Soon we’ll be swimming and frolicking in the summer heat, and that means two things at Gem City— air conditioning and summer classes! Our full summer schedule is available now.

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.
In a few short years, Gem City’s All Star Squad has went from an idea in Coach Hope Huff’s head to a competitive team at USASF‘s National Cheer Competitions. We’re looking for the next group of hard workers for the 2017-18 All Star Squad.
An informational meeting will be held at 7:00 pm on Thursday, April 13, 2017 in the lobby of Gem City Gymnastics & Tumbling.
Get ready for our Easter Pizza Fun Night on Saturday, April 8 from 6:30-9:30. We’ll have an Easter egg hunt in addition to the Gem City’s usual pizza, soda, candy, and fun!
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.
We’re already counting the days until summer at Gem City, and that means getting ready for summer classes, state meets, and cheer tryouts for next season’s Gem City squad!
