The Bainbridge Island Gymnastics Team provides competitive women's and men's artistic gymnastics programs for the youth of Bainbridge Island and other local towns. The program is intended to serve gymnasts from ages 5 to19 at all competitive levels.

BIGC Team Philosophy

Our team’s philosophy is to develop gymnastics skills in a safe and fun environment while developing gymnasts both physically and emotionally. Our gymnasts will learn and practice the skills of goal setting and self evaluation as well as the importance of sportsmanship and respect for self and others. While on the team gymnasts will experience the support and responsibility of a competitive team relationship and experience the competitive nature of gymnastics. Through our gymnasts training we hope to instill mental discipline, self-confidence, and independent learning to create a ‘whole’ gymnast.
