Thank you!

Posted: 07.06.2010

 

Region 8 would like to thank Gary and Mendi Knisley and Upstate events for hosting Level 9 & 10 Regionals at Clemson University. We appreciate you going all out for our athletes!
 
Mississippi USA Gymnastics and Meet Control did a wonderful job hosting Level 7 and 8 Regionals. Fabulous site, wonderfully run competition! Great job Mississippi.
 
Level 7 & 8 Regionals was a “pink meet”. Region 8 mailed in $2,500.00 in donations from judges, coaches and parents to Susan G. Koman. The following was read during every session at the Level 7 & 8 Regionals:
 
Once again Region 8 USA Gymnastics is proud to sponsor the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Supporting this foundation financially is extremely important. Educating our female athletes about breast cancer is equally as important. Last year Region 8 donated over $1,000.00 to Susan G. Komen and this year we have $1,000.00 from our judges, $1,000.00 from South Carolina and GK Elite is donating a portion from the sales of the lovely leotards our athletes are wearing tonight went to this worthy cause. Your donations help create educational opportunities for our athletes and help in the battle for the cure for breast cancer hopefully during these athletes lifetime. Soon a gymnast will pass your way in the stands. This is your opportunity to help continue the fight.
 
We plan to continue this theme for Level 7 & 8 Regionals for 2011 and hope to raise more funds.
 
Region 8 would like to thank Southeastern Gymnastics and Piedmont Gymnastics Association for the great job they did hosting PREP Optional Regionals.
 
A big THANK YOU to TG Hawkins and John Williams for spending a sleepless night typesetting, printing and binding Region 8 Address Book for 2010-2011.

Dear Region 8 Professional Members:
 
Summer is here and a lot of Regional Events are fast approaching. Our three Training Camps and our annual “All-Star” Trip are right around the corner. The Region 8 camp system will once again begin in July and include the following camp experiences:
 
 
 
# 1 = Level 7 & 8 Training Camp – July 23-25, 2010 at Tampa Bay Turners in St. Pete, FL
 
Qualifiers:
 
ALL Level 7 & 8 Regional Qualifiers.
 
# 2 = “R 8 Nationals Team” Training Camp – September 10-12, 2010
at Gymnastics Academy of Atlanta in GA.
 
Qualifiers:
 
All L 9 and 10 athletes that qualified to the previous year’s Eastern/National Meet
ALL NIT athletes from the previous year
All active elite athletes
 
# 3 = “L 8, 9, 10 Regional Training Camp” - October 8-10, 2010 at ACE Gymnastics in Orlando
 
Qualifiers:
 
All L 8, 9 and 10 athletes that qualified to the previous year’s Regional Championship meet or above.
 
I am confident that the camp system will once again provide the ultimate training and learning opportunities for our athletes, coaches and judges alike to help take Region 8 to the next level. With that said however, the training camps cannot be a success without the support of our clubs. I would ask that every club that qualified athletes to Level 8-10 Regional Championships be a part of at least one of the three camps as all of the funds raised go directly back to our athletes and coaches for apparel and our “All-Star” trip. Please do your part.
 
 
 
Region 8 is also gearing up for our fourth annual “All-Star” team trip to be hosted on the weekend of July 29 - August 1 in New York City at the wonderful Chelsea Piers Training Center. I will give everyone a full report on the team and how the trip went when we return. As a reminder, the following is how the team was selected.
 
The top six – L 9’s (plus ties) and the top six – L 10’s (plus ties) from Eastern/National Championships will make up the team. The team is chosen as follows:
Any athlete(s) that place first in the AA get first priority.
Any athlete(s) that place second in the AA fill any remaining spots.
Any athlete(s) that place third in the AA fill any remaining spots.
If there are still spots available the athlete(s) with the highest AA score regardless of Age Group will make up the remainder of the team.
 
 
Due to NCAA regulations Graduating Seniors are ineligible for the trip.
 
Finally, I would like to thank Toni Rand and the Tim Rand Memorial Fund for paying for all of R 8’s - Level 10’s entries in to Nationals and for our L 9 Apparel gift. Your generosity is truly appreciated! Also – congratulations to all of the coaches of our Eastern and National Champions from Region 8. You are truly the pride our Region.
 
 
Thanks a lot and GO Region 8 –
 
Brad Harris
Region 8 Junior Olympic Committee Chairman
