This fall, members of Penn's women's gymnastics and men's track-and-field teams have offered free gymnastics instruction to 35 youngsters from West Philadelphia. The new program was the brainchild of Tom Kovic, women's gymnastics coach, working with Penn's Athletic Department and Office of Community Relations. The children, who range in age from six to 12, received instruction on all gymnastic apparatus in 55-minute sessions over 10 successive Saturdays. According to Coach Kovic, the program has proved an instant success. "We're having a wonderful time, and this is a real feel-good activity," he said. Another series of gymnastics classes will be offered this spring, and Coach Kovic hopes to be able to expand the program to serve more children next year.
