The Vidalia Gymnastics Center Team Vidalia took the trip up to Athens to compete inside The Athens Arena, as hundreds of gymnasts from over the United States competed in the annual Made In The USA 2025 gymnastics competition. Among those were 31 local gymnasts of Team Vidalia of Vidalia Gymnastics & Cheer who traveled to Dawg Country to attend the invitational hosted by Rockdale Gymnastics.
The annual competition helps military families by not only raising awareness, but also providing support for The Wounded Warrior Project and The Fisher House. These two fantastic causes are dedicated to the support of those who give and sacrifice so much for our very way of life and our liberty. Several teammates made a weekend of their time in the Classic City by watching the Gym Dawgs Gymnastics Team take on the University of Arkansas. As always, it was a great weekend to be a Dawg… and Team Vidalia gymnast.
The gymnasts that make up Team Vidalia train year round; the official start date for the 2024-2025 season began back in June 2024 and those thirty-one girls chosen to represent VGC will train and compete through June 2025.
