Spokane Selected for 2019 USA Gymnastics Women's Level 9 Western Championships



For the second time in four years, USA Gymnastics has selected Spokane to host the Women's Level 9 Western Championships. After successfully hosting this same event in 2015, youth athletes from across the Western United States will once again be traveling to the Spokane Convention Center May 10-12, 2019 - along with their coaches, families and fans.

A strong local organizing committee is vital to executing this type of high-caliber event. Spokane Gymnastics, a local leader in the sport, and partner on previous gymnastic events, will partner once again with the Spokane Sports Commission.

In addition to developing local gymnastics community, this championship contributes to the local economy through tourism. Coming to this event are approximately 500 gymnasts as well as over 1,200 additional visitors - resulting in 1,500 overnight hotel room night stays. This adds up to an economic impact of $1.7 Million.

Along with the 2015 Level 9 Western Championships, Spokane also hosted the 2014 USA Gymnastics Elite Challenge in Trampoline and Tumbling. Learn more about USA Gymnastics at usagym.org.
