Every effort is made to make each team’s schedule as convenient as possible. With multiple sessions for levels 4-8 it is usually possible to put a team’s sessions early in the weekend or late, which will keep your weekend short. A final schedule with maps, etc. will be emailed on or before December 15th. The Facility – The WSU Heskett Center gym has 5 full sized basketball courts, an indoor track and permanent bleachers. We use the 3 center courts for competition and a fourth court for 2 awards areas. Concessions and bathrooms are adjacent to the gym. It is a spacious and comfortable place to host a meet. The size of the facility allows us to run 2 sessions at once. We have hosted 26 meets, including 5 USAG Regional Championships, in this facility and have heard nothing but good comments from past participants. The Awards – We break large age groups into smaller age groups and give out many more awards than required by USAG. We give custom medals and every all-around champion in the meet will receive our ALL-AROUND CHAMPION grip bag with the meet logo and “All-around Champion” printed on it. These are really cool for the gymnasts, because if you have one, you’ve earned it. The Competition – The NYI has averaged over 1000 gymnasts for the last 6 years with many upper level gymnasts competing. Coaches Hospitality – PALS of Gymnastics keeps the coaches room stocked with food all weekend. They will have meals at mealtime and snacks the rest of the time. This room is close to the competition and will make the traditional “long weekend” very easy on coaches. FREE T-Shirts – Every gymnast entered in the NYI receives a FREE meet t-shirt. Coaches can purchase them for $9. See entry form.
