FOLLOWING USAG NYS COACHES MEMBERSHIP / BACKGROUND CHECKS HAVE NOT BEN COMPLETED AND CANNOT ATTEND USAG
SANCTIONED COMPETITIONS: This list is sent to the State Chair by the USAG NATIONAL OFFICE & Posted on our State Web Site,
so USAG Meet Directors know who id not a USAG Professional Member in good standing and NOT to let on the Competition Floor.
These individuals have received the notices from the USAG National Office. Without clearing their status, they CANNOT attend ANY sanctioned
USAG Competition. I hope this clears up the misunderstanding on where this action originates from.

Teresa Johnson (membership not current, background check not cleared, Lindsay Cooper (membership not current, background check not cleared) ,
Lauren Gresens (background check not cleared), Moses Venero (NOT A PROFESSIONAL MEMBER),
Nicole Maurer (membership exp. 11/08), Victoria Aarts (membership not current), Teresa Johnson (membership not current),
Lindsey Cooper (membership not current)
background not cleared simply means the company has not finished their search
THESE INDIVIDUALS ON THE COMPETITIVE FLOOR UNLESS THEY SHOW YOU A VALID USAG PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIP CARD

for me to scratch gymnasts than add them AFTER the deadline date.
