DATES FOR 2010-2011 COMPETITIVE SEASON

NC-USA GYMNASTICS WOMENS’ PROGRAM

Please submit invitational and State Meet bids by May 26^th.  Form is located on next page.

The following dates are important to the 2010-2011 Women’s’ Competitive JO season.:

Notice that no date has been set for any of the Prep State Meets.

·        The weekend(s) to be used will either be the week of March 18^th and/or April 1^st.

·        Because the Board has not voted on the format for our 2011 Prep rules (adopt whatever the Region presents or stay with North Carolina’s) it was decided that picking  one or two state meet dates would be putting the cart before the horse.

·        The NC Board is also considering putting all Prep levels in one State Meet on one weekend.

·        The Regional Board will have a better understanding for the Regional format after the May 21^st weekend.  Its final vote will be taken at Regional Congress in Atlanta, June 15^th.

Declaration dates for gymnast’s competitive level will be on the last qualifying date for each level. 

A gymnast may ‘tinker’ with competing between two consecutive levels during the season, but must have qualified for the state meet that she wishes to enter by the last qualifying date.  May qualify for Level 5, try a meet or two at Level 6, but decides she wants to go to Level 5 State Meet.  She must re-qualify for the Level 5 by the declaration date.
