As parents of gymnasts, you know that competitive gymnastics can cost more money than you may have originally thought. Many gyms have booster clubs that focus on fundraising money for their competitive gymnasts year round. Here are some unique opportunities that your gym’s booster club can consider when looking to fundraise. 

We have one Earth and at Destira we like to do what we can to help keep our Earth beautiful for us and for the future. Every small change makes a difference when we are able to add them all together.

When your child is starting out in gymnastics there are many options to choose from when it comes to youth gymnastics leotards and apparel. How do you know what is best for your young gymnast? The main goal is to make sure that your gymnast is comfortable and confident in her apparel for practice. Here are a few things to consider when choosing gymnastics apparel for your new gymnast.

The sport of gymnastics brings so many valuable lessons and skills to our athletes beyond the awe-inspiring physical feats of the sport. We are so excited to be partnering with Girls Leadership to extend and deepen our actions toward empowering girls.

Destira Star Stella shared this with us at the end of July 2020. Stella’s writing is a perfect reminder of why we are here — passion for gymnastics and desire to support and empower youth is at the heart of what we do at Destira. Our work is for the young athletes who love the experience of being a gymnast.  Thank you for sharing, Stella!

As parents ourselves, we know that a poorly-fitting mask is a no-go for most kids, so we meticulously designed our masks to account for the changing shape of the human face between preschool and high school. Our masks are tailored to each age range for a contoured fit that’s so comfortable, you may forget you’re wearing it.

Premium braided elastic over the head holds the mask securely in place during tumbling practice and beyond. We think they’re cute enough to wear around town, too.

A properly-fitted cotton mask will, when worn correctly, contain most of those potentially-infectious droplets, so that we can say it, but not spray it. Here's some science about that, and what makes Destira face masks so great.
