The URI Gymnastics Club team, formerly a Division I program, has participated in the National Association of Intercollegiate Gymnastics Clubs (NAIGC) since 2009. Over this time, the club has taken a strong dedication to their sport practicing four days a week as well as attending separate conditioning sessions. The team operates at an extremely competitive level, having both our level 8 and level 9 teams qualify to team Finals at Nationals for the past four years.
