In 2007, The Kendrick Kippettes were established as Philadelphia's very first non-profit, USA Gymnastics Junior Olympic gymnastics program providing a gymnastic opportunity for inner-city and urban-based children. The city-subsidized program thrives on fundraising, stipends, grants, and the unending support and guidance of Kendrick Recreation Center Supervisor, Bill Malizia, and Program Director, Janette Santore.
At Kendrick, gymnastics instructors dedicate a multitude of volunteer hours to ensure that gymnasts have the opportunity to acquire a heightened sense of self-confidence, tenacity, perseverance, accountability, and the capacity to nurture healthy relationships with peers, program leaders, and contributing members of the community. The result has been the delivery of a boundless experience across athletic challenges, healthy competition, relationship management, a results-driven culture, and goal-oriented curriculum. 
The Kippettes currently train gymnasts who compete across USAG levels 3-9 and a Philadelphia Parks and Recreation Competitive Gymnastics program. In addition, Kendrick provides safe and healthy gymnastics instruction to more than 150 recreational participants. GK is proud to be the choice supplier of gymnastic workout leotards, competitive leotards, and warm ups for this awesome program.
Saranne Miller, Head Coach & Team Coordinator at Kendrick Kippettes said, “When I founded the Kippettes Gymnastics Team in 2007, I was overwhelmed with the administrative tasks of establishing Philadelphia’s first non-profit USAG competitive team. But, when it came to gymnastics leotards, GK Elite took the weight off of my shoulders. From leotard design to sizing to payment processes, and finally placing my order, GK representatives guided me through every step. I was treated as an individual, rather than one of a million customers. When I expressed concern over colors and fabrics, a GK representative was at the other end of the line ready to counsel me on my choices. The quality of the products, the timely delivery, and the never-ending support of the GK staff has made gymnastic leotard supply for the Kippettes the least of my worries. Thank you GK! We wouldn’t be who we are without our snazzy GK leos!”
