5.  Things to Do: 
There are many things to do in Erie.  We are less than a mile from Erie's Largest Mall Complex with hundreds of stores & restaurants.  We are less than 2 miles from Splash Lagoon (Erie's huge Indoor Water Park) which is a big hit with all of the teams.  We are only 15 minutes from Peak & Peak Ski Resort.  We are less than 4 miles to Presque Isle State Park which is beautiful in the winter and offers a chance to see the ice flows and much wildlife.  We also are the heart of Wine Country, with tours available every weekend.

6.  PA's Largest Flag:
 
We have the largest flag in PA, and one of the largest in the US as a beautiful backdrop for our event.  The meet is a patriotic tribute to those heroes born on 9/11 and those who continue to risk their lives to protect ours.  All Military, Firemen, Policemen, & Rescue Workers... are admitted FREE.

7.  Fast Awards

We have computerized electronic scoreboards.  The judges directly enter the scores, so we are done when they are done judging!  Our awards are out quickly and even though we give a lot of awards, the ceremony is quick. 

 8. Entertainment:

  Each year we have really cool national caliber entertainment while we calculate the scores.  It makes the time go faster and offers insight into what you can do with your gymnastics talents.  Our two performers from last year are currently on a 72 country tour!

9.  Coaches Hospitality:

We have an annual hospitality party for all the coaches and staffers.  We are sponsored by a local Winery and a Chocolate Factory.  You can celebrate your victories or drown in your defeats.  In either case a great time to be had!
10.  We are Fun People: 

We believe gymnastics is fun, and the whole purpose for participating and competing is for fun.  Even if you fall, you still can have some fun.  The teams we invite are fun, the coaches are fun, and the kids are a blast.  We have professional DJ's pumping up the crowds between rotations, acts, even the judges have been known to get into the action!  (We are sponsored by a local Winery- hehe)
