All-Star When Does Your Gym Start Competing For Season?

[cf2262]

Wondering if some of you could post when your gym starts competing for season. It seems some of the bigger gyms start in Oct/Nov, but then I have talked to parents from gyms that do not start competitions until mid-January. Wondering what effect that has on how your teams do (out early vs. out later) and when they peak during the season.

Rockstar's first competition is Jan. 19th

 

[Hi! It's me!]

We start in November and I like it. The competitions are spread out so that there are no back to back to back. Plus November is low key and a chance to shake the nerves out before the big comps start.

October 27.

I wouldn't like waiting until January to compete! In IL most teams compete October-March (or very, very early April) so not starting until January would cut comp season in half pretty much.
