Facility Comparison
Alabama
The Frances Smith Gymnastics Practice Facility
Countless hours went into designing the 12,500 square-foot gym, creating a facility that is both beautiful, but designed to minimize and alleviate the impact of training on the gymnasts' bodies. Multiple soft landing pits are available for all four apparatus, giving the Tide the freedom to train skills in enhanced safety. The main practice area includes an in-ground trampoline and tumbling strips. The sound system that drives the Tide's practices surrounds the floor exercise area with the same level of sound Alabama will encounter in a meet setting. The practice gym also includes a state-of-the-art video analysis system.
