What's NEW
NEW GYMNASTICS TV SERIES
The ABC Network is premiering a new series about gymnastics "Make It or Break It" on Monday, June 22, 2009 written by Holly Sorensen. 
Check your local schedule for times.
Expected times are: 
9:00 p.m. Eastern
8:00 p.m. Central

While we have no clue yet whether this will present our sport in a positive or negative light, all gymnastics enthusiasts will likely wish to see at least the premiere.  We expect more drama than gymnastics,  but have high hopes if not expectations.

Attaching some YouTube links for anyone who wants to see the "Teaser" and "First Look":

YouTube - 'Make It Or Break It' : Teaser

YouTube - 'Make It Or Break It' : The "Exclusive First Look" 
makes it look like a Stick It movie knockoff complete with

The show homepage on ABC Family web:
 Make It or Break It

There is no indication that any of the "stars" of the show have any significant high level gymnastics experience at all, except for: 
Cassie Scerbo ("Bring It On: In It to Win It")

You can tell just from looking that some of the other girls are not only not gymnasts, but not serious athletes of any kind. 

Other cast includes:
Chelsea Hobbs ("Lords of Dogtown") 
Josie Loren ("17 Again")
Ayla Kell ("CSI: Miami")
Peri Gilpin ("Frasier") 
Candace Cameron Bure ("Full House")
Zachary Burr Abel ("The Secret Life of the American Teenager")

No indication yet who the anonymous stunt gymnasts will be.

Holly Sorenson and Paul Stupin ("In Plain Sight") are the executive producers.

The pilot for "Make It or Break It" is directed by Steve Miner ("Wildfire," 
and "Dawson's Creek"). 
 
Coaches: Please read the memoriams below

Building Your Own Coaching Legacy

In Memoriam:Tim Rand
Memories of Tim Rand
Our friend has been taken from us too soon, but he has left all of us who knew him a legacy, both personal and gymnastics.  No one who knew him for very long remained unaffected. 
We encourage all friends, former Tumblebees, American Twisters and Durham Dynasty gymnasts to email us at TimRand@GymnasticsZone.com with their memories and pictures of Tim and his former gymnasts.
If you didn't know Tim and it is hard to believe anyone in the USA Gymnastics world did not, you still would be well advised to see the kind of legacy of memories that Tim left behind. Hopefully, it will help motivate you to work your hardest to leave a similar legacy.

In Memoriam: Kim Bird
