Military, Fire, Police, Rescue Tickets

   Stars & Stripes was founded in the aftermath of 9/11.  It was 23 years ago when this terrible attack happened in our country.  We watched the Heroes emerge from that rubble.  Fire Fighters & Rescues Workers, Police, & EMTS were running up those buildings as they were coming down.    Shortly thereafter, our brave Military took the fight to the Terrorists who did this and continue that to this day.  WE DIDN'T FORGET!

   Interestingly enough, 20+ years later we found ourselves in a new crisis with this Pandemic.  Without missing a beat, a day off, our brave Police, Fire Fighters,  EMT's & Paramedics continued to be the Heroes of the Covid 19 Pandemic.  They went into homes, often ill equipped with proper PPD, at great risk to their own safety to respond to 911 calls.  Often times those calls were from ill persons with Covid 19 who needed immediate aid & transportation to the Hospitals.  Again, it is these brave people who participate in these fields who risk their lives to protect ours.


   With that said, if you are a current Police, Fire, Rescue, or Military worker, you are our guest and admitted FREE OF CHARGE!

   Please bring your proper ID (Badge/ Identification...) and you will be issued a special admission Ticket.

Awards

*  Individual Awards will follow each Session.

*  Awards go 50%

*  For most  Sessions, Awards will be in the Awards Rooms located immediately outside the Gyms.  Some may be held on the Competitive Floor immediately after their Flight.

*  Awards are typically distributed by 'Local Heroes' (Members of Local Fire, Police, Rescue, Military).  If you are a person who serves in one of these valiant careers and would like to assist, please feel free to jump in.  We appreciate your service! 

Ages Determination for Athletes

AGE GROUPS:  VERY IMPORTANT:  For Stars & Stripes, as is PA Rules,  we almost always use the last day of that Levels culminating Meet of the Season for our Age Determination.  Thus, we use Level 10 Nationals for 10's // Level 9 Eastern's for Level 9  //  Level 8 Regionals for 8's  //  Levels 3-7 and Xcel are governed by our State Pennsylvania.  I mention this - especially this year -- because Teams that come from other States may have different State dates than we have in PA.  The 2nd reason is that PA decided to cancel Level 8-10 States this season.  Level 3 - 7 & Xcel States were all moved into May.  So maybe you thought they were 11 years old for States before, but now they're still 10 years old.

Here are the dates for Age Determination for Stars...


MEN:  Age you will be as of...  5/31/24


WOMEN:

Level 10 - Age you will be as of.. 5/11/25 (L10 Nationals)

Level 9 -- Age you will be as of...  5/4/25 (L9 Eastern Nationals)

Level 8 -- Age you will be as of...  4/6/25 (L8 Regionals VII)
