MEET SAFETY & COVID ERA ETIQUETTE WISCONSIN

Level 6-10 and Xcel State Meets Cancelled

ByJustin Slife

USA Gymnastics has cancelled all sanctions for the month of March.  All state meets held in March are cancelled.  This includes the Level 6-10 state meet and the Xcel state meet.  Decisions regrading refunds for state meets and whether Regionals will be held are currently being discussed.

Below is the letter from USA Gymnastics regarding this issue.

Dear USA Gymnastics Members,

Like many of you, we have become increasingly concerned with how the evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) situation could affect our community. Please know that the health and well-being of our athletes and community continues to be our organization’s top priority.

With that in mind, we have already limited travel for USA Gymnastics staff and national team athletes and staff, provided guidance from the CDC and WHO to our community, and urged our leaders and meet directors in each state and region to cancel events in areas of heightened concern.

Now, as we have learned more about how best to protect our community, we have made the decision to cancel USA Gymnastics’ events and event sanctions, at least through the end of March.

We recognize that this is a challenging time for our community, and that many of you will have questions about how this decision might impact postseason competition or your individual gym. Our program leadership teams are working to provide additional guidance and will be reaching out to you in the days and weeks to come.

While we know that disruptions and cancelations are not ideal, this decision was reached in service of our commitment to our community’s health and well-being. We appreciate your commitment to each other, and everyone’s efforts to make the best of this tough situation.

We will continue to monitor the situation and update our guidance as the situation evolves.

Sincerely,

Li Li Leung
President & CEO, USA Gymnastics

ByKathy Nelson

I hope everyone is staying healthy. 

We would like to welcome Tammy Donahue to the WI State board as an appointed contact/communication administrator. Here is the link from the July Meeting:  July SAC meeting.

Here is the 2020-21 WI Rules & Policies with an addendum for COVID.  The first page has an overview of the changes for the 2020-21 season.  There are also highlighted changes throughout the R&P that relate to this year only.
We looked at all the responses to the compulsory meet request email Randy and I sent out. All the clubs that responded received a meet.  I have created a calendar on the state website with the meets listed on it.  If you would like an optional meet added to the calendar, just email me. For the 2020-21 season, all meets of 2 or more clubs are considered qualifying meets  Please email Sarah Nelson for judges.   https://usagymwi.com/calendar/.  
I have updated  https://usagymwi.com/ .  Some of the things that have changed are below.

We will be using the 2019-20 USA Gymnastics active member and club email lists until October.  Please make sure your club email and person member emails are correct on USA Gymnastics because that is where I am getting my email lists from.

Thanks,
Kathy Nelson
