Dear Sports Acrobatics Members:

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2003 Sports Acrobatics National Championships. USA Gymnastics is hosting the Sports Acro National Championships in Jacksonville, FL from August 3-7, 2003. As always, we welcome all pair/groups who have met the qualification requirements and are competing at level 5 through Elite.

The event will be held at the Prime Osborn III Convention Center. The Prime Osborn is located downtown Jacksonville on Water Street. This is the same venue used for the 2000 Sports Acrobatics National Championships.

We are glad that you are visiting the Sports Acrobatics web page. Please come back often for updates on National Championships, athletes, events, technical information, and more.

The City of Jacksonville has already proven itself as a great place to host events. City officials have been extremely helpful in getting this event off the ground and running. Jacksonville has much to offer visitors, with its unique downtown area and nearby beaches. Also, this year we have another exciting event coinciding with National Championships. USA Gymnastics will be hosting the inaugural Freedom Cup, a prestigious international competition, just prior to National Championships. We encourage all Nationals participants and spectators to come see the thrilling competition between some of the best acrobats in the world.

As this year's event quickly approaches, USA Gymnastics and our Nationals Organizing Committee continues to prepare for another wonderful competition. We hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Carisa Laughon
Senior Program Director, Sports Acrobatics
