Rancho Cordova to Host Golden State Gymnastics Meet

Did you know that Northern California produces some of the highest level gymnasts in the country? Whether you’re an avid gymnastics fan, or are just feel the spirit of the Olympics, you’ll want to stop by Technique Gymnastics this weekend for the Golden State Gymnastics Meet.

The meet will be a gymnastics competition like you would see at the Olympics and some of the gymnasts are even of that caliber and will be performing at an elite level. Gymnasts from Utah, Arizona, and Nevada will join the California gymnasts at one of the greatest gymnastics facilities in the area, located in Rancho Cordova at 11345 Folsom Blvd.

There will be two full days of competition. The highest level gymnasts will be competing Saturday evening. These are the gymnasts who are vying for top spots on a national level. There will also be awards ceremonies for outgoing seniors. One such gymnast, Alicia Asturias has a full scholarship to UC Berkeley this fall. As this is her last home meet, there will be a presentation recognizing her accomplishments even though she is recovering from a surgery that will leave her on crutches for the event.

In this competition, only girls will be competing in four different events; vaults, bar, balance beam, and floor. The gymnasts will be giving this meet all they have as this is the last practice meet before the state qualifier. There will be 400 to 500 hundred gymnasts competing over the course of the weekend in four sessions, each is expected to last between 3 and 4 hours. Gymnasts as young as 8 years old will be competing on Sunday and the older gymnasts will be competing on Saturday. The meet begins at 8 a.m. and will end around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday and 8:00 p.m. on Sunday.

Ticket prices are only $10 per person. Children and seniors may purchase discounted tickets for $6. If you are interested in attending the event, please see the Technique Gymnastics website or call (916) 635-7900.
