2012 Xcel State Meet Schedule
**Coming SOON**
2012 Xcel State Meet Results
Results will be posted as they become available . . .
In 2009, MGTC lost our wonderful coach and friend, Mary Steinke, to lung cancer. In her memory we held the first ever “Flip for a Cure at Mary’s Meet.” This is a 100 percent fundraiser for the Pardee Cancer Treatment Fund . Over the past two years we were able to give over $12,000 to this fund. The Pardee Cancer Treatment Fund assists families with financial hardships they might incur during cancer treatments.
The planning committee consists of MGTC coaches and the high school aged gymnasts. They will be having a variety of fundraisers before and during the meet. This fun meet will be held at MGTC so your family and friends can come and watch your awesome gymnastics!

Dear Prospective Sponsor,
Thank you for your interest in the Midland Gymnastic Booster Club Sponsorship program.
The MGBC will be hosting the Xcel State Meet April 28-29, 2012 at the Northwood University's Hach Student Center this year. We will be catering to over 500 gymnasts and their families from Michigan, who will attend this event, with a total exposure of 2000 plus people.
In April 2010, we hosted the Level 7 and Prep Opt State meet attracting some of the best young gymnasts from Michigan.
Promotion of our sponsors at events such as this are in the form of banners, signs, announcements and website links as outlined in our sponsorship levels below. Sponsorship is very beneficial for your business; sponsors receive exposure at a premier state-level event and continued year round exposure at our training facility, providing access to the families of over 500 gymnasts in recreational and competitive programs.
Your support will not only help the gymnasts at the Midland Gymnastics Training Center achieve many of their goals and dreams, but can provide valuable exposure for your business. Support of the MGBC enables local athletes to pursue excellence in gymnastics and is a tax-deductible contribution and you will directly benefit from the community image and visibility your company receives.
The MGBC is a non profit 501 © 3 organization made up of the parents of gymnasts at the Midland Gymnastics Training Center. The MGBC was created to promote growth and development of gymnastics in our community and provide financial support to help the gymnasts achieve their goals.
Thank you in advance for your consideration in helping to support our potential future Olympians

sponser_form_2012_new.pdf
· It may be a good idea to stay in a hotel the evening before a meet with an early start time. Especially in the Winter months!!
· Lay out everything you need the night before.
· Time how long it takes to get from your hotel to the gym/know the exact location of the gym.
· Double check Meet warm up time and meet start time. Check with your coach to find out how soon before the meet start time your gymnast should arrive. Usually 30 minutes before the scheduled warm up.
· Plan to arrive early with hair done and be ready to go. Changing facilities sometimes have lines so plan to arrive at the gym looking like an MGTC gymnast.
· Allow time for traffic hold ups or missed highway exits, have an alternate route planned in case of delays.
· The night before a meet, make sure your gymnast gets enough sleep and drinks plenty of water. Pasta is a good meal choice the night before a meet, avoid fried foods. For breakfast, cereal or bagels are good or non acidic fruits such as bananas, cantaloupes, grapes, and melon.
· Do not coach your gymnast on the way to the meet. It is best to have your daughter focus on "having a good time and doing her best." She is already nervous enough. Her coach will already have prepared her for this meet and will have some last things to say at the gym. Don't overload her with anything extra.
If you are nervous for her try not to show it – nerves can be infectious!
Gymnasts Bag Checklist
· Bag - labeled with name. Joanne Fabrics and Michaels sell stick on letters so you can add your daughters initials easily.
· Leo and warm up suit with name inside. (Warm up leo - if necessary - check with your gymnasts’ coach)
· Grips – Wrist Bands
· Hair bands, hairspray and/or gel, bobby pins .
· Water bottle with water or Gatorade - do not wait until you get to the meet and hope they have water there.
· Snack – healthy, non-messy/sticky snack in small resealable container. Suggestions: crackers, dry cereal, pretzels, carrots, grapes, etc.
· Flip flops
· Athletic tape
· Personal hygiene items
Parents Bag Checklist
· Camera (NO FLASH) & video camera
· Cash for Meet goodies or the new leo they simply MUST have! In addition to the food concessions, some gyms sell T-shirts and gymnastic pins.
· Nail polish remover – gymnasts are not allowed to wear nail polish on fingers or toes!
· Tylenol / Ibuprofen
· A book to read - it’s going to be a long day
· Stadium seat cushions to prevent bleacher butt!
· Entrance fees can vary from about $5.00 - $15.00 per person
· Once your gymnast enters the gym for a meet, they become the responsibility of the Coach.
· As soon as your gymnast arrives she should find her coach and check in.
· ‘Check in’ – find the check in table or room, each gymnast has a number, this is usually written on your gymnasts hand by staff or volunteers from the host gym.
· There is very little or no opportunity to contact your gymnast until the conclusion of the meet.
· Ask any questions before the meet, you should not try to signal or contact your gymnast or coach during the meet.
· Parents should not speak with or approach any judges at any time – if you meet one, treat them like a goddess!
· The gymnast will not be able to go and buy food or snacks during a meet. Make sure they have what they need in their bag.
· Meets normally last between 4 and 5 hours.
· Buy a program – they usually have a place to write the scores for your gymnast, things move quite fast, it helps to keep track of scores for the rest of the team too.
· Flash photography is prohibited during a meet. This is a safety issue.
· On arrival look for a seat with good visibility for each apparatus, but be prepared to move for a better view as the girls rotate to each event.
· Meets are often hot – dress in layers for comfort.
· ‘Walk in’ – Normally the gymnasts are introduced in teams as they walk in line on to the gym floor.
· Events & Rotation - There are four events in women’s gymnastics: vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise. Find out which event your team is starting on. Each team competes on one event at a time for example while MGTC is competing on bars, another team will be on beam and another on floor.
· Warm ups – depending on the meet style these may be done on each apparatus in turn prior to the meet start – or individually between rotations. The gymnasts will move with their coach from one piece of apparatus to the next.
· Judging and Scoring - The skills or moves incorporated into each gymnast’s routine (for each event) have a value, that when combined, lead to a “start value”. Start values are typically 10.0 or 9.9. Deductions are taken when skills or moves are not performed correctly (for instance, weak form, bobbles, and falls). A fall during a routine results in an automatic 0.5 deduction. The judge(s) score each event. At the end of each gymnast’s routine, the score is shown on a raised display board.
Cheering is encouraged, but coaching from the bleachers is not allowed. The best times to go crazy, sing, or flash signs are during change-overs between rotations, when all the gymnasts are on the move and on their pre-routine warm-ups as a group.
