, Jade says her favorite thing about coaching is watching athletes' challenges turn into success.  She has experience as a  gym owner, as a level 8-rated judge, and she has participated in multiple community outreach programs. 

Her life outside the gym includes working on completing a degree in sports management, as well as a recertification as a personal trainer.  She also loves to travel; she recently returned from Africa, and will be travelling to Belize soon.  Her favorite color is GREEN and she loves cucumbers and oranges!

She has coached in the Bay Area for 8 years, and we are excited to welcome her to Edge where she will initially work with the Devo 3, Level 5 Team, and Optional Team, as well as preschool and Academy classes! Please take a moment to welcome Jade and introduce yourself!


New Teachers!

In addition to our new team coach, we would also like to welcome our new Academy and Preschool staff who completed the Edge teacher certification and training over the summer!  Please welcome Savannah Spencer, Gunjan Baird, Carrie Stouffer, and Rachel Chiang.

We also have several teachers in training, who may be shadowing classes as they complete their training.  Please welcome Jordan Ratcliff, Hannah Lachman, and Kirsten Trout.  We look forward to them joining our permanent teaching staff very soon! 

Preschool Program News
 
New Open Gym Time!
