We are a club gymnastics team open to any and all interested MIT Affiliates (students, faculty, staff/employees, and alumni) who would like to do gymnastics at MIT, no experience necessary.

We generally host two meets a season, and travel to compete in 4-6 meets per season (but competing is not mandatory). Additionally, each year the team travels to compete at NAIGC nationals (travel costs reimbursed relative to attendance over the course of the academic year). We have four superb coaches who are each in the gym one to two days a week, and many experienced gymnasts who can help you take your gymnastics to the next level.
