Women’s
National Team Training Center
Walk of Fame
Join Our Team! USA
Gymnastics’ Women’s National Team has recently cut the ribbon in a grand
opening ceremony for it new Training Center. As an addition to the existing gym
at the Karolyi Ranch in Huntsville, Texas, the new state of the art facility
offers a permanent site for the National Team to conduct training camps as they
prepare for upcoming international competitions and the Olympic Games.
Team bonding and
unity have been the primary focus for this quadrennium. For the first time in
history, the women have founded and embraced a National Program. What better a
way for the “team” to feel as if they are one solidified unit, than to
inaugurate a new National Team Training Center dedicated to them! Gymnasts and
coaches alike take pride in the ownership of the new training center; a
testimonial to their unity and sense of purpose.
Two of the first
teams to train at this new facility were the 2003 Pan American Games Gold Medal
Team, and our own 2003 World
Championships Gold Medal Team.
Get on the bandwagon and continue to celebrate team USA’s successes!
We invite you all
to partner with us to make this the state of the art facility that our athletes
need and deserve. Ballet barres, stall bars, strength equipment, medical
supplies, a training room and rehab technology are just some of the items still
needed to elevate the Center to the next level. You can help by buying a
commemorative brick which will become a permanent part of the center. Part of
the proceeds from this project will go toward preserving gymnastics history by
placing a “brick” with the name of every female Olympian in a special “Circle
of Champions”.
Clubs of current
and past National Team Members will be recognized in a special section too. Be a part of our history! Make sure to let
us know when purchasing your brick if your club has placed an athlete on the
national team.
The commitment to
excellence for the Women’s team has been apparent on the competitive floor, in
the training camps, and in the heart of the athletes. We need your help to
complete the dream by a adding a brick to the beautifully landscaped Walk of
Fame just outside the training center. For
a $150.00 contribution, your name or personalized inscription will be etched on
a 4x8 brick with the message of your choice (up to 3 lines and 28 characters).
This is a limited opportunity to become a part of history in Women’s gymnastics
with a permanent tribute on the Walk of Fame. You will be proud to be an
American!
