Hi Sally,

We wanted to express our support for considering a pit bar as next summer's project for the gym. You may have seen a recent Facebook post on the Planet group of Celia and Maggie (level 7 team) doing giants on the bars. However, the current method of moving Planet bars up and down for practice with this skill is a temporary solution at best. This limitation on bars not only affects the current level 7 team but XCEL Platinum, who has some gymnasts ready for giants, as well as several up and coming gymnasts on the various USAG and XCEL teams.

We recognize that a project such as installing a pit for bars is an involved one. In previous conversations, you have mentioned visiting other gyms and doing some preliminary research. With this in mind, and knowing a project like this can only be undertaken in the summer, we thought it best to reach out with encouragement and support well in advance.

We initiated this petition to gather signatures for support so you have an idea of the commitment of the gymnastics families behind you in this endeavor. Please keep us informed, and as always, thank you for creating such a warm and welcoming facility for our girls. We hope we can all stay here for many years to come.

Maribeth and Paul Sanabria
