The Alabama gymnastics team held its annual Stallings RISE Center holiday party Friday, hosting special guests to the Frances Smith Practice Facility.
“Year-after-year this is such an amazing experience,” UA head coach Dana Duckworth said. “Our ladies look forward to having all this incredible energy and joy in our gym and in our hearts.”
The Crimson Tide has joined with RISE for a holiday party for more than 20 years and has hosted the event in the UA practice facility since it opened in 1996.
