The Judges’ Cup meet was started 11 years ago to help gymnasts start off the season with some helpful suggestions about their compulory routines from the judges. "We’d like to see more clubs support the Judges’ Cup meet in our state. It’s a great learning experience for the gymnasts that will help them throughout the season," commented State Chairman Norbert Bendixen. We do realize that it was earlier this year and will take that into consideration when planning for next year.
