NCBGA Graduating Seniors 2011/2012 Season

3/16/2012

Below is a consolidation of emails sent out by Heather Flores in regarding Regional Championships:

Hi Everyone,

Just a gentle reminder, under no circumstances should individual parents contact the meet hosts for L4 State Championships, L5/6 State Qualifier, or L5-10 State Championships (and even more so for Regionals!). Your club’s coach (or assigned parent club representative if that’s how your club runs) should be the single point of contact for parents to obtain information regarding these meets. Please ensure that your parents know this.

If the information needed is not in any of the emails I have sent out, the coach or his/her representative can drop me an email and I’ll get the information.

Thanks, Heather

Selection of Region 1 Teams
In keeping with a decision made by the Region 1 Board of Directors, the following process will be used to select the Level 10B, Level 10A, and Level 9 Teams that will represent us at the National Championships:

After the competition on Thursday and Friday, the top ten all-around finishers for all three groups will be invited to a Saturday morning clinic. At that time, the sizing and ordering of the uniforms will take place.

If one or more of the top six is not at the clinic, he/they will be replaced on the team with the next highest ranking gymnast/s at the clinic.

Being at that clinic insures their position on the Region 1 Select Team, and an invitation to the Region 1 Select Team Camp this summer.

If you think there is a chance that any of your gymnasts will make the team, they must be prepared to be there on Saturday morning.

Please email with any questions,
Heather

ps: Judges & Coaches,

The Skill Committee has just updated the NGJA/USAG Interpretations document dated March 6, 2012. You can find this new document on the NGJA website in the box titled “Latest NGJA News” [direct link for your convenience: http://www.ngja.org/images/stories/2009-2012/NGJA_docs/usag_2009-2012_interps_6-FinalBM.pdf]. As soon as possible, I would recommend that you update your files as we make our final push toward the 2012 Olympic Games.

Dan Bachman

CONGRATULATIONS TO THESE L5 and L6 athletes who have pre-qualified to L5-10 State Championships by meeting or exceeding the qualification score twice this season. They can be registered for L5-10 state championships but cannot compete at the L5/6 state qualifier. If you have already registered them for the qualifier, those meet fees will be refunded.

If you have an athlete that should be, but is not, on this list please email Heather Flores ASAP with the athlete’s name, club, and the two meets at which they have met the qualifying score (88.0 for L5 and 86.0 for L6).

Level 5

Level 6

Golden Bear will be conducting on-site registration for L5-10 State Championships at the L5/6 State Qualifier (those that qualify at the qualifier and any pre-qualified athletes of any level that you haven’t yet registered).

You must complete your registration by the conclusion of the state qualifier so please bring your completed registration form (you can cross off any that don’t qualify) and ONE check made out to UC Regents to cover the athlete and team fees and any pre-paid t-shirt orders. I’ll be there to help figure out how much you owe.

For those clubs with L7-10s and pre-qualified L5/6s who haven’t registered for L5-10 State Championships and will not be attending the L5/6 Qualifier, please send your registrations directly to Golden Bear now.

The registration form can be found at http://www.ncbga.com/wp-content/uploads/2012boys_state_meet_entry_form.pdf

[Important information to all] male gymnasts with in [our] club[s], as well as onto your largest email distribution list possible… This is a one of a kind gymnastic camp and should prove to be a great experience to all boys who attend, especially those who may not have qualified onto a State, Regional and/or National championship event this year, by giving them a taste of what a select team camp experience is all about.

This camp will also help benefit the development of Region One’s future Junior Olympic and Junior Elite Competitive Select Team and Camp Programs…, but it can only happen with the help of all within the Region One gymnastic community. So please take part in the launch of this one of a kind camp program…

To Your Success,
