Lindsay Gallego updates us on 4 meets hosted in Florida:
Dec. 30-31st ~ New Year’s Invite
Jan 27-29th ~ Sun & Surf
Feb 17-19th ~ Presidential Classic
Mar 2-4th ~ Tim Rand Invite
I find kids and parents are pretty excited to go to the beach that time of year.
New Year’s Invite – Dec 30-31 – at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. Disney is beautiful over the holidays. This is one of our smaller meets so is a great meet to “get the kinks out” and ease into the season while spending New Year’s at Disney. Competition will be on Friday and Saturday so families are able to travel on Sunday.
Sun & Surf Meet – Jan 27-29 – This is in Coral Springs, near Fort Lauderdale. 25 minutes from the beach and close to a huge shopping mall and other attractions.
Presidential Classic – Feb 17-19- This is our biggest event with both mens and womens competition. The meet is at the ESPN Sports Complex at Disney. Last year we had 1700 kids at the event.
Tim Rand Invite – March 2-4- This is our fastest growing event. We are having it for the first time this year at the Fort Lauderdale Beach Convention Center. The CC is nearby to the airport and the beach. This event also boasts a high level of competition at the optional levels. Something unique about this event is the athletes earn “twister bucks” at each event (for stuck landings, hit routines, powerful tumbling, etc). At the end of the meet we have shopping tables set up for the kids to spend their money. Also, $5 from each entry is donated to the Tim Rand Memorial Fund.
I want to thank these events for sponsoring GymnasticsCoaching.com. It’s much appreciated.
