Daily tickets available at the door are $12 for adults, $8 for students and seniors (ages 5 and under free). A two-day pass is available for $20/$12.

Gym America owner and coach Claudia Kretschmer said the two-day event will feature gymnasts competing in Levels 2 through 10.

The marquee session at the Wolverine Classic takes place at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, as the Level 8-10 competition takes place. Some of the top gymnasts in the country will be competing, many of whom will be moving on to college teams in the next few years.
