Although our TGGA gymnasts got a break, this past weekend was very successful for TAAF athletes throughout the ASI Family. ASI The Woodlands swept the Team Competition at Biron’s “Peace, Love & Gymnastics” Meet in Houston, winning 1st place for levels 1,2,3,4 and 5! A huge congratulations to coaches Julie and Nick and their amazing athletes! The Plano West Level 4s won 1st place in the small team division of the “Heart and Soul” meet, hosted by Richardson Gymnastics. Congrats to coach Whitney and her awesome level 4s!

Gymnastics is widely thought of as an individual sport, but nothing tastes as sweet as a victory shared with your teammates! In the Team component of gymnastics competitions, everyone’s scores combine for an overall team score, so teammates learn to appreciate each other’s unique contributions and specialties. It’s a great opportunity for kids to work together toward a common goal. Providing opportunities for every child to contribute in a team environment is just one of the ways ASI makes a difference in the lives of kids through gymnastics!

As the season continues, follow all of our athletes and their incredible achievements here on the ASI blog, and on our Facebook and Twitter pages. Keep working hard, gymnasts!

Last weekend, ASI Gymnastics hosted our “Party Like a Rockstar” Meet at ASI Allen, and the girls who competed rocked harder than the Super Bowl halftime show! Our athletes had a fantastic meet, and while the girls were rocking out on the beam, bars, floor, and vault, hundreds of adoring fans (proud coaches and parents) looked on in amazement.

Gymnasts from levels 1-3 competed in four sessions on Saturday and three sessions on Sunday for a grand total of 481 athletes from 14 different gyms! The Level 1s from ASI Arlington took first place, as did Levels 2 and 3 from Lake Highlands. Talk about Rockstars! The full meet results can be found here.

The next ASI Meets will be the TAAF “Weekend with the Girls” Meet down at ASI The Woodlands on February 22-23, and the TGGA “Survivor Challenge” Meet at ASI Keller on March 1-2. As always, you can check out our Facebook Page for pictures of all the incredibly talented rockstars that put on a show this weekend! Congratulations on a fantastic meet, ladies, and best of luck for the rest of the season! We’re your biggest fans!

This weekend, ASI Gymnastics is hosting our TGGA Party Like a Rockstar Meet at ASI Allen. Gymnasts from levels 1-3 will compete in four sessions on Saturday and three sessions on Sunday for a grand total of 481 athletes from 14 different gyms! The meet schedule can be found here.

“We love hosting these meets because they give our athletes an opportunity to show their parents, relatives, and friends what they’ve been working so hard on all year. I think there’s really something to be said for giving a kid a chance to get up in front of a judge and a crowd and get recognition for their hard work. I truly believe it teaches kids to be goal-oriented and to take pride in their work. Not to mention it’s a total blast, and the camaraderie teams build during meet season is unparalleled. Meets are a huge reason we love gymnastics so much!”
-Isis Pochciol, ASI Gymnastics Meet Director

January 25th and 26th marked another very successful meet weekend for ASI. On Saturday and Sunday, 402 girls participated in the TGGA “Lights, Camera, Action!” Meet at ASI Keller where there definitely were some shining stars! Results can be found here, and you can see pictures of the gymnasts’ beautiful routines (and all their goofy antics in between) on our Facebook page. The girls walked away with a great feeling of accomplishment, and hopes of coming back for their next meet with improved skills. The meet was a great success thanks to our awesome vendors: Bold BBQ and Wound Up Cafe!

On Sunday, 63 boys competed in the TGGA “Boys Blast Off” Meet at ASI Arlington. This was the first meet of the season for the boys, who competed in levels 1-5. While the scores were being verified at the end of each session, the boys competed in tripod and handstand contests, while their coaches competed in handstand and backflip contests. What a fun way to kick off meet season! Results can be found here, and pictures of the athletes, their coaches, and all of the fun can be found on our Facebook page.

Here’s looking forward to more incredible meets this season! Go Team ASI!!!
