(Yes meets can be held on school days) Once arrive check in and find Magma coaches, athletes must stay with team until the event is done and support, followed by awards right after, expect 4 hours per competition meet time. Once done athletes return to parents for travel home. During the week of meets, training schedules are altered and gymnasts are assigned a ONE TOUCH, this is the last practice before the meet and quick, hence a one touch training.
6) Never contact the meet site directly always contact the Magma Meet Director John Min or your coach. Report times please be on time or 15 minutes early but no need to be earlier as venue won’t be open, if late check in and find team on floor, we will move that athlete to the last rotation. Competition is General warm up, followed by warmup and compete on each event in alphabetical order BARS, BEAM, FLOOR, VAULT (event start is random so you may be on any event first but the order stays same), with other team or Magma only squads. Some meets will have a separate training equipment and then move to compete elsewhere.
7) Awards are given to the top athletes placing based on age groups, designated by birthday of when states is assigned. Awards for vault, bars, beam, floor, all around, and team. Some meets will award the top half of qualifiers and ties are determined by highest individual scores. Team is the top three scores in each event totaled.
