GC GYMNASTICS - We are a competitive and recreational group. Each gymnast develops at their own rate, we strive for every gymnast to be the best they can be and attain the level appropriate for them.

CONDITIONING - Conditioning is an important part of gymnastics. Proper strength training provides the athlete with the ability to perform the skills more easily and with less chance for injury.

FLEXIBILITY - Flexibility provides the athlete with a greater range of motion, and reduces the chance of severity of injury.

CLUB FEES - Club fees are due on the first of the month. Payments for GC Gymnstics classes are made to GC Gymnastics, please use drop box in the front office. Payments and enrollment for the Garden City Recreation classes are made at the GC Rec. department. All classes are held at GC Gymnastics 2860 Schulman in Garden City.

ATTENDANCE - It is important for all gymnasts to be on time and ready to work in order to take full advantage of gymnastic practices. GC Gymnastics uses an eleven month training calendar to allow gymnasts to continue to progress and not regress on specific gymnastic elements.
