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!
