Parents Being a gym parent is not for the faint of heart

it may be referred to as regionals. i only know it as the Super 7 and All Star. and how you qualify to those two teams is completely different to how they qualify in the OP's state.
as a mom to a level 6, only in the gym world for 3 years, i am still learning the basics for the optional levels in our state. i did not think that it was considered regionals as they can't move on to nationals. i thought to be a regional meet one had to be able to move on to nationals. that's how it has come across to me.

Go to the region 6 website and you can see the explanation. Or the USAG website for MA should have something as well.

It is Regionals for your region, regardless of how they qualify.

In the USAG world (which you will come to know well over the years), "Nationals" only happen at Level 9 and Level 10. To make it more confusing, Level 9 Nationals are divided into Easterns and Westerns. The root of all of this is really a numbers game; by Level 9 and 10 the number of athletes remaining in the sport is small enough to enable a "National" meet for the two respective Levels. Each of these meets (Easterns, Westerns, and JO Nationals) is the culminating competition for that level for the season. For Level 7 and 8, the respective Regional meet is the culminating meet for each of those levels. Oh, and don't forget that Level 9 and 10 have regionals as well to determine the qualifiers to the respective national meet.

Good luck on your journey.

i know - it's all so confusing to me!!!!! i was trying to figure out level 9 states and how some could qualify to regionals as a specialist in only a couple of events. luckily i have this board to bring my cluelessness too. haha.

i looked and it explains it exactly how i said it.
i just didn't think it was regionals b/c they don't go on to nationals and it has always been referred to as the Super 7 and All Star teams. i swear someone even told me once they don't have regionals but have these two different teams instead.

i have so much to learn.
