Meet Etiquette

Meet Etiquette for Gymnasts

 

  • Please make sure you leave plenty of time to get to the competition site, find the gym and report to your coach ON TIME. It's very important that you are on time and you are dressed and ready to warm up.
 
  • Make sure your hair is pulled back neatly and securely. If you require a coach's assistance with this, make sure you arrive early before your warm-up time starts.  
 
  • Jewelry (other than single stud earrings) is not permitted.
 
  • Upon arrival at a competition, you should be dressed in your competition attire with your warm-ups on. You should keep your team bag with you. All belongings unrelated to the competition should be left with your parent/guardian. 
 
  • We expect all team athletes to cheer on your teammates. You must remain until the entire awards ceremony is complete.
 
  • You and your family are not expected to stay for all levels, just the level you are competing in.

Meet Etiquette for Parents
 
  • It is the parent’s responsibility to make sure your gymnast is on time to the competition. It is the responsibility of each individual gymnast’s family to make and pay for travel, hotel and meal arrangements for all competitions. 
 
  • Some larger meets will charge admission fees. You will be notified of this well before the competition.
 
  • Family members are NOT allowed in warm up areas or on the competition floor – the team may receive a deduction if this rule is not followed.
 
  • We ask that all parents show TEAM SPIRIT by sitting together and cheering on all the Tumbling Tigers athletes!
 
  • Each meet teaches your gymnast more about their abilities as a gymnast, competitor, and human being, which is essential for success at higher levels of competition and life in general. Regardless of the outcome of a routine or overall competition, each gymnast is expected to be supportive of other teammates and be gentle with themselves. This is a time for personal growth, regardless of scores and placements. 
 
A Note to Parents: It is okay for your child to be upset and to struggle. You can be supportive without “coming to the rescue.” Failure is an important teaching mechanism. Talking through feelings is more effective than immediately searching for ways to cheer up your gymnast after a tough competition.
