Elite Men's Artistic Gymnastics for Passionate Competitors.
Built through Grit, Trained with Determination
The Bandits is a premier GymACT program dedicated to providing competitive pathways for male gymnasts beyond high school. We empower our athletes to pursue their passions, whether in college or professional settings. Our program emphasizes community involvement and fundraising to ensure that all participants can compete and grow, regardless of financial circumstances. Join us in our mission to foster talent and ambition within the community.
We currently operate as a United Program — our athletes train independently in pods with their local teammates, then come together for team-building events, fundraisers, and competitions throughout the year. We rely on the generosity of many junior coaches and gyms that allow our athletes space to train and continue their competitive journeys.
We strongly value athletes who can serve as positive role models for the juniors they train alongside or help coach.
If you are interested in joining our team, please reach out at bayareagymact@gmail.com, and look into professional job opportunities or schools/universities to continue your studies within the Bay Area.
