Hi all! I'm not sure where to post this so apologies if it's in the wrong area.

My boyfriend and I will be at Worlds, representing and visiting from England, but we're spending a few weeks around the US first for a bit of a holiday. I know you all will be busy with Worlds prep and stuff, but on the off chance that there's an open gym we would love to come and play! We'll be in New York and Washington DC before heading to Florida.

Please let us know if there's anything we could come to - would be great to meet you all! :)
 
Here's what I posted in the Newbie section with your other post:

I would Google cheer gyms in the major cities you will be visiting and e-mail them directly. I've visited gyms in Canada, the US and Europe while travelling to attend open gyms. Lots don't get back to me at all, but I usually hear from 1-2 with their open gym times.

Keep in mind too that many gyms are in full on Worlds mode and may not be offering time to open gyms/random people as they are focusing on their Worlds practices. Secondly, I've had more success with smaller gyms. For example, once while in Vegas, I e-mailed 4 gyms in the area. I heard from 3, all smaller, lesser known gyms. The only one I didn't hear from was the big well known gym.

I was also just in Florida, and thought to stop by a big name gym to pick up shirts/bows for my stunt group. Right on their website they stated that to buy merchandise, go to their online proshop (which didn't work for me, as I live in Canada and was only there on vacation). I think the big gyms may get so many requests for visits that they don't respond to the requests/offer them. I just want some tumble time on vacation, so I'm willing to go anywhere to stay in practice. All of the gyms I've been to have been wonderful and accommodating with me and allowing me tumble/open gym time.

As a last point, if you do get some times you can visit, take some pins/buttons/small gear to leave with the gym, if you have it. It's pretty cool to meet people, swap pins and see them on backpacks later at Worlds or other big competitions in the future.
 
Will you only be going to Orlando? And how far are you willing to go?
 
If you're going to New York, visit World Cup! There's open gyms all the time

I second World Cup if you go to New York, that's what my family did! Although that was in June so not sure if it's different in the run up to Worlds. Definitely give it a shot though, I had a great evening there!
