Before the 2017-2018 competition seasons for gymnastics, tumbling, and all star cheer gets too busy, Shelly Kraemer of SK Photography took team photos. She has taken Gem City’s photos for the last six years.
We had so much fun celebrating National Gymnastics Day last week at Gem City! Whether it’s teaching a cartwheel or a double-back dismount off of bars, our coaches love this sport and are thankful you let them teach you all about gymnastics and tumbling.
We often hear: “I wish I would have done gymnastics as a kid.” But an active lifestyle shouldn’t stop because you’re not a child anymore.
Anna Hinton is the winner of our Good Grades Drawing for the final quarter of the 2016-2017 school year! She’ll be a 7th grader at Keokuk Middle School in the fall.
Summer is a time for new adventures, and you can make Adult Gymnastics your fun out-of-the-box activity! You can build strength, learn new skills, and have fun. Gem City offers Adult Gymnastics every Wednesday from 7:15-8:30 this summer. It’s $9 per time and there’s no time commitment or previous experience required.
Congrats Haley Woodward, Ava Winking, and Abigail Barnes!
Several of Gem City’s Level 7 gymnasts have earned a spot to compete at the Regionals in Michigan on April 21-23.
It’s State Meet season! With Level 4 and 7 State Competitions completed, it’s time for our level 3 and level 5 gymnasts to compete! DeKalb, Illinois, will host the Level 3 and Level 5 USAG State Championships from March 31 to April 2.
It’s been a great meet season for our Level 4 and Level 7 gymnastics teams! They are coached by Jacob Huff, Hope Huff, Kiki Backoff, and Cameron Shreve. The coaches love all the fun and hard work these athletes put in, and the effort has paid off- several athletes qualified for the Level 4 & 7 State competitions.
These athletes have to be strong, but their minds need to be even stronger. Training in gymnastics often means working through times when you can’t see your progress. We’re proud of the hard work each athlete has put into their own talent and growth during the year.
