I was able to help others while l learned some new things myself, stated LaVince Person, junior. The Club was designed for the gym- nast to be able to practice without the worry of upcoming competitions, Stu- dents came into the gymnastics room on their own time, and they were able to practice in a more relaxed state and concentrate on mastering tech- niques.
