Aloha and welcome to the new NCBGA home.

After one year of hardheadness I, your humble webguru, finally gave in to the mass request to upgrade, simplify and… yes… get rid of the dog-on registration and login form!

DONE!

Now all the information is public and available to anyone, everyone, anywhere, everywhere.

Complete transparency as requested by a plethora of users.

In fact, ALL emails received and sent by yours truly are available for viewing (as comments added to applicable/pertinent posts).

Enjoy the new format.

We are now half-way through the regular season and Nor Cal athletes are looking great! The deadline to register your athletes has now passed, if coaches have ANY doubt on what levels your athletes are registered for, contact USAG immediately to confirm levels. I have to send in our numbers to the Regional Chairman to set the allottments for Regional Championships. The level USAG has is the level your athletes will be put into the allottment….meaning, that is the ONLY level they will be able to qualify to Regionals in. If your athlete competes in a different level than they are registered in at States then they will NOT be able to qualify to Regionals.

Levels 5,6 and 7 must obtain the qualifying score TWICE during the season to automatically qualify to States. All athletes who do not automatically qualify will compete at the State Qualifier on Sunday, March 21 at Redwood Empire Gymnastics.

All Level 4, 3A, 8, 9, and 10 automatically qualfy to States. Please send in your registration and fees to the appropriate State Hosts…
Level 4= CCGI info at www.iloveccgi.com registration deadline is Feb 18th.
Level 3A,8 ,9, 10= Redwood Empire Gymnastics

Nor Cal is scheduled to host Regional Championships in 2011. If your club is interested please contact me to go over the bid procudure ASAP.

Happy training and a healthy, successful season!
Michelle Huffman
NCBGA Chairman

To All,
Attached are the guidelines for our new level 3A for this year. If you are or will be a meet host, I will reiterate what was sent out earlier. Please include this level in your Region 1 events. It will be included in Region 1 State Championships, and in our Region 1 Regional Championships.
If you have any questions, please write or phone me.

Northern California Level 4 Preferred Meet Format

Philosophy

Level 4 gymnastics is designed to be an introductory level of gymnastics competition. It is our intention to host meets with a positive approach for the gymnasts. We want to encourage focus and  reward to be on each child’s efforts and development. In order to focus on a positive experience and reduce the gymnast to gymnast comparison, whenever technically possible, we will flash ONLY the color of the ribbon for the level each gymnast has achieved (see level and color designation below).  As there is no All-Around or Team Score in this level there will be no totals in these categories. (Note: The preceding Philosophy and following Ribbon Breakdowns should be printed in each meet program for the parents) » Read more: Level 4 Preferred Guidelines

Congratulations NorCal Athletes
