INTERNATIONAL TRIPS

 
 
A unique part of the Pottsville Gymnastic Training Center is the opportunity for their gymnasts to travel internationally.  Pottsville GTC has participated in several competitions abroad.  In addition,  Pottsville GTC high school seniors have the chance to travel to a country of their choice for gymnastic training and sightseeing- learning about another culture. It is truly an opportunity of a lifetime.

With the first trip being to Russia in 1997, Pottsville GTC has now been represented in Poland, Canada, Netherlands, Great Britain, Belgium, France, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Bahamas, Germany and Puerto Rico.
