Competition schedule updates
There are session times and days for certain meets. Go to your team’s website and click on the competition link. All session times are tentative unless it says confirmed on your competition link.
Most competitions will charge an entry fee. If we know what the fee is, then we will post it on the team competition websites. Some accept cash only, others only credit cards, so it’s wise to have both options.
If you cannot attend a meet (in advance or at the last minute), please let us know ASAP. Please communicate through the Team App at the competitions.

Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities
We are looking for Team Volunteers for the following two Gymnastics League competitions:
General Updates
Athlete Pick Up
In an effort to keep your athletes safe, we ask that you walk them inside when you drop them off and walk them out when you pick them up. Thank you!
Secret Sibling
If you have a secret sibling gift you would like to have delivered at a meet, it will need to be turned in to the service desk at Pines by the Wednesday before the meet. Please do not bring Secret Sibling gifts to the competition venue to give to coaches, since there are a lot of details with coaching that they are focused on. Congratulatory gifts may also be given to your child’s Secret Sibling at the next normal training AFTER a meet 🙂
Training during meet weekends
We will offer normal training at Pines most weeks, even when we have a competition that weekend or, in a few cases this season, on a weekday. We will communicate in advance if there are any changes, but as a general rule, you can plan on Spokane Gymnastics providing normal training excluding the weeks of Christmas and New Years. Spokane Gymnastics is open all minor holidays, including Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and President’s Day. If you will miss training due to traveling to a meet, please schedule your make-up accordingly.
Team Pictures
If you have ordered team pictures and have not picked them up they are at the service desk. If you did not order pictures but would still like to, then please reach out to Tot Shots.
Team Open Gym
There are no more Team Open Gym’s during the meet season.
Jackets & Backpacks
Have arrived, and if you have not picked them up, they are at the Service Desk at Pines. Payments have not been ran and the $72 (before tax) will be ran on time of pickup.Team App

Practices Changes/Staff Meeting Nights
Staff Meeting Special Training
Spokane Gymnastics’ all-staff meeting is on the third Thursday of each month, therefore we will provide special 3-hour training from 4:00pm – 7:00pm on those nights. This only applies to Teams that are already scheduled to practice on Thursdays. USAGDP L2 will still have its normal training from 4pm – 6pm.
If the extended training works for you and your gymnast, then you do not need to register in advance, or do anything special besides packing an extra water bottle and snacks. Your athlete may simply show up at 4:00pm and plan to stay until 7:00pm. There is not any additional cost to attend the extra time on the third Thursday of each month.
Upcoming 3rd Thursdays:
December 19th, 2024
January 16th, 2025
February 20th, 2025
