regionals

Does anyone know when the athletes will know what session they are in? I would like to buy airline tickets, but not sure what time we need to be there.

Hi, Does anyone know who the photographer was at Level 8 Regionals for Region 7? My husband's pictures were mediocre, at best. lol. Would love some good shots to add to a photo album. I've done an on-line search and nothing comes up. Thanks in advance!!!

I am so glad I worried for nothing about not having a coach. DDs HC arrived right on time and the meet went off without a hitch. DD had so much fun and even managed to grab a 4th place medal on bars. It's the first time she ever broke a 9 on bars and the first time she ever got to stand on the...

We are off to xcel regionals in Arizona today. DD competes Sunday and is incredibly excited. It has been a bumpy week as my hubby was in an accident that totaled our car. Luckily no one was hurt, we got a rental, and I am looking forward to relaxing away from my adult realty for the weekend and...

Okay, we are still dealing with compulsories so I don't know a lot about upper levels. What are the qualifications to go from regionals to sectionals (is that Eastern Championships?) We are region 8, and have a gymnast at level 9 regionals this weekend, so I'm curious about how they make it to...

I have been undergoing an education today, an education in how messed up the system for getting to NAT/NIT for L10's is. I now realise that many girls will be staying at home with 37's from R7, and the like, whilst girls from R2, and the like, will be going with 34's. This is just wrong in...

How are spots for NIT allocated? I know that the top 7 in each age group go to JO Nationals...then sometimes there are girls that go to compete for different regions based on need and how their age group placed last year at Nationals. I noticed that the number of NIT spots varied last year...

So, we got to our regional meet thsi weekend, and decided to go watch the 9s and 10s. When we got there, we had to pay for the gymnasts to get in and watch. Is this normal???? I was shocked. One kid came in as we were standing there, and they told him he had to pay. He said he had just...

Here! Excited to support a great gymnast from DD's gym! Also, SO excited to see some level 9 gymnastics.

Which regions have a level 7 regional where the girls have to qualify in some way to go? I can tell from a previous post that region 8 does. Region two has an invitational that is open to all L7 but is contemplating a "real" regional next year? What do the rest of the regions do?

Good luck to all of our boys competing in regionals this weekend!!!

So my L8 DD had state meet last weekend and after 4 years of disappointing state meets, finishing about in the middle (or sometimes lower half) and after 4 years of me saying "Next year will be your year," dd finally broke the streak! AA champ for her age group and made State Team! Any other...

Is there a way athletes can bypass regionals and be secured a spot in nationals? A school newspaper in our district had an article highlighting a gymnast in our school district. The article indicated she was going to be competing in Junior Olympic Nationals in May. We just finished states...

Are there petitions that are denied? If so, what is the basis of the denial? What type of injuries are acceptable and how severe must it be?

Hi, my son is a L6 gymnast...he competes as a 7 year old and this would be his first year to be able to go to regionals (Region 5). Some of the parents of older gymnasts have mentioned that in addition to a qualifying score, there is also an opportunity to qualify for the top 6 boys in each age...

How do you do it, why would you do it (US regionals)

I just bought tickets for the NCAA Regionals at LSU. We live in Texas, my husband is a huge OU fan, I like Texas A&M, but my DD decided a while back that LSU is her team! She even has an LSU backpack this year. LSU Gymnastics is currently ranked #1 in the nation, and their regionals are on...
