It’s the Pits!

NGTC is proud to announce that we will soon be adding a pit to our gym.   A pit, for those that may not be familiar with the term, is a large hole that is dug somewhere in the floor, concrete walls are poured and the resulting hole lined with mats then filled with foam blocks.  

Thousands of these blocks will be needed to "Fill the Pit" as it will be large enough to be utilized by several different apparatus'.  You'll see a sign by the front desk that reads "Fill the Pit!".   Be part of history and join the fun as we raise money to fill the pit with the soft, squishy foam.

So, whats the pit used for?  Quite simply it is a great training aide to allow gymnasts of all ages to train new skills, landing in the Pit so that they have no fear of injuring themselves.

Look for updates on the Pit progress and timeline, along with other big news coming soon!
