Club Information   Club Requirements There are a few things that are required of a UB Gymnast.  The first being that you are an active member of the club.  This means that you volunteer for fundraising, community service, and other such club-related duties.  SA REQUIRES the club to be an active member of the UB community.  The only way to accomplish that is if the whole team is involved and willing to help. The second thing required of a UB Gymnast is an interest in the sport, the willingness to learn, and of course - have fun!  We are a lighthearted group that loves the sport of gymnastics and has fun inside and outside the gym.  We love to travel, compete, and meet gymnasts from all over the country!     Practice Where:   Flips Gymnastics Center, Lockport NY When:   M-F 5:30-8:30pm, Saturday 12-3pm.  We basically work around everyone's school schedule.  Members are required at least 1 practice a week, and are allowed to attend any and all aforementioned practice times.  They are also allowed to go/leave early/late as long as they have transportation.  How:     Transportation is provided by members who have cars.  We try to rotate as much as possible.  We carpool from the UB Bookstore (north campus).  Flips also requires a one time fee of $35 to practice for the year.     Competitions: Competitions are in NO way required, however we encourage all members to try if they wish.  Members can choose to compete on however many events they want (which allows an athlete to specialize on 1 or 2 events, or compete in the all around).  We attend around 5 competitions a year, host a home invitational, and finish the season with a National Competition (to be held in Atlanta in 09!).  This gives us a great chance  to travel the country, meet gymnasts from other schools, and share an overall love for the sport.  Many people also view the competitions as a great way to measure personal progress throughout the year.      Forms: Members are required by SA to fill out the following forms: Liability Release Form:  Basically states that should something happen to you at practice or at a competition, UB and Flips are not responsible. Insurance Verification and Emergency Contact Form :  Both are used to expedite emergency care, should there be a need for it.
