Philadelphia Boys' Gymnastics is a competitive program in the USA Gymnastics Jr. Olympic Program
(formerly Temple University Boys' Gymnastics Team)
The purpose of this program is to provide Philadelphia-area youth with a quality training and competitive experience in boys’ gymnastics, within the framework of the USA Gymnastics Boys’ Jr. Olympic Structure. The facility we use is in Pearson Hall, rooms 143-144, on Temple’s main campus, Broad Street & Montgomery Avenue. Drop-off is done at the middle of the block on Broad Street, near the [north] side entrance to McGonigle Hall arena. Our gyms are in the back hallway.

Parking
Garage parking is available in the nearby Liacouras Center garage (enter from 15th Street) for $4 (up to 2 hours), $5 (2-3 hours) or $12 (over 3 hours or on event days). On-the-street parking is also available but limited, as we operate often when university classes are in session and construction is in progress on our building. Drop-off is done at the middle of the 1800 block of North Broad Street, near the entrance to McGonigle Hall arena. Our gyms are in the hall behind the arena.

In the case of two or more from one family, after the first child, each additional child will receive 10% off the training fee. The training fee is due the first of each month. A grace period of one week is in effect. If the fee is not received by that time, a $10 late fee is charged per child. A $130 once-per-year registration fee is due with the team application form.
Season calendar and activity costs (September-May):
The competition and activity calendar will be determined by the coaching staff prior to the start of each season. Several clinics occur in the pre-season, and we plan to attend those that are reasonable. We plan to enter a number of meets each season, and will send those who qualify to the various season-ending meets. Expenses for these meets and activities (travel, housing, food, entry fees, competition uniforms) will be covered by individual families and the Parents’ Association (see below). Note: These costs can total $1000+ per season for each gymnast.
PBG Parents’ Association:
All families will be required to help with the PBGPA. We conduct the Philadelphia Boys’ Invitational each February which helps defer activity costs for individual families. The president will contact any new family to give necessary information.
