[quote=Anonymous]A lot of YMCAs don’t have gymnastics teams either but Arlington Y does at Woodmont. People were motivated to get these programs going decades ago and community interest has sustained them and grown them over time. Presumably over some of this time, there was a greater proportion of families with children in the area than there is now and with Arlington having greater density it makes sense that programs started in Arlington.

The county faces a number of changes since then which aren’t likely to go away any time soon, I’ll concede. However, it seems like there is still plenty of interest in the gymnastics program and without any transparency, it’s confusing how the situation could have become so dire that the only solution is a full closure of Barcroft.

If times are leaner then maybe they can explore going back to the original space. I don’t think it’s out of line for people to question the full closure of Barcroft in a matter of months without a presentation of any alternatives. [/quote]
