2019 Regional Petition Information

As we near our qualifying meets for Regional Championships we would like to remind everyone of the procedure to petition to a Regional Meet.

1.       The only two reasons for Regional petitions are illness or injury. Please do not send a petition for any other reason. They will not be accepted.

2.      The athlete must have a meet with a MINIMUM All Around score of 1.0 over the qualifying score of the Regional Meet.

3.      The petition must include the Illness/Injury Petition Form, which can be found in the “Forms” section of the Region 4 website, a copy of the results to verify 1.0 or more over the qualifying score, and a note from a LICENSED medical professional that verifies the injury, and the DATE that the athlete may return to activity.

4.      You must notify the appropriate person of your intent to petition by the end of Monday following the meet.

5.      You must get all paperwork listed in #3 to the appropriate person by the end of Wednesday following the meet.

6.      All JO petitions, 6 & 7 and 8-10, must be submitted to the RTC, Linda Thorberg – [email protected]. All Xcel Petitions must be submitted to the RXCC, Megan Robinson – [email protected].

Please contact the appropriate chair with any questions.

Thanks,

Linda Thorberg – Region 4 RTC

We would like to congratulate Greg Lafleur as our Contributor of the Year- Lifetime Achievement.

Greg LaFleur has dedicated a lifetime to the sport of gymnastics. His family was recognized at the 2011 USA Gymnastics Business Conference for their extraordinary accomplishments, contributions, and commitment to the sport of gymnastics.

Greg has generously volunteered many hours to our state of Wisconsin, Region 4, and USA Gymnastics. He served on the State Board, the National Elite Program Committee, has been a clinician at Region 4 Congress and National Congress. He has also been voted Wisconsin Coach of the Year multiple times for both the boys and girls. Greg has helped many gymnasts receive college scholarships and win National, and even International titles; including winning gold at the Jr. Pan Am games. But what stands out more than Greg’s accomplishments, is his kindness, generosity and lasting impressions he has on his gymnasts and coaching colleagues.

Thank you Greg for all you have done for the sport of gymnastics in Wisconsin!
