To All Region 1 Parents,
Well here we go. Attached you should find the information needed
to reserve a room at this years host hotel. If you have
any possibility of qualifying to this years championships, please
reserve a room immediately. Remember you can always cancel if you
don't qualify. Please read Debbie's letter attached.
Last year, we had so many gymnasts at Level 5 and 6, we were only able
to let less that 50% of them qualify. This year, we have changed the
format of the event to allow many more young gymnasts the chance to qualify,
so if I were you, I would err on the side of optimism. We are bringing
in two full sets of equipment in order to shorten the sessions, but still
have more gymnasts qualify. Allowing as many young gymnasts to
experience an event of this caliber, we feel, is very motivational, and
has always been one of our top priorities.
As in the past, let me know if you have questions that your coaches
can't answer, and feel free to give this email your widest
distribution.
