Fantastic Gymnastics Community We Should All be a Part Of

Posted on 12. May, 2009 by Bob Wilson in News and Notes

You’re on Facebook, you’re on MySpace and maybe you’re even on Twitter, but are you on Gymnastike? It’s a web-based gymnastics community that also creates its own content, including videos of meets, interviews with coaches and spotlights on up-and-coming gymnasts.

Users or members can upload their own content (they have a thriving collection of gymnastics videos), post to blogs and, of course, interact with one another in the “open gym” section.

Teams can even create their own site where they can share information, photos, messages and schedules. If you’re looking for an easy way to create a team site that also lets you communicate with your team members, this is a good one. These days, kids are so connected and online, that having a website they can go to to check stats, photos or messages is much more effective than a phone call or even a bulletin board.

And for the most part, the site is free from advertising – a refreshing break after the overwhelming onslaught of ads on MySpace or the never ending application requests on Facebook.

I think my favorite thing about this particular gymnastics community though is how positive it can be. I don’t know about you, but I’ve found some other online communities and listservs to be just a little too competitive for my liking. Personally, I prefer something that’s a tad more open, laid back and focused on sharing information. Gymnastike has that feel.
