"What skill
level is required?" None! While we all work towards competitive
routines, the College Gymnastics Club includes members from all
skill levels, from absolute beginners, who are still working on their
forwards roll, to seasoned pros with competitive experience.
"When can I join?" At anytime throughout the year. Beginning,
middle, or end of a quarter; it doesn't matter. Just stop by the
gym, tell the front desk you're interested in your first free trial
with the UCSC group, and we'll take it from there.
"What if I can't make all the practice times?" Then you make
the times you can. Hey, we're all students, and we know how student
schedules can conflict with the workout schedule; so come on the
days you can, and miss on the days you can't.
"Do I have to be affiliated with UCSC to participate?" Yes.
Undergrad and grad students, along with UCSC faculty and staff are
welcomed. Friends and community members, however, are welcomed to
sign up for one of Santa Cruz Sports Central's adult classes
instead.
"What are the workouts like?" Workouts encompass
all eight competitive events: Floor, Pommel Horse, Rings, Vault,
Parallel Bars, and High Bar for men; and Floor, Beam, Uneven Bars,
and Vault for women. Emphasis is placed on skill development and
routine construction, but always while maintaining a relaxed
enjoyable attitude. |
