Approximately 300 trampoline and tumbling athletes will converge on Daytona Beach, Fla., for the 2013 Stars and Stripes Cup, Aug. 29-Sept. 1. The three-day event at the Ocean Center showcases the USA's best in men's and women's trampoline, tumbling, synchronized trampoline and double mini-trampoline and will serve as the final selection event for this year's World Championships and World Age Group Competition.
"Our trampoline and tumbling athletes are looking forward to returning to Daytona Beach," said Steve Penny, president of USA Gymnastics. "Our national team athletes enjoyed both the city and competitive success when the 2010 Pan American Championships were held there. The Stars and Stripes Cup features our top trampoline and tumbling gymnasts, and sports fans in the area will have the perfect opportunity to see these athletes as they vie for spots on the 2013 World Championships Team, the first stop on the journey to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil."
The local organizations assisting with the hosting and staging of the Stars and Stripes Cup are the Central Florida Sports Commission, the Daytona Beach Area Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Daytona Beach Ocean Center.
