Andrew from Alamo Gymnastics Center asks us this question:
Every year we search for a fun meet early in the year to take the entire team too. Would you please start a topic of “best meets you’ve gone to, and why” to give us some more ideas of good meets? Here are some of my favs and why:
Hard Rock Invitational – Mesa, Arizona (Team awards is a real Fender electric guitar!!! Individual AA gets Hard Rock Jackets, Live band during the event, after event party) Mary Lou Invitational – Houston, TX (Individual AA gets IPod, Team money awards, guys and girls sides, Olympians everywhere) Lady Luck – Las Vegas, NV (Vegas, college meet included, meet site is a casino)
My own favourite meet is the Great West Gym Fest in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. It’s the best by far, overall, of any meet I’ve seen anywhere. The awards system is particularly outstanding.
Only once have I attended Chicago Style. But The Largest Women’s Gymnastics Invitational Meet in the World is highly recommended!
Seems to me the early season meet in Cancun, Mexico is hot right now. It’s called the Cajun Classic, hosted in early January.
What are your favourite meets? Especially early season meets?
No need to limit those to the USA. They could be anywhere in the world. Leave a comment.
