Summer Showcase and Vaulting Camp

Does vaulting camp sound fun to you?!

We have something planned for all ages!

August 4th-7th.

Ask your coach for details!

The Summer Showcase will be held the last day of camp

August 7th. Don't forget to invite all your family and friends!

See you there!

Upcoming Parades

Here is the info about our upcoming parades for the month of July.

Provo Freedom Festival Parade: Monday July 5th. Around 8:00 am. Time and location will be announced as soon as I find out.

Nephi Ute Stampede Parade: Friday July 16th. We will meet at 3:00 pm at the Nephi City park. If you want to stay for the rodeo tickets are $11.

Spanish Fork Fiesta Days Parade: Saturday July 24th. Around 8:00 am. Exact time and location will be announced. We usually meet up near the Diamond Fork Jr. High.

We will continue to wear the same thing for each parade. Black leggings, ivault tshirt, black undershirt, hair pulled back, and black shoes. If your child is under the age of 5-4, it would be nice if you could tag along and ride our float with us.

A few new rules that I have for the next parade. No vaulter under the age of 12 will be allowed to walk beside the trailer. Our last parade got a little hectic with so many little ones by the truck and trailer tires. Just trying to keep everyone as safe as possible. And as always, no one under the age of 18 will be able to ride either of the horses in the parade. Just another safety and insurance issue.

Thanks for your understanding and let me know if you have any questions! Remember we would love to have ALL vaulters participate in any of our parades, just let your coach know which one you will be able to attend, so they can prepare routines accordingly.

Thanks again,

KyLynn

Vaulters, their parents, and any siblings can come. We will have potluck snacks, a white elephant (gifts under five dollars would be great), games for the kids, and a vaulting movie.

The address of our house is as follows.

Woodland Hills.

It is a cream stucco house w/Christmas wreaths on two lights surrounding a two car garage.

AVA Membership Renewal

Membership Renewal Time -- Early Birds Claim a Great Gift!

The AVA is offering two new types of memberships: $15 for recreational vaulters who would like to join and enjoy membership benefits, and $25 for a 5-year membership for friends who would like to support vaulting. What a great idea for parents to help support Oak Hills Vaulters through the AVA for the next FIVE YEARS! The $15 Recreational fee is also a great way for non-competitive students to still enjoy the benefits of becoming an AVA member for such a cheap price!!

Both of these membership types I would HIGHLY consider.

New members who sign up between October 1 and Dec. 31 of any calendar year are members for the remainder of that year, AND for the following year. In addition, you will receive a special early registration thank you gift from the AVA -- If this is you, click here


Renewing Members: Click here if you were an AVA member previously, and are renewing your membership for 2010. Renewing members who sign up between October 1 and Dec. 31 of any calendar year are members for the remainder of that year, AND for the following year. In addition, you will receive a special early registration thank you gift from the AVA.

Remember: All vaulters, parents, loungers, etc who join before December 31st will receive a free gift from the AVA. In the past this has included vaulting stickers, an AVA promotional DVD, post cards, and more!

If you are planning on medal testing, or attending any kind of AVA event I highly recommend you get this taken care of now!

Let me know if you have any questions :]

Summer Showcase

Equestrian Vaulting

Oak Hills Vaulters Summer Showcase

Saturday, September 26th, is the day to see a spectator sport more suited to the circus. The Oak Hills Vaulters are presenting their annual Summer Showcase at their indoor barn in Salem, UT from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

For those who are not familiar with equestrian vaulting, it is a combination of dance and gymnastics performed singly, in doubles or in triples, on the back of a moving horse. The athletes pose, jump, twist and groove in rhythm on a horse to a variety of music while the horse walks, trots or canters in a circle. This fun performance is a joy for all ages. Watching the vaulters perform their routines on the horses is something you won't want to miss. Lovers of dance and lovers of horses will especially be enthralled.

The Summer Showcase is free to the public. Drinks and snacks will be available before the show starts.

