What
We have a fully functional gymnastics facility with all six men's apparatuses and all four women's apparatuses. Our facility also contains numerous training apparatuses, including a tumbl-trak and tumble strip into a resi pit, a trampoline and a strap bar. Practice is generally self-directed, but 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. 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. Team members are expected to volunteer at our home meets, even if they aren't planning on competing.
