Welcome to Costa Rica! The 2016 Region 5 All Star Trip began with a flight from Atlanta Georgia to San Jose, Costa Rica. We packed up the luggage to the roof (literally) and headed out on our 3 hour tour to Manuel Antonio on the pacific coast (expect we ran into a road block which extend that to 6 hours). The country is in its rain season so everything is very green. It was a day of travel but the experience is already memorable. Stay tuned for more from all week from Costa Rica
Uneven Bars in Region 5 is always strong with big releases and dismounts. Lead bar coach for camp Dave Marus, JPAC, wanted to take our bars to a new level and really focus in on the the little details in our gymnastics like the handstands in and out of skills as well as the total execution of the skills. Each group at camp went through a mini verification of 1/2 routines and combinations focusing on these two things while also competing in a friendly game of who did it better.
Region 5 Alums and current Michigan Wolverines Nicole Artz, Paige Zaziski, Olivia Karas and Lexi Funk answered questions from the High Tech and High Performance athletes on transitioning from club to college.
