Gymnastics Competitive Team
The Oneonta Family YMCA Competitive Gymnastics Team is a year round team for an athlete looking for a competitive experience. Female gymnasts compete USA Gymnastics routines and follow Junior Olympic rules and regulations against other YMCA’s at the state, regional, and national level. We strive to create an environment where gymnasts can learn the physical and mental skills necessary to be confident in each level of gymnastics. Our mission is to give gymnasts the tools to improve their fitness, goals, confidence, and love of the sport that will last a lifetime. Our dedicated and experienced coaches work to instill and reinforce caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility through focusing on good sportsmanship, team bonding, and making healthy choices both in the gym and out.
*An Oneonta YMCA membership is required to participate.*
Team try-outs are held yearly.
