May 2021 Newsletter

We are getting pumped for summer classes! We’ll have a SALE rack in the Pro Shop to kick things off when we return from break and we’ll have shirts back in stock.

There’s nothing better than new teammates! Gem City is also excited to welcome 14 new competitive members to our gymnastics team for next season and eight new competitive members for our tumbling team. We will also have our newly formed Senior and Youth All Star Cheer Squads!

Please also check out our policy changes effective Friday, June 11. As Illinois transitions to the BRIDGE TO PHASE 5, Gem City will change some of our policies during our summer session. Thank you for your patience with us these past 15 months. We could not have asked for better clientele during this unprecedented time in our history.
