The Sectionals and the Level 3/4 State Championships (both Fall and Spring) may be held in your home gyms. Sectionals may include other levels, however the State Championships must be Level 3 & 4 only. (no additional sessions)

Thank you in advance for your consideration in hosting one of these MO Meets!

Hello judges, coaches, gym owners,

As the year flies by I want to let you all know of an educational and CPE opportunity that MO-NAWGJ will be hosting this summer. We will be bringing in Laurie Reid for a clinic in Jefferson City, Missouri July 18-20, 2008. Laurie is a fantastic clinician that has been in and around the sport of gymnastics since 1970. She was on the committee that developed the current compulsory routines and was one of three choreographers for the current compulsory beam and floor routines. This should be and exciting learning opprotunity for anyone interested. Please save the date and plan on attending.

We will also be offering safety certification and the judges tests levels 5- 10. Deadline is June 18th. All are welcome to attend this event. Judges can receive up to 8 CPE credits for attending the clinic. Start planning now.

Thanks
Tracy Bradshaw MO co-SJD

Have a great month!
Kimberly A Fuchs
MO State Administrative Committee Chairman
