Dear Circus Vaulters ~~~~~~~       
As we approach our final meets… practice sessions…summer camps and summer Vault Festival Meets…. it is time to reflect and give thanks to all of our athletes and parents. The past. nine months of  skill learning.. sportsmanship development and a gracious attitude approach to our sport is truly inspiring to watch. Watching kids support each other….. watching kids never cutting corners in preparing…. watch kids. fight. thru a bad day and bouncing back is the. true. joys of sport.  You all have raised the torch here at Flying Circus.        

There are some things in this world that money can’t buy… and it is called character. Other kids watch you compete.  and watch you handle yourself.  How you keep your head up regardless of.  your performance..  How. you are humble in victory.  and. gracious in defeat.  These. are the real qualities that enrich us in athletics.  and teach us huge lessons. of life.        It is never about the trophy……… it is. about searching for. the best within us.        

Let’s. finish the last 6 weeks with a huge finish together.
