Athletes Representing Team USA in Tokyo at the Olympics

Here in Deerfield, we have a lot to cheer about this July and August as nine athletes from North Shore Rhythmic Gymnastics and one athlete from the WNBA Chicago Sky will travel to Tokyo to represent Team USA in the Olympics! We are proud of these amazing athletes who call the Sachs Recreation Center not only their practice facility but their home away from home.
