This Recreational competition is intended to be low-stress and intended for first-time competitors. If you aren’t sure which to sign up for, check in with your kid’s coach! If they’re not on a coached team, this Youth Recreational Comp is definitely right for them.
If your child already competes in USAC-sanctioned events and wants to really test themselves, they may want to compete in the Citizen’s category aligned with their skill level instead of the Youth Recreational Comp.

- Log all your scores on Pebble (one Pebble judge needed as a witness)

Comp Etiquette

Here are some etiquette guidelines:
« Wait your turn and be courteous
« Be safe – don’t walk, run, or climb under others
« Don’t get frustrated, stay positive and have fun!
First time?
« Be sure to watch others for beta
« Pace yourself – remember it’s a timed event, not a race
« Don’t take it too seriously! Don’t be intimidated by the term “competition”
