This meet is quickly becoming a favorite, in our opinion! It’s nice to see teams we do not normally see, and have some competition at the first meet of the year. Getting a weekend trip up the Poconos isn’t a bad thing either. Our Level 3s had a great first meet, filled with lots of tough competition, but they were still able to hold their own. They even walked away with a 4th place team! Our Level 4 were on fire this meet! 4 out of 5 girls scored out for Level 5 and the team came in second place with a lot of competition. Our Level 6s are a dream team, coming in second place team and a lot of first place wins! Xcel Gold had a lot of competition but still managed to walk away with two first place wins and other places! Our Platinums had some tough competition but managed to score Brooklyn on Bars and Audrey on Beam. Xcel Diamonds KILLED their first meet, taking many first place wins, and even first place team!!

We couldn’t ask for a better experience or outcome for the Kippettes team as we competed in our first ever International competition! The Magical Classic was just that, magical. We competed against teams from UK, Canada, Bahamas, Barbados, Guatemala and some of the highest ranked teams in the U.S. It wasn’t just the high scores, great routines and individual wins that made this experience special,It was the sportsmanship shown throughout each session team to team getting to witness great gymnastics from across the word running around Universal Studios with the team sleepovers, dinners and all the team bonding among gymnasts, parents & coaches. We had 12 out of 23 gymnasts place at this meet!

      It’s truly never a normal year for the Kippettes. We started our competition season in November after an incredible 7 weeks of summer camp, for the first time since 2019. In January we got the news that our beloved gym would be out of service for at least six months starting in April. Thus began the hunt of finding a new training space.

     After 3 month of looking, we found the perfect place. The gym space is almost double the square foot as our previous gym, with a super high/open ceiling, has air conditioning, and in immaculate condition. Our incredible families and friends helped us move all the equipment into the new place, all in under 8 hours on a rainy day. We spent the following week putting the gym together, and none of it could’ve been possible without our amazing support from these families. 

     In spite of the challenges, the Kippettes pulled through once again with another great season filled with wonderful memories, victorious moments, new experiences and lots to be proud of. This was also the first year we introduced a Xcel Bronze and Silver team, 24 gymnasts first time experiences and competing within USAG. They had an incredible first season and made lots of amazing accomplishments and memories.
