The Rye Y Story Project

Gracyn's Story

(with Coach Shelly)

Gracyn just returned from the Westport Y Invitational where she was thrilled to receive her first "9" with a front hip circle on the bars.

I’m a Level 3 Team Gymnast at the Rye YMCA. I remember starting gymnastics when I was 5 on Pre-Team. I look forward to practice and working on back walkovers and learning team level skills.

I made lots of friends at the YMCA and even more on Pre-Team and I am still friends with so many! Read more
