Celebrating the Journey of Every Gymnast - Meet Elliott
We are concluding out Celebrate series with Elliott - a Level 8 gymnast at Rigert Elite Gymnastics. She is inspired by her teammates and coaches, but she inspires us with her determination and love for the sport! We loved learning more about Elliott after video shoot when we asked her some more in depth questions about her journey. See what she has to say!

Guest Post: Have Fun and Be Strong
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!
Athletic Face Masks for the Gymnastics Community and Beyond
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.
