We’re getting back into the swing of things after a brief summer break.
Summer classes are now in session and we’re pumped! This is a great time of year for kids unfamiliar with gymnastics and tumbling to give it try! Summer is also a time that’s pivotal for established gymnasts and tumblers to learn new skills and routines.
Before we took our brief summer break, Gem City hosted the AAU Illinois State Trampoline & Tumbling Championship. It was a great time and our kids did an awesome job! We want to say a big Thank You to all the athletes, gyms, volunteers, and employees for making the meet a big success! We are now looking forward to the AAU Junior Olympic Games in Des Moines, Iowa, in July! Below you can find individual placements and scores.

Summer registration is in full swing and we can’t wait to feel that hot, hot sun.
Cheer tryouts will be Saturday, May 10, from 8:30 to 11:30.
There will also be one mandatory pre-tryout practice on Saturday, May 3, from 8:30 to 11:30. This practice is great in that it allows the girls to get comfortable with each other. It also introduces them to the type of tumbling, stunting, jumping, and dance the squad will be working toward.
Decatur, IL – Gem City’s Tumbling Team has two State Champions and nine athletes who qualified for Nationals on Sunday, April 27, at the USTA Southern Illinois State Championship. Athletes had to have a top ten finish to advance to nationals.