Head coach Kylynn Warren has been with the team since she was old enough to walk and has seen it grow from a handful of students to over 45 vaulters.

Vaulting is an international competition sport with only two teams in the state of Utah. The Oak Hills Vaulters have competed in regional and national competitions for over eight years.

The vaulters range in age from three years old to adult.

The barn is located at 1435 E. 900 S. in Salem, UT. (Take Spanish Fork Main St. south, turn east towards Woodland Hills.)

Check out their website at: www.oakhillsvaulters.com .

To contact Kylynn Warren, call 801-836-0799.

Latest Email Sent Out:

Hello All!

Just a few reminders about the summer showcase on September 26th. The performance will start at 6:00pm, However ALL vaulters need to arrive no later than 4:30 pm for one extra practice. Spectators may start arriving to set up chairs as early as 5:30 pm.

Advertise:

I have attached a flyer for you to email out to all your friends or to print off and post around your town! Please please please help up advertise this event as much as possible! Hang flyers in your school, local gas stations, grocery stores, etc. If you have the ability to print larger poster size, or regular size nice, good quality, colored copies for a donation to our club, please let me know asap. We can also provide a tax write off for your donation if need be.

What to Wear:

All Vaulters will be required to wear black capri leggings or vaulting pants, black sock, and black vaulting shoes. We will also be wearing our ivault shirts if you have purchased one. If you have not purchased an ivault shirt, and do not plan to, no worries! Just have your vaulter wear a SOLID, BRIGHT colored tshirt that is one of the following colors: Hot Pink, Yellow, Green, Red, or Orange. All vaulters are also required to wear a black tank top, tshirt, or unitard under their colored tshirt. This black shirt will need to be tucked into the vaulters pants to help prevent midriffs from showing. If you have any questions about what your vaulter needs to wear, please let me know.

Program:

I have attached a ROUGH DRAFT file of the program. I will probably be changing orders/horses around etc. I just need you to check and make sure you vaulter IS ON the program, as well as check to see if I have all spelling correct. Like I said, this is just a rough draft so please help me to correct any errors you may find. If you know someone who would like to be a sponsor of this event please let me know as well. Donations as small as $25 will get their company name on the back of our program, as well as an announcement during our show. Larger donations have the opportunity to make it on our flyer, as well as hanging their company banner in the arena during our performance.

Concessions Stand:

I was thinking of having a 'bake sale' for this year's concession stand during our performance. If you would be willing to donate cookies, peanut butter bars, cupcakes, ect to our stand, please let me know. Also, if you are able to help out with running our concessions stand either before or during intermission, please let me know as well. We will also be selling drinks and the remainder of our ivault shirts in the concessions as well. We want to try our best to make this an easy/high profit stand so if you have any suggestions I am more than open to any ideas you may have!

Other Items of Business:

Tshirts: We still have plenty of tshirts in most colors/sizes for sale! If you did not receive yours, talk to your coach about it during class!

Payson Parade: Unfortunately we did not make the deadline to be in this year's Payson Parade...So I hope you all have a fun Labor Day Weekend!!

Vegas: If you are planning on going, please get back to me as soon as possible so I can get everything entered without to much stress near the end of the month. I would like to start at least entering horses and vaulters into the online system.

You are responsible for letting me know which class numbers you would like to participate in so I can enter you in the online entry system. Please do this as soon as possible if you know that you are already going.

All USEF classes (Bronze and higher) will be held on Sunday this year, leaving Copper, Trot, Walk, and Barrel classes for Saturday.

State Fair: Our Demo team was scheduled to perform at the State Fair, Thursday Sept. 10th. However, after talking it over with the fair committee, it has been decided that with it being the very first day of the fair we would not really have a crowd this year. Considering we would all have to leave school early, drive to SLC, and be ready to perform by 4:00; it isn't really worth our trip this year. The committee has promised us a better time slot for next years fair.

Thank you so much for all of your support and patience in helping to make our vaulting program wonderful!

Happy Vaulting!

KyLynn
