Getting Maddy involved in the YMCA gymnastics program is one of the best decisions we’ve made for our daughter. In addition to developing physical strength and her gymnastic skills, she’s learned to be more responsible with her time, balancing schoolwork and practice.  Her teammates are now some of her closest friends and through all the practice and competitions, she’s learned to celebrate successes, encourage those who are struggling and, if you fall, you need to get up and try again.
