Last weekend I went to Las Vegas for a gymnastics showcase. I went with three others from my gym. For those who do not know what a gymnastics showcase is, it's sort of like a meet. But not exactly. You get a leo thats a color that represents the year you will graduate so that the scouts from colleges know what year you graduate. All four of us that went had different leos because Hannabeth's a freshman, Natalie's a sophmore, I'm a junior, and the Hannah's is a senior. HB had a pink leo, Nat had a lime green, I had blue, and Hannah had purple. We all had to wear numbers on the back of ouor leos so that the colleges knew who they were watching.
Instead of competing and saluting judges, we just show off all the skills that we can do. The college scouts are not allowed to talk to us yet because then it would be breaking NCAA rules, so they just were walking around watching who they wanted to watch. But sunday was a little different. Instead of it being a showcase it was a clinic. That is when the scouts are allowed to teach us and help us learn new skills. But they still are not allowed to talk to us about coming to their college because that would be breaking NCAA rules.
The showcase was really fun. I saw a lot a good gymnasts that have been levels 10's for a couple of years now. So I'm kind of nervous about competing because I have to compete against girls that have been level 10's for like 3 years and I'm a first year level 10. It was a good experience seeing them though because I got to see girls that I will be competing against soon.
