Region 6 Championships – Volunteers, Schedule Updates & Reminders

Dear Region 6,

As we approach the Region 6 Championships, I wanted to share a few important updates and reminders to help ensure a smooth and successful weekend for everyone.

Volunteers Needed

We are asking each gym to provide volunteers throughout the weekend, beginning with set-up on Friday at 8:00 AM through tear-down on Sunday evening. Volunteers will receive complimentary admission and a weekend wristband.

Please share the volunteer sign-up with your team families:https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C084BA9A823AAF8CF8-63125791-2026

A reminder that elite athletes are required to complete 6 volunteer hours (between Regionals and the Region Clinic) in order to be eligible for financial assistance. This financial assistance is available to athletes who are competing internationally in an unfunded capacity.

Schedule Updates

The most current block schedule is available on the Region 6 website: https://www.region6tnt.com/regionals

We are continuing to make thoughtful adjustments with the goal of minimizing conflicts and creating the best possible experience for athletes, coaches, and families.

A final schedule will be posted next week to reflect the most recent level changes and scratches. If you still need to submit any level changes or scratches, please do so using the change form on the Regionals tab of the website.

Training Access

Assigned Friday trainings are open to all registered athletes, regardless of level. Saturday evening training is available to all athletes who are scheduled to compete on Sunday. There is no admission fee to observe training; however, spectators must remain in the designated seating areas and are not permitted on the competition floor.

Athlete Report Time

Athletes should plan to report no earlier than 45 minutes prior to their scheduled session. Athletes will not have a formal sign-in process.

Coach Check-In

All coaches are required to report to coach check-in upon arrival, sign in, and present their USA Gymnastics membership card. Coaches will receive a “Coach” wristband, which will serve as your credentials for the entire weekend. Please ensure this is worn at all times while on-site.

Warm-Up Format (Levels 8+)

For Levels 8 and up (with the exception of Synchro), the 15-minute warm-up will be conducted in lieu of touches. Athletes will be marched onto the competition floor at the scheduled time of their flight and will begin their warm-up at that time. This is the same warm-up model being used at Nationals.

National Team Recognition

We will be recognizing National Team members at the beginning of Session 8 awards.

Refunds

All scratch and medical refunds will be processed via Stampli following the conclusion of the competition.

Sunday Tear-Down

Coaches and judges participating in the final session on Sunday are kindly asked to assist with equipment tear-down. With the group effort last year, most of the competition floor was cleared before awards even concluded—your continued support is greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for your cooperation and for helping make this event run smoothly. We are looking forward to a great weekend.

Best regards,

Liz
