Cascade Vaulters

I just updated the FAQ page with a couple of new questions including:

• Do perspective members need experience in vaulting or gymnastics before trying-out?
• How much does vaulting cost?

I also updated several of the existing questions. Please check out our FAQ page and let me know if you see anything that needs more explanation or otherwise needs fixing.

Congratulations to all our Cascade Vaulters as we participated in our very first competition. Not only did we act like a top-notch vaulting club, but in our new uniforms we also looked like a top-notch vaulting club. This was Anna's 1st competition and the first time Tami competed. Our parents also did a fantastic job supporting our participation.

The competition was hosted in Wilsonville, OR by the Flying Star Vaulters (an off-shoot of the Iron Mt. Vaulters). Other participating clubs included: Devonwood Vaulters, Emerald City Vaulters, Mt.Rainier Vaulters, Iron Mt. Vaulters, Son Rise Ranch Vaulters, and the Flying Star Vaulters.

Some photos are posted here.

The Cascade Vaulters have joined a composite "C" Team with the Mt. Rainier and Emerald City Vaulters, tentatively known as the "NW Ladies". Sandy is vaulting with the composite team, Tom is helping with the coaching, and Therese is helping with logistical support. The composite team has been practicing on Monday evenings in Buckley, WA.
