Philadelphia Boys' Gymnastics is a competitive program in the USA Gymnastics Jr. Olympic Program
(formerly Temple University Boys' Gymnastics Team)
The purpose of this program is to provide Philadelphia-area youth with a quality training and competitive experience in boys’ gymnastics, within the framework of the USA Gymnastics Boys’ Jr. Olympic Structure. The facility we use is in McGonigle-Pearson Hall, rooms 143-144, on Temple’s main campus, Broad Street & Montgomery Avenue. Our building has undergone a facelift and is now an all-glass front with the entrance in the middle of the front of the building. Our gyms are in the back hallway, almost directly back from the entrance.

Garage parking is available in the nearby Liacouras Center garage (enter from 15th Street) for $6 (up to 2 hours), $7 (2-3 hours) or $14 (over 3 hours or on event days). On-the-street parking is also available but limited, as we operate often when university classes are in session. Drop-off is done at the middle of the 1800 block of North Broad Street, at the entrance to McGonigle-Pearson Hall. Our gyms are in the back hallway.
If you would like your son to participate in Temple's Boys' Gymnastics, please complete these two forms and bring them with you to the gym. Fred Turoff will be happy to arrange a trial session.
