Introducing the Region 5 Insider
Hello all, 

It's Jason MacDonald from Gymnastike. For the last 3 years, I have been a lead contributor to Gymnastike and have covered events from local club meets to the Visa Championships. Along with covering events, I also have my own video series, Flashback Friday, where I look back at signifcant competitions or a legendary gymnast's career. 

In January 2012, we saw an opportunity to provide more complete regional coverage while allowing me to expand my contributions to the gymnastics community through Gymmnastike. As a coach, judge, and former gymnast in Region 5, I felt our region would be the perfect fit for a regionally based site. From that the Region 5 Insider was launched!




The Region 5 Insider is an extension of the Gymnastike Media Platform designed specifically for the USA Junior Olympic Region 5 Gymnastics Community. The Region 5 Insider is a media outlet created to showcase and promote our current Region 5 athletes (Elite and JO), as well as alumni athletes competing in college.


The Region 5 Insider site will bring you an inside look to one of the most decorated and competitive regions in the country. Region 5 continues to produce Eastern, JO and Elite national champions and team members each and every year. This site will be the outlet in which to showcase these talented athletes. The Insider will bring you meet videos and interviews as well as behind the scenes stories and footage to give you a complete picture of what our region has to offer.
