your first practice​

​

Before you attend your first practice, please fill out our waiver to tell us a little bit about yourself. If your first practice will be at Cooke Hall, contact us before you go so that we can help you find the facilities. Practices are an open-workout style, meaning that we don't structure our practices - you can work on whatever you choose, whenever you want. We don't currently have coaches, but instead, we all coach each other - we have a very knowledgeable executive board that is here to help you out.

Fundraising 

​

We require all of our members to participate in fundraising during the fall and spring semesters. We raise funds for the club through ticket scanning at Gopher football games, doing gymnastics for cash donations at Gopher tailgating lots, and cleaning up the Sports Pavilion after Gopher gymnastics meets. Funds go towards paying for gym rental fees and gymnast insurance. Failure to complete mandatory fundraising results in a $25 fine, per event that you miss.

competition

​

We offer our members the chance to compete against other collegiate gymnastics clubs across the country through our parent organization, the National Association of Intercollegiate Gymnastics Clubs (NAIGC). You can compete for our team at any age or skill level, even if you have never done gymnastics before. NAIGC offers levels Developmental, 7, 8 and 9 for women's gymnastics and developmental, level 9 modified, and modified NCAA levels for men. Any gymnast, male or female, can compete any event. Our competition season runs from late November to late April, ending with a national competition hosted by NAIGC. It costs competitive members $20 to attend each local meet and they must pay for their own flight to nationals. For nationals, the club has offered flight subsidies in the past.
