clubphilosophy

For the love of the sport...

The motto of the NAIGC is “For the Love of the Sport” and we adopt this philosophy. Everybody on our club loves gymnastics, first and foremost. Anybody who has an interest in gymnastics can be a member of the club, whether you are male or female, level 1 or level 10, first year or senior. Everyone is welcome! We believe that if you are looking for the best all around college athletic & academic experience, UVM and our gymnastics club is the place to be.

Competition is optional. Those who would like to compete can…those who don't want to compete don't have to. The gymnasts who choose to compete generally show that commitment by attending practices a minimum of 3 times a week or more. The club has approximately 4 intercollegiate competitions plus Nationals each year in addition to several local exhibitions to promote gymnastics among our area youth.

A club by definition is student run. Being a member of our club provides you with the opportunity to hold an officer's position in an activity you love and allows you to become a leader on campus. Your effort and enthusiasm has a direct bearing on the success of our club. In turn, the club provides you with an immediate support mechanism, through the collective experience of all its members, to help you, not only in gymnastics, but in your academics as well. In time, you will be called upon to help lead and support your future team members.
