Competitive Events
Throughout the training season, KWGC will host events relevant to our competitive athletes and families. Details of these are communicated through a monthly newsletter (or sent separately) with links to sign up if necessary.
These events include our annual Gymathon, seasonal holiday parties, uniform orders, volunteer opportunities, and many more. Families can find and register for upcoming events through our JackRabbit calendar.
In addition to these opportunities, the majority of KWGC competitive athletes will compete at Meets and Mock Meets (internal practice competitions) throughout the season. These competition dates are confirmed with families in the annual calendar and through email.
*Developmental program athletes will not likely participate in competitions until they are in the Team 3 or Interclub groups.
