GymACT Collegiate Team: Northern California
The Bay Area Bandits are a UNITED group of GymACT athletes, coaches, and support people who are dedicated to providing opportunities for gymnasts to train and compete while attending college locally. As the governing body, GymACT's purpose is to foster the growth of collegiate men’s gymnastics. Currently, there are 15 GymACT teams across the nation, and more are on the way.
GymACT (Gymnastics Association of College Teams) is here to help create, grow and maintain collegiate gymnastics programs.
Not all gymnasts coming out of their club team can make an NCAA men’s team. Not all gymnasts will decide to attend a university with an NCAA men’s team. Not all gymnasts want to participate on an intramural team or hang their grips up.
Every college gymnastics coach out there has a thousand stories of challenges they encountered along the way to building their athletic program. AND they are just as quick to blurb out an even longer list of circumstances where/when they received help from their greatest rival.*
*rivals on the competition floor; fierce friends and devoted supporters everywhere else.
Just as the upper classmen care for the freshmen, our thriving veterans share their experiences and expertise on all aspects of starting, growing and maintaining a college gymnastics program.
