Packing For A Meet?

[zoe_the_gymnast_]

My first meet is rapidly approaching-- but I don't know what to pack for the meet day! What do I put in my gym bag? Help!

Grips, wrist guards, tape, braces, any of that stuff if you need it. A water and maybe a snack. Basically anything you'd bring to normal practice and then maybe some extra hair ties and/or clips if you use those and hair spray or hair gel.

Start with the essentials (I don't know how many of these are applicable to you): grips, tiger paws, braces, floor music, warmups, team leo, and water.
Then other items you may need/want: extra hairspray, hair elastics, bobby pins, healthy & non-messy snacks, extra scrunchy, pen & notepad to write down scores (If you want to. Most people don't, but I like to put them in notes in my phone), a change of clothes for after the meet (if traveling), and any lucky charms you may have. I have a little coin with a gymnast & bible verse on it that I keep in my grip bag for practices & meets.
I'm sure I've forgotten a few things, but that'll give you an idea of where to start

I bring:

-a change of clothes (in case you go anywhere after the meet)

-extra hair stuff (hairspray, bun net, hair ties, pins, etc.)

-tape, prewrap, antibiotic cream, band aids, nail polish remover, Chapstick, etc.

And I think that's it! I keep my scores in my phone so I don't bring a notepad but I like to write them down.
