At Elevate the Stage, we are committed to providing high-quality meets that celebrate the skill, dedication and sportsmanship of all our participants. In particular, Toledo and its gymnastics community has championed this event for the past six years and we could not be more grateful for the meaningful relationships we’ve enjoyed there.

That said, we have made the difficult decision to cancel Elevate the Stage Toledo previously scheduled for February 14-16, 2025, in the Glass City Center.

This decision was not made lightly. We recognize the time, preparation and resources that athletes, coaches and families invest in these meets, and we share in your disappointment. Rest assured that we have explored all avenues to make this meet successful, however, the registration numbers didn’t support our primary goal of upholding our standards of excellence. In the end, we weren’t willing to compromise your experience at Elevate the Stage. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this decision may cause to each team's meet schedule and planning. Please know that this consideration was at the forefront of our decision-making process.

We are currently working to ensure that registration fees already paid will be fully and promptly refunded. Our team will be reaching out in the coming days to registered clubs who have submitted payment to confirm refund details. The sanction in USAG will be closed Tuesday morning, but we wanted to inform you all first. If you have any immediate questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at elevate@knighteady.com.

While we are disappointed that we will not be able to bring Elevate the Stage to Toledo this year, our host gym, Exceleration Gymnastics Center, is interested in potentially hosting a meet February 14 - 16, 2025 at their gym in Toledo.

Although not affiliated with Elevate the Stage or on podium, the meet would be USAG sanctioned and offer DP levels 1-10, Open and Xcel. Please complete the form here, by Friday, November 29, if you are interested in competing. Exceleration will be in touch if there is sufficient interest to move forward.

Elevate the Stage has a storied history in Toledo that would not be possible without your unwavering support. We’re grateful for your partnership, whether you’ve attended one of our meets or have attended for years. We have loved bringing Elevate the Stage to Toledo and remain excited about the future of Elevate the Stage. We hope you’ll stay connected with us and join us at a future meet!

Best,
Katie Evers, Sarah Smith, Maddie Hall on behalf of the Elevate the Stage Team
