2026 WA Open Program

Dear Coaches, Athletes, and Families,

Welcome to the 2026 Washington Open! It is wonderful to see our gymnastics community come together once again to celebrate the sport we all love. This event continues to be a highlight of the season, and we’re honored to host so many talented gymnasts, dedicated coaches, and supportive families.

To the athletes:

Your hard work and passion are the heart of this weekend. Every routine represents countless hours of effort, resilience, and belief in yourself. We hope you embrace the challenge, celebrate your progress, and take pride in what you have achieved on your journey.

To the coaches and families:

Thank you for the encouragement, guidance, and support you provide every day. Gymnastics grows because of your commitment to helping young athletes succeed—not only as gymnasts, but as confident and capable individuals.

This meet has brought together clubs from across the western United States for decades. It has also remained the largest and most consistent fundraising event for the Washington Men’s Gymnastics Team since losing university funding in 1980. Every penny of profit goes directly toward supporting our team, and we are deeply grateful for your continued belief in our program and its mission.

As you watch and compete, we hope you feel inspired by the performances around you and by the community standing beside you. Let this weekend remind us of what is possible when we support one another, challenge ourselves, and compete with pride.

Thank you for being part of the 2026 Washington Open. We wish all athletes the very best and look forward to an exciting weekend of gymnastics and community.

With appreciation,
Trevor Ruggeri

Co-Head Coach
Washington Men’s Gymnastics
