The College maintains several pieces of gymnastic equipment such as still rings, high bar, un even and even parallel bars, a vaulting horse, balance beam, two bounce boards and a derelict trampoline, Snook said.

"The equipment really didn't get that much use until the club was formed," Snook said.
