Weekend Overview
This past weekend, our Optional Boys Team traveled to Frisco, Texas to compete at the prestigious Liukin Invitational, held at the Ford Center at The Star, the Dallas Cowboys’ training facility. Competing on a national stage in one of the premier venues in the country was an incredible experience for our athletes.
Beyond the competition floor, the boys embraced the full Texas experience. From exploring the Fort Worth Stockyards and trying on cowboy hats, to attending a live rodeo and enjoying authentic Texas barbecue, the trip was about more than gymnastics. It was about team bonding, shared experiences, and representing ROGA on a national platform.
Competing at an event of this caliber is a testament to the hard work these athletes put in year-round. From early morning training sessions to long hours refining routines, this weekend reflected their dedication and resilience.
We are incredibly proud of how they represented ROGA, not just in placements, but in professionalism, sportsmanship, and team unity.
Texas was a success. The season continues.
