Camp Calendar Series: Twirl TEX 2022

 Hello Texas Twirl Fans!

In less than two weeks, Twirlers from all over Texas will either be in Lubbock for the NBTA Texas State Championships or in Oklahoma for the USTA Central Regional. So exciting! These events will be the last step on the way to Nationals for many twirlers, and for others it will be the grand finale to their season.

Regardless of which category you fall in, or even if you aren't attending the State Championships, everyone is beginning to think about what their next move will be once State is over. Will you be going full speed forward training for AYOP, USTA Nationals, or the AAU Junior Olympics? Will you begin learning new routines for the Fall? Or do you just want to take some of your skills to the next level? No matter which option might be the right one for you, this is where camp Twirl TEX comes in!

Not only will these instructors be leading classes and prep sessions, but they are all available for private lessons as well! Make sure to include any private lessons requests with your registration!


Camp Logistics: Camp will occur June 15th to17th from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, and June 18th from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. There is also a half day option (9:00 am to Noon or 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm). Cost is $290 for full day or $160 for half day. The full day camp includes a delicious lunch each day. The cost of camp also includes a t-shirt for twirlers to wear on the last day of camp for the parent show-off performance at Noon.

Each day of camp, twirlers will arrive in athletic/practice appropriate clothes and start the day with a group warm-up. They then will divide into 50 minutes long sessions rotating each hour to a new class. Lunch is served around Noon, and the day ends at 4:00 pm. Twirlers should bring with them their baton(s), twirling shoes, water, snacks, and a willingness to learn and try new things.

*NEW* for 2022: This year Twirl TEX is offering a wonderful Nationals Prep Program that will be run by former CMMOA Deb Herbster. This program will be a little different than other prep programs. Deb will work on goal planning & mental strategy, and the prep classes will meet with her in small groups  for three sessions each day based on their competition level for more focused attention. The objective of these sessions will be performing QUALITY routines with a focus on making proper corrections and giving assistance when needed, while also drilling big tricks and fine tuning skills. 

If this sounds like an amazing opportunity and you want to enroll your twirler, please visit www.twirltex.co. If you have any questions, email twirltex@gmail.com, or call Ashley Wood at 512-848-7426.
