Turn the World Upside Down on National Gymnastics Day Plan your National Gymnastics Day event on Saturday, Sept. 22, 2012, at 1 p.m. ET, and join USA Gymnastics as we ‘Turn the World Upside Down.’ Plan to get your community engaged by having everyone turn upside down, joining gymnasts, coaches and fans across the country as we celebrate the greatest sport in the world. Last year, it was the handstand, and this year, it’s anything goes. Get coaches, friends, classmates and parents involved. Flip, roll, or cartwheel; back hip circle, handstand or flip into the pit. The possibilities are endless. Just take a picture and share it, along with how many participated, on the USA Gymnastics Facebook page. Invite your local TV newscaster to your gym on National Gymnastics Day and show the world what it is like to do gymnastics at your gym. WHO: Gymnasts, families, friends and enthusiasts from across the country. WHY: To celebrate National Gymnastics Day and build awareness of gymnastics by ‘Turning the World Upside Down’ simultaneously. This year’s theme is also a fun way to raise funds for Children’s Miracle Network, which benefits children battling illnesses in each club’s local community. WHAT: As part of your National Gymnastics Day celebration at your gym, organize all interested students, families and friends to go upside down in any form (handstand, cartwheel, flips) at the designated time, take a picture and share it on the USA Gymnastics Facebook page. WHERE: Gym clubs may host their activities at the gym, a local park, the local Children’s Miracle Network hospital, or as part of a community event. This is a great chance to be creative and take advantage of what could be successful in your community. WHEN: Saturday, September 22, at 1 p.m. ET. It is important that all ‘Upside Down’ participants be inverted at the same time across the country. Activities can be planned leading up to and after the attempt, but we must ‘Turn the World Upside Down’ together on the dot. HOW: Spread the news to your club’s students and families, share the information with the local media, schools and children’s groups. SUCCESS: We will announce the number of nationwide participants on our website at usagym.org, as well as on Facebook and Twitter, and we’ll send participating clubs an email with the news!
