Kids would never get sick and never have to miss school or their gymnastics classes in an ideal world, but cold weather tends to bring sniffles, sneezes, runny noses, and fevers. This means there’s no shortage of sharing these germs back and forth.
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.
Gem City has teamed up with Quanada again this winter season to collect lightly-used coats, hats, gloves, and other winter outerwear items during November and December.
The first quarter got off to a great start with a wave of A’s coming in for Gem City’s Good Grades Quarterly Drawing! Keep up the good work, athletes.
Prepare your spring frollicking skills and sign up for one of Gem City’s kinder gem, gymnastics, tumbling, or cheer classes. Our full Spring 2017 schedule is now available.
Along with the crisp temperatures, our November newsletter is here.
Our Winter Wonderland Pizza Fun Night is on Friday, December 8 from 6:30-9:30 pm. ($13 members, $16 non-members; ages 4+). These events are a great opportunity for kids to play games, have open gym time, eat pizza, drink soda, and have fun with their friends! Gem City’s Pizza Fun Nights have been a staple in Quincy for years. Parents love the events for a few simple reasons.
Gem City is excited to offer skill clinics this November! Skill clinics are one-hour group sessions focusing on a specific skill or set of skills for just $20 for each clinic.
Clinics are a great setting for learning because of the singular focus on technique and the variety of coaching voices that get to be heard. It’s not uncommon for athletes to pick up skills they’ve been working on just because a new face is working with them in a slightly different way.
Welcome to Fall at Gem City—new cartwheels are being perfected, our Halloween Pizza Fun Night is on October 27, and the first meet of the competition season is just a few short weeks.
