Coach Mady’s Picks for Practice & Meet Day
Here are a few of Coach Mady’s favorite picks for gymnasts.
Under Armour Backpack
A Favorite for Smaller Gymnasts
Coach Mady sees a lot of her younger gymnasts carrying Under Armour backpacks. One reason they’re so popular is their size and shape. They fit smaller athletes well without looking oversized or becoming awkward to carry. For a gymnast who needs to bring her practice essentials without hauling around a huge backpack, this is a great option.
Nike Drawstring
Not every trip to the gym requires a full backpack. Drawstring bags are especially popular when gymnasts only need to carry a few things — a water bottle, grips, hair accessories, or a change of clothes. They’re lightweight, easy to grab, and perfect for those quick trips when a full-size bag is more than you need.
Nike Backpack
Nike backpacks are a great option for gymnasts who want something practical that can go from the gym to school and everywhere in between. They come in a variety of sizes and styles, making it easy to find one that fits your gymnast and holds what she actually needs.

Don’t Forget the Grips!
Grip Bags: Small, but Important
A gymnast’s grips are an important part of her gear, but they can also be one of the messiest. A grip bag keeps them together and helps keep chalk and dust from getting all over the inside of a gym bag.
And let’s be honest — gymnasts like their gear to have some personality! Colorful, graphic grip bags are a fun way to make an everyday piece of equipment feel a little more personal. Gymnastics-themed designs are especially popular, but there are plenty of fun styles to choose from.
Coach Mady’s Tip: A grip bag is a small addition that makes a big difference when it comes to keeping gymnastics gear organized.
