STAGING INFORMATION

Staging is located at the back of the competition area and is only for athletes. There will be NO PARENTS ALLOWED IN STAGING. To allow more room for stretching, only 2 flights will be allowed in the Staging Area.  Athletes will check-in at the STAGING ENTRANCE, be told their seat number, and go stretch. This is a secure area and all adults in this area have had a background check and are safe sport certified.

 

Access to water is limited, so please send a water bottle with your athlete to both training and competition, if you feel they will need water while on the arena floor. There is no need to send your child to staging with anything other than their trampoline shoes or socks. FOOD IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE STAGING AREA. This is NOT a hangout area for the athletes.

 

Only athletes that are in the next 2 flights will be allowed in staging. (Example: Flight is competing, Flight B is in the chairs, Flight C is stretching). This is not a place for your kids to just hang out. Please help us with the task of keeping this area clear! More people in this area than necessary can make staging very difficult to stretch and line the athletes up. We appreciate your help in controlling this with your athletes.

 

There will be a large sign located at the staging entrance of the competition floor with the Flight letter that is allowed in the staging area. Please watch the sign and listen to the announcer for the flight coming onto the floor. Also, please be sure your child knows what event they are in staging for. Many times, athletes come to staging and do not know what event they are there for, so the staff must play process of elimination and look through the line-up sheets. It will help us to be more organized if you will tell them before they come to staging. If they are small, you can write it on their hand and ask them to show the staff in staging.

 

There will be NO food or open containers allowed in staging. Only water bottles/bottled water.

 

We run 72 athletes through our staging area every 20 minutes and our goal is to keep all areas as clean as possible.
