There is a meet in March at West Chester University in West Chester, PA.

It is too late now, but a great Feb. meet is the Hugs & Kisses meet in Hershey, PA

We traveled from out of state to do Hugs & Kisses 2 seasons ago and were really disappointed. Competition was lacking and the venue is really out of the way- no where near the stuff folks from out of the area would want to see/do. I say this as someone who grew up in that area and moved away- no one wants to be told they are going to Hershey and wind up in Lebanon.

I also sent you a PM.

Our girls' team has been to Mr. Todd's Flipping into Spring a few times. It's small and in the host gym. They are doing optionals and XCel. Parents may not be thrilled with the venue because it's kind of hard to see, but the meet itself seemed well run from what I could tell.

Sorry for my delayed response to this thread, but thank you to all who have suggested meets!

I want to find a meet preferably in March or April. I have Xcel and JO optional kids, but no compulsories, so compulsory meet suggestions are no good. I'm currently looking into March Madness hosted by North Stars, but do you guys have any other suggestions for March or April meets in NJ, NY, CT, PA, DE, or MD?

Are you hoping for a big meet in an outside venue or a smaller one in the gym?

I would also say the Pink meet is very well-run and just a laid back meet! Some other big meets that are run well are Hill's Classic and Christmas on the Chesapeake, though they have already passed. Sportsplex invitational is personally my favorite. Very nice equipment, huge facility, balcony and stands to watch from. Although it is a slightly smaller meet in that less gyms attend.

Parkettes in PA is a major invitational. Also Temple meet.

Size doesn't matter to me, I'm fine with both. It does have to be a meet for both JO and Xcel, though.

Since Level 9/10/Xcel States for NY are mid-march...it's going to be hard to find competitions for that level in late March or April in NY.

March 11th-12th is the Flippin' Into Spring at Mr. Todd's as mentioned above. That meet closes fairly early since space is limited due to be hosted in a gym. Another option would be the GSA's Spring Graffiti, though that's also up in the Buffalo area so a lot further from NJ. I think the final option would be Elmira's Spring Fling.
