Level 4 / 5 State Gymnastics Championships March 29th & 30th 2025

Welcome

    Erie Gymnastics Center / Team Lightning is PROUD to be the host for the Pennsylvania Level 4 & 5 State Gymnastics Championships.  We welcome the best in the State to Erie!

    Included on this webpage will be important information for Coaches & Parents concerning the State Championship. 

Note to Parents & Teams

Level 4 / 5 State Championship INFO!

Dear Coaches, Gymnasts, Parents & Gymnastics Fans,


   PLEASE READ THE SECTION & HEADERS on this website in that we will update THIS PAGE & the other Pages under this Header with Important Meet Details as they develop.   Check HERE for ALL Level 4/5 State Information (Schedule / Age Groups / Hotels...)  


*** Special Note About Schedule:   According to USAG & USAGPA Rules & Policies, Athletes have up until 2 weeks prior to the State Championship to 'Qualify' for the State Championships.  As a result, WE can NOT finalize a "Final Schedule" until we've received ALL Entries!  We mention this because we know and understand that Parents must make travel arrangements and/ or request off of work in advance, and would love to know the Times & Schedule as soon as possible.   Where this is often easily accomplished with competitions like 'Locals & Invitationals' where the Meet Director can put a limit on the number of entries, this is NOT the case for State Championships.   We ask your understanding in this, and politely ask you to refrain from calling our Gym and barking at our Office Staff.  This will not assist in getting the information any faster.  THANKS!!!

  

    We look forward to seeing you all here soon, and congratulate your child on qualifying to the Level 4/5 State Championships. 

    

Douglas & Tina Pershun

Things To Do...

I almost always have a good laugh every year we host a State Championship.  I think Eastern PA Teams are somewhat spoiled in that there are a lot of Meets & Gyms within 2 hours of Phili, and frequently many State Meets are hosted in that area.  I think that many people forget 'Erie' is up here in the North West Corner of PA, and we're sort of considered the 'attic' of PA.  We are PA's 3rd largest city - up here in the Great White North!

   For us, 'it's NOT a State Meet unless we have to drive 7 hours across the State.  We do so without a 2nd thought on the matter.  However, when we host a State Meet, my office will field calls like... "Does Erie have an Airport?"  Our answer is typically... "Yes, we DO!!!,  We even have 'lectricy & water comes right out the pipes... 'cept when it's cold of course!"   

   Yep, like your attic, there's some really cool & fun stuff to do up here in Erie.  I've created a page with links for varying interests.  Check out some of the things we have and enjoy your stay!!!
