Happy end-of-summer from your friends at Twisters! Camps are wrapping up soon, parents are checking off school supply lists and kids are getting ready to get back into the swing of fall classes, both at school and at the gym. That also means that competitive gymnastics season is around the corner!

This past year has been a successful, exciting and transformative year for Team Twisters. We have so much to be proud of and so many gymnasts to celebrate. Their hard work day in and day out in the gym and the commitment of our coaches really shined bright this past competitive season, marking some major accomplishments that we would like to highlight.

Take a look at Team Twisters’ Highlights from the 2023-2024 competition season!

You may have noticed a name change, too. American Twisters in Coconut Creek and Twister Gymnastics of Boca Raton have joined forces into one unstoppable team… TEAM TWISTERS! Our staff worked tirelessly to plan, strategize, navigate and implement this major operational change. With the logistical guidance of Twisters leadership and the dedication and flexibility of our Twisters coaching staff, we are SO proud of the work that was done to achieve this longtime goal of unifying our teams.

As of now…

OPTIONAL LEVEL GYMNASTS work out exclusively at our COCONUT CREEK location – American Twisters.

XCEL GYMNASTS work out at both locations – Twister Gymnastics Boca Raton and American Twisters in Coconut Creek. Xcel gymnasts work out with the same coaches at each location.

Team Twisters is no longer competing in the compulsory program.  All gymnasts who previously competed Compulsory will compete in the XCEL Program in the 2024-2025 competitive season.
