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.
The Gem City Tumbling Team headed north with 23 athletes to Madison, Wisconsin, for the USTA National Championships.
This year 23 members qualified and are advancing to USTA Nationals in Madison, Wisconsin, from June 20-24.
We recently drew the winner for Gem City’s third Good Grades Quarterly Drawing for the 2016-2017 school year. The good grades keep rolling in and we’re impressed! Keep up the good work, athletes!
Gem City’s tumbling team has whopping 37 athletes attending United States Tumbling Association’s (USTA) State meet April 22-23 in Edwardsville, Illinois.
The 2016-2017 seasons of gymnastics, tumbling, and cheer have already been exciting. We know there’s a lot to balance between school, the gym, and finding time to be kids, so we’re proud to be a part of their lives.
Gem City is excited to offer skill clinics this October and November! Skill clinics are one-hour group sessions focusing on a specific skill or set of skills for just $15 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.
We’re getting excited for the 2015 Illinois AAU Trampoline & Tumbling State Championships! We’ll be hosting it in Quincy, Illinois, on Saturday, May 16, 2015 at the Oakley-Lindsay Civic Center. We hope to see you there!
Congrats to the Gem City Tumbling Team on a great competition in Arthur, Illinois. It was the biggest competition of the season so far with around 800 athletes in attendance. The Gymnastics Team competed in Cincinnati, Ohio, with two athletes.
