TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The defending Southeastern Conference Champion Alabama gymnastics team announced its 2022 schedule Friday. The upcoming slate includes five home and four road meets as well as one neutral-site quad meet.
The Crimson Tide opens the season with road meets at Oklahoma and Florida, before welcoming Kentucky to Coleman Coliseum for the first of five home meets on Jan. 21. Alabama closes the regular season with the Elevate the Stage meet, in Huntsville, Ala., site of the Tide's 2021 SEC Championship victory.
Season ticket renewals for 2022 are out now and close on October 22, while new season ticket packages go on sale on Nov. 16. For more information on tickets and Alabama gymnastics, sign up for the team's Tide Mails.
Head Coach Dana Duckworth Said
"This is a typical Alabama schedule in that it's extremely challenging from start to finish. This season we will have the opportunity to compete in a packed out Coleman Coliseum and feed off the electric environment that our fans and students create. It will be the first time we've started out with back-to -back road meets since 2006, so we will definitely be tested by the time we welcome Kentucky to Tuscaloosa on January 21. We close out the regular season with a quad meet on podium with three other SEC teams at Elevate the Stage in Huntsville. This will be a huge advantage for our ladies to get acclimated to the championship environment."
