brief touch warm-up on bars, beam & floor competitive equipment to allow
any needed adjustments for the gymnast.
Bars, Beam & Floor rotations will move to their next event
simultaneously. Please instruct your
gymnasts to remain at their event until all competition is complete for that
rotation.
The complete warm-up and

A concession stand will be
available for participants and spectators desiring refreshments during the
