Comp Day Reminders
Meet Time
Arriving on time is crucial to ensure everything runs smoothly. Athletes will meet their coach, start with a short training session, and then head backstage for warm-up.
Meet Location
- Where: Outside the Convention Centre, under the freeway overpass near the escalators leading up to the Convention Centre. Look for the grass area (see 2 on map and videos below).
- Coaches: Look for staff in ‘Staff’ merchandise. Drop off your athlete with their Meet Coach and take a break until the performance!
Collecting Athletes - Youth & Junior Teams
After performing, teams will watch a replay, collect bags, and head to the Quay Centre’s main entrance. Parents must sign out their athlete with staff before leaving.
Spectator Seating
Sit together to cheer on our teams! Please do not save seats, as space is limited.

Etiquette
- Do not enter/exit during performances.

Award Presentations
We strongly recommend staying at the venue for the Awards Presentation. It’s an exciting moment for the athletes to celebrate their team’s results and take part in fun activities. Coaches will meet athletes in the Awards area. Athletes whose teams place will receive their medals on the day.
