Walton Gymnastics is a women's Varsity sport at Walton High School in Marietta, GA. Aspiring gymnasts try out in January and compete in mid-February through late April. Our team consists of current gymnasts, former gymnasts, cheerleaders, and young women with no formal gymnastics experience that just love the sport!
We compete against other high school teams (public schools and private schools) from the state of Georgia. Our team typically has about 8 to 12 competing team members, and two team managers that do not compete. Our team goal is to be one of the six teams that qualify to compete at the Georgia High School State Championship meet!
TRYOUTS
Tryouts were held on January 18th. For more information, please contact our teacher sponsors and coaches, Ms. Amy Merlin (social studies department) or Ms. Kathleen Sneed (art department).
PRACTICES
Many of our Walton gymnasts are also members of local club gymnastics teams and cheer squads. Our entire team meets once per week, on Wednesdays, at the Cobb Gymnastics Center, from 4:15pm to 615pm, from mid-January thru the end of the season in late April. All team members must attend all Walton practices!
COSTS
The Walton Gymnastics Booster Club collects fees from each team member. These fees pay our meet entry fees, workout facility fees, uniform fees, etc. The total cost for the 2012 competition season is $310.
