year 2: 2025/2026 season
Hello, Current and Future NECT Families from Tampa Youth Summit! A huge shoutout to our Wicked Emeralds who hit zero yesterday! We are so proud of them and their performance. The First NECT Youth Summit Team! As we prepare to send our Senior team to D2 and are still riding the Mini Black Pearls Wave, we couldn't be prouder of our first year!
We are so grateful you are considering our gym for your athlete’s full year experience for the 2025-2026 Season
As we enter year 2, we are excited for what is to come!
With this past year as our foundation, our theme this year is Year Two: Level Up
Whether that is in choreography and/or actual levels of Teams, our goal is to level up your athletes and the gym.
This year, we are fielding a Junior(flex)/Senior 3 (Rubies), a youth flex/junior flex 2 (Emeralds), mini/youth(flex) 1 (Pearls). This will depend on age and skill set of the athletes being evaluated.
We are also doing our choreography a little later this year (one week in August, Labor Day Weekend/Columbus Day Weekend). This will help solidify skill sets first, maximizing our use of choreography (and freeing up those summer weeks for other things)
We are offering crossover athletes a $0 crossover monthly tuition. This will maximize your athlete's ability to train and compete more. Please keep an open mind about teams, levels, and placements. Our goal is to build successful athletes. All Star is hard. Levels of teams do not define your athlete's skill set. Training in a gym as much as possible, on all skills, giving your athlete the opportunity to work on all positions needed on a mat, is the most valuable thing we can offer our athletes.
I have learned so much this year. All Star Elite is the best way to get your athlete to the next level. In all my years of coaching, there is nothing that compares to an Elite All Star athlete. I highly recommend your athlete cross over as much as you can.
For those of us who went through year one, what we saw in warm-ups and on the mats was that the athletes of NECT are more than capable of achieving the greatness required in All-Star. Truly, I cannot wait to get teams formed, build skills, and dominate this year.
