#BlackLivesMatter – The Skate Kid

Between 15 million to 26 million people in the United States participated in demonstrations over the death of George Floyd and others in recent weeks.

MANY coaches around the world took the opportunity to affirm their commitment to making Black and other minority athletes feel SAFE and ACCEPTED in their programs.

#MaskUp for Gymnastics

As of July 2, 2020 confirmed COVID-19 cases are increasing in about 40 / 50 States.

If we want College Gymnastics in 2021 we should do everything we can to reduce the spread of the virus.  #MaskUp and physically distance from strangers.
