GYMNASTICS TEAM

The Texas A&M Gymnastics Team is one of the oldest sport clubs at the university. Through the years, the team has developed their talents through practice and competition. The team practices five days a week, Sunday through Thursday, in the PEAP Building. Since the pandemic began, the team has worked hard to maintain their stamina due to the lack of competitions.

Before the pandemic, the team was able to hold “Flips for Tips” near the Student Recreation Center during Aggie home football games. The turnout would be great for only a few hours of work. Every year, the team also holds a letter drive, in which each member sends out 5 to 10 letters in hopes of receiving donations for the Gymnastics Team. Any donations the team receives go toward equipment needed for practice. (Currently, the team does not have their own equipment and is grateful to share with the Department of Kinesiology.)

The team works hard year after year to obtain enough money to buy their own equipment. However, this is a challenge because gymnastics equipment is expensive. The COVID-19 pandemic presented challenges to the team's ability to grow their budget and altered the way the team is able to raise money. Having enough funding for all new equipment has not been in the cards due to added expense. In addition to this, members are required to pay their own way to Nationals if they wish to attend. The team would like to make this opportunity available to every team member who wishes to attend by providing funding for all members.

The Texas A&M Gymnastics Team needs your support. If you are able to give back, please contact the Department of Recreational Sports.
