More than 10,000 athletes from across the country will compete in this year’s AAU Junior Olympics in Des Moines, Iowa, July 27th – August 8th. We’re excited to have 4 athletes representing Team Gymnastics Academy. TGA’s Stephanie Sanders (Age Division 12 – 13), Jordan Bossard (Age Division 14 – 19), Madeline Reeves (Age Division 14 – 19) and Kelsay Sulgrove (Ladies Division) will all be competing as Intermediate Optionals.

The AAU Junior Olympics are known as the largest national multi-sport event for youth in the United States. Five hundred twenty-three athletes competed in the inaugural AAU Junior Olympic Games in Washington, D.C. in 1967. Since then, the AAU Junior Olympic Games have been conducted in 19 states and 30 cities across the United States. The AAU Junior Olympic Games were previously held in Des Moines in 1995 and 2004.
Volunteers are needed for this event. If you would like to help, volunteers or volunteer groups can sign up for one shift, a full day or an entire event at www.DesMoinesSports.com.
Please join us in wishing our gymnasts Stephanie, Jordan, Madeline and Kelsay good luck at this great event!
We spent the past weekend at the 80/35 music festival in Des Moines. For those of you who have not heard of 80/35, this year marked the second year that the festival has taken place in the Western Gateway of Greater Des Moines. 80/35 is organized by the volunteers of the non-profit Greater Des Moines Music Coalition. It’s more than just a music festival – it’s a celebration of all things cool happening in Des Moines.
We were honored to be a part of the YPC Do More Village and Dahls Kids Zone at the festival. The YPC Do More Village was an area designated for non-profits and organizations that encourage young professionals to “do more” in Des Moines. We had a booth in the village, where we gave away something every music festival has its fair share of – tattoos (don’t worry, they were temporary). Our coaches also showed their stuff by doing tumbling demonstrations in front of the booth throughout the day. We also did a tumbling demonstration in the Dahls Kids Zone, a free, interactive area designated for families that included children’s performers and an inflatable play area. A big thanks to our gymnasts and parents who came out for the demonstration!
Here are some photos from our adventures at this year’s 80/35 music festival:
Festival attendees left our booth sporting gymnastics tattoos.
These guys were dressed for the fest and just needed a few more tattoos to complete their look.
