“All Star” Trip Info & Procedures
The Region 8 All-Star Trip is organized and funded by the Region 8 Committee and the TR Legends Fund each summer for our top National competitors. It is our way to recognize the best of the best in our eight States, while representing Region 8 AT the National Events! The destination for the trip differs each year but has been all around the United States. Additionally, we have been to Grand Cayman, Panama, MX, Costa Rica and Puerto Rico.
Region 8 reserves and funds the travel portion of the trip for the gymnasts, which includes flight, transportation while on the trip and hotel expenses. The rooms are quadruple occupancy and rooming is pre-assigned. Each gymnast is responsible for food, shopping and activities/excursions. Once on the trip, one full day will be dedicated to a cultural excursion. The Region will also set up and provide a training session or clinic at a local gym. All Star apparel will be provided by Region 8 for the gymnasts.
The trip will have a strict itinerary for the attending gymnasts and coaches to follow for the weekend (Thursday-Sunday).
The Region 8 All-Star Team will be comprised of:
6 - Level 9’s from Eastern Championships.
6 – Level 10’s from JO Nationals.
Level 9 Selection:
Any athlete(s) that place(s) first in the AA get(s) first priority.
If there are still spots available, the athlete(s) with the highest AA score(s) regardless of Age Group will make up the remainder of the team. In the case of an AA tie for the last spot,
the highest individual event score would break the tie.
