My dd is competing in her first L4 meet the beginning of January. She is in a specially chosen group of girls that the coaches feel will do especially well in optionals, so their focus is more on conditioning and less on compulsories. Needless to say, this group does not tend to do great in L4 and sometimes not even in L5, but they tend to excel in optionals. This group is separated from the main L4 team and therefore tend to miss the comradarie of the team. I'm hoping to get some ideas from all the parents out there of ideas to build the team feeling more among these girls. I'm hoping for ideas of something they can do before their first meet to be fun and make them feel more like a team. My niece's team went to Build-A-Bear workshop and they all made a "Good Luck" bear that they carry in their gym backpacks. I'm looking for some other kinds of ideas like. Thanks!
