GYMNASTICS TEAM

GYMNASTICS TRAINING & TEAM

At the Newtown Athletic Club, we believe that physical activity and sports lay the foundation for a healthy and active life. We’re committed to fostering those traits and values with a variety of sports programs, including recreational and competitive gymnastics.

Gymnastics is one of the most comprehensive lifestyle exercise programs incorporating strength, speed, flexibility, balance, coordination, power, endurance and discipline.

While recreational classes are fitting for anyone, the USAIGC competitive gymnastics team and pre-teams require more practice hours and year-round commitment.

We offer routine training in all USAIGC levels, and focus our program around building mentally and physically strong and confident gymnasts on all events. All gymnasts are evaluated at the beginning of the season and placed into the appropriate level by our head coach. We compete in 5-7 competitions a season, host mock meets, in-house performances, team bonding nights, and take part in local parades and more.
