What to expect

  1. 1

    Friday: travel day

    We load the bus at 2 PM from the Hall County Gym. Chaperones ride with athletes. Families are welcome to drive separately and meet us at the hotel.

  2. 2

    Opening ceremony

    Every county marches in with its banner. It's loud, it's emotional, and it's the best part of the weekend.

  3. 3

    Divisioning

    Athletes compete against others of similar ability, so everyone has a real shot at the podium.

  4. 4

    Awards

    Medals for first through third, ribbons for fourth and beyond. Every athlete is announced by name.

  5. 5

    Sunday: home

    We're usually back at the gym by 6 PM. We'll text families when we're 30 minutes out.
