Level 7 Qualifier and Level 6-10 Critique Meet

Background


The Level 7 Qualifier Meet is hosted early in December. The top 6 Level 7's and one alternate are selected to represent NorCal at the  National Judges Cup which is held in various states each year.

The Critique Meet is hosted at the same time in different sessions after the Level 7 Qualifier. Level 6 through 10 gymnasts attend to get feedback from judges prior to the spring season.

At the Qualifier Meet, gymnasts can show skills, full routines,  or have coaches spot them. It is for feedback, not only for scores.

The Qualifier and Critique are hosted at different gyms throughout NorCal. It moves each year.

The funds raised from this meet are used to purchase the Level 7 team uniforms, pay for meet entry, pay for travel for the gymnast, and the coach.
