Rosettes Gymnastics Team
The purpose of the Madison Area YMCA Girls Gymnastics Program is to foster participation and support each athlete’s pursuit of personal excellence in gymnastics. Rooted in the YMCA’s mission to strengthen community through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, the program provides a pathway for girls to grow physically, mentally, and emotionally through competitive sport.
Our program encourages athletes to reach their highest level of ability and interest while experiencing a sense of achievement, confidence, and fulfillment. Team membership is open to any girl who meets the eligibility requirements, ensuring fair and inclusive access in alignment with YMCA competitive sports policies.
We are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and fun environment that nurtures the whole athlete. Through gymnastics, participants develop core life skills including physical fitness, self-expression, resilience, self-respect, and teamwork. These are essential traits for success both on and off the mat.
Guided by the values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility, our coaching staff models character development and encourages a lifelong connection to the sport, whether as athletes, coaches, or mentors. Gymnastics is not just the activity we teach; it is the tool we use to build strong individuals and stronger communities.
The Rosettes train in a dedicated, state-of-the-art gymnastics facility at the Madison Area YMCA. Designed to support competitive development, our space features advanced equipment for all women's artistic gymnastics events, along with tools for safe skill progression and peak performance. This high-quality training environment enables our athletes to develop their skills, confidence, and character, reflecting the values at the heart of the YMCA.
