2007 National Collegiate Gymnastics Championships
The Best Division III Facility in The Midwest
Gymnasts will have the opportunity to train in the state-of-the-art facility that hosted the 2007 National Collegiate Gymnastics Championships. Our facility was renovated in the fall of 2006 and all of our equipment has been updated to meet NCAA standards. The Warhawk Gymnastics Gymnasium is one of the best Division III facilities in the Midwest. The gym is equipped with a resi pit for vaulting and tumbling, a resi and loose-foam pit for training, uneven bars, trampoline, tumble trak and overhead spotting rings. Our camp also offers a fully-trained staff and athletic training room. Our gymnastics training facilities are designed to help make you the very best gymnast you can be.
