Contest for Regional Apparel logo!  It was suggested to have a contest between all coaches and gymnasts in coming up with a quote and or logo for the back of the Regional T-shirts.  All entries must be submitted by February 15th.

 

Discussion of State Clinic this summer – It was decided that the state needed a clinic this summer and we are looking at the weekend of August 8th at Salem Gymnastics.  Mary, Mindy and Darlene volunteered to come up with an agenda and we will take suggestions from the membership to what topics will be covered at the clinic.  Please send any suggestions to:

The Agenda will be set by March 1st.

Discussion about Prep Opt Rules – Much discussion was given to the suggestion to allowing the cast squat on jump off the low bar as a dismount to the rookie levels.  The following motion was given after much discussion…

 

We understand that the confusion the new rules have caused, however, the board has been very careful in composing the rules for the season and they will remain as written until May of 2008.

Clarifications that were discussed:…

 

  • For Rookie level on vault, it is the Level 4 vault so therefore the minimum of the stack mat height will be 32 inches.

 

  • A manufactured junior springboard may be used, however if a gym would like to use one, it must be brought by them and allowed to be used by all gyms throughout the weekend.

 

  • Any cast (with hips returning to the bar) preceded or followed by any other skill is a separate skill.    Example – front hip circle, cast, cast, back hip circle is 4 skills.  Any other cast will be considered an extra swing.

 

  • Prep 1 bars  -2 giants performed on bars will fulfill the backward and free support requirements.
