proudly introduces
the
Greater
Illinois Junior Olympics (GIJO) Program
Who:
Gymnasts who wish to compete as they train for high school gymnastics
and/or gymnasts who wish to compete without the time and financial
commitment of USAG competition. Meet participation is not required.
When:
Our GIJO team will have 3 scheduled practices each week. GIJO hours are
Monday 5:30-8:30p, Wednesday 5:30-8:30p, & Saturday 1:00-4:00p.
Gymnasts are asked to attend a minimum number of 2 of these practices
each week but are welcome and encouraged to attend all 3.
Where:
Spring Hill Gymnastics. GIJO gymnasts with the team level comparable to
their GIJO level.
Why:
GIJO is
perfect for many gymnasts for a number of reasons:
·
GIJO is less
time demanding that USAG. It allows the girls to participate in other
school sports and activities without breaking commitments or feeling
guilty.
·
GIJO gives
gymnasts the opportunity to train their optional skills for high school
competition when they might not be ready for optional levels under USAG
regulations and guidelines.
·
GIJO gives
gymnasts who are thinking of giving up gymnastics the opportunity to
still enjoy competing in a sport they still love.
