EBG Open House!
We are so excited to announce our first ever EBG Open House, where *people* can come check out our program for FREE! We are holding this event on Sunday 9/20, in honor of National Gymnastics Day the day before (we like to think of it as National Gymnastics Weekend, because we need more than one day to celebrate gymnastics!).
When we say, "people", who exactly do we mean?? Well, we mean literally anyone at least 18 years old who is interested in gymnastics (i.e. you've never done it but always wondered, or you did it for a hot minute as a kiddo but not since, or you do it somewhere else but want to check something different out, or maybe you've competed before and long to flip again). You don’t need to have any previous experience to join us for the EBG Open House, but experienced gymnasts are also welcome to come. We’ll have *something* for everyone!
When we say, "something", what exactly do we mean by that?? Well, that’s the other exciting news we have, that we are finally going to start offering a new Adult Gymnastics Class as part of our programming. This class will be on Sundays from 1:15-2:30p starting on Sun 9/27, and will be open to all levels, including first-time beginners. People can sign up by the session for a discount, but drop-ins will also be possible as long as there is space.
When you come to the EBG Open House, you’ll also hear all about all the EBG programming:
-
Joining our Competition Club - Learn about competing gymnastics as an adult,
-
The new Class program - Learn about how the class program will work,
-
Drop-in Open Gym - Learn about how to drop in for an Open Gym, and
-
Volunteering for our Special Olympics Gymnastics Class - Learn about how our Special Needs / Adaptive Gymnastics Class works, and how you can support our mission through volunteering with us.
The schedule for the day will go like this:
-
2p - Doors open & Check-in
-
2:15-4:15p - EBG Open House (where we’ll do a group warm-up together for 15 minutes, then we’ll split into leveled groups for five rotations to check everything out, and then finish up with 5 minutes of group conditioning)
-
4:15-5p - Special Olympics volunteer meeting
Attire: What should you wear?? Anything you feel comfortable moving in; general athletic attire is good, i.e. tight and stretchy. Loose hair should be tied back, and dangling metal jewelry should be removed. Be prepared to be in bare feet for the class. Bring a water bottle that is not glass and can seal. There are locker rooms on-site and cubby storage in the gym.
Where: is this happening?? We rent the gymnastics facility at the MIT athletic complex, in the duPont Gymnasium. The address for the facility is:
120 Vassar St., Cambridge, MA 02139
After you register, you'll get a link to a map of how to get to the Gymnastics Room at MIT.
OK, this all sounds awesome! How do you sign-up?? Just click on the Registration link here and sign the waiver. That’s it! Can’t wait to see you in the gym!!
