Foothills 2008-2009 Special Olympics Team, Gym Buddies and Coaches
About our Program:
Foothills Gymnastics and Cheer Center is proud to offer a program for children and adults with a variety of special needs.
Our program provides many opportunities for a child to utilize and expand their sensory functions including vision, hearing,
touch, gravity, body position and movement. We are looking for individuals who would like to take part in our Special Olympic
Gymnastics program. If you have a child or know of someone with intellectual special needs, please call Foothills Gymnastics
and Cheer Center.
We are also excited about our unique Gym Buddies program! The Gym Buddies program is a fun and fantastic way
to volunteer and become involved in the wonderful sport of gymnastics! The Gym Buddies work with our gymnasts who
have special needs in a regular class setting or in our Friday afternoon classes specifically designed
for those gymnasts with intellectual special needs.
For more information about how to become a Special Olympics gymnast or a Gym Buddy volunteer, please call us at 864-855-9660
and ask for Penny Crocker. You may also email Penny at tigerfans@thecdr.net.
