Women Region 8 New Compulsory Schedule

[twin2gymmie]

I'm just curious, with the change in Compulsory season, how will Level 4 and 5 compete after States in December? Do you continue to compete the same level after competing at States? Or do you just end meet season?

Usually depends on the gym. In region 1 some gyms move their kids up for spring season, some kids compete the level they did at states during spring season, and many gyms opt to not compete spring season at all.

I have not heard about this. Can you explain what the change is, please?

What change? Compulsories are still in Fall, as far as I can tell, and Spring meets have always been primarily optionals, with a few girls the compulsory levels if they're competing in Spring.

What was the change in Region 8?

If you're just referring to compulsories in fall and optionals in spring, then yeah, that's always been the case and is done differently by different gyms.

At our gym, the year girls compete 5 is a crazy year; a whole season of 7 immediately follows 5. I can hardly believe we lived to tell about it. My bank account is still recovering.

Other gyms around here go to 6 instead since that's so much like 5.

Most gyms do compete something in the spring though so they don't have a whole year and a half between competition seasons.

What was the change in Region 8?

It's a change for SC to be in line with other states in region 8. It's not a change for region 8.

I guess it is just SC getting in line with the rest of the region. Sorry for the confusion. But I am from South Carolina [emoji12]LOL

Ahhhh. LOL.

What is the change?

 

[SeaActually]

SC will compete compulsory in the Fall and optionals in the winter/spring. Compulsory state meet in early Dec and optionals same as usual.

Sounds like all we've ever done for JO compulsories, although they added JO state meets in the spring as well.

From what I heard this past season, TN had only one compulsory state meet (spring instead of fall). I know their fall state meet attendance had been shrinking over the last few years since they started offering the spring state meet.
