Showtime Spirit & Premier Athletics

Showtime Spirit will combine with Premier Athletics in January 2010, merging the Lexington gyms Kentucky Elite & Showtime Spirit. The combination won’t lead to major changes this season, but by the time next season begins the gyms will be operating as one. This season the All Star teams will continue as originally planned, competing under Kentucky Elite and Showtime Spirit at separate events, and the school teams will continue with business as usual. There may be some adjustments with classes in an attempt to utilize the strengths of the combine staff and make classes more convenient for students.

There isn’t much to say about next season yet, but information will be made available as details are finalized.

First Competition

My gym, Showtime Spirit, had it’s first competition yesterday. Of our 3 teams, 2 finished first and 1 finished second. Both first place teams had one other team in their division and the second place finisher had 2 additional teams in the division. Overall I thought it was a successful day. Our performances were pretty strong, by no means perfect, but good for a season opener. The parents were excited and happy. I think this weekend will take away a little of the pressure because there is no longer doubt about whether or not we will actually have competitive teams.
