Kenney Gym | 1402 W. Springfield Avenue, Champaign IL, 61820
Kenney Gym accommodates Illinois gymnasts with its large variety of Fighting Illini Gymnastics specification equipment. Men's equipment includes two pommel horses, two sets of still rings, three sets of parallel bars and two high bars. While the women's equipment includes four balance beams and two sets of ELITE uneven bars. The teams share two vaulting horses, a Palmer spring floor and a 40-foot-long tumble track.
Kenney Gym has long been a focus of innovative techniques and equipment in gymnastics training. The world's first foam-lined, in-ground "pit," developed for added safety in the instruction of tumbling and vaulting, was built here in 1963. Since then, another pit has been installed for vaulting, tumbling, high bar and beam work. The Kenney Gym pit structure provides dismounting capabilities for most men's and women's apparatus events, as well as tumbling and vaulting.
