We have cultivated a gymnastics training program that works for most of the kids who come through our doors. There are very clear goals for each level so the skills they’re working on each class are consistent. We also individualize whenever possible which leads to faster progression. When a child enters our program it doesn’t matter how long they’re with us or what their gymnastics ability is, we have their best interests at heart. They are part of our team. Our coaches will work with them through thick and thin and take them as far as they can or want to go. Our coaches enjoy working with kids and love teaching them gymnastics, so they’re going to learn a lot, and they’re going to have fun!
- Our training style allows us to individualize the work we do with each gymnast, which minimizes the individual’s weaknesses and maximize their strengths. This means that gymnasts are not necessarily held back if they struggle with certain elements. We also do not train “compulsory” elements that often do not lead to harder skills. Every skill we train can and will lead to a higher level skill down the road. This is the reason our gymnasts tend to have a faster rate of progression compared to other systems.
- We also focus on performing the correct shapes and movement patterns, which prevents injuries and lowers the amount of stress the body goes through, ensuring that our athletes will have long and successful careers with minimal injury.
- As soon as a gymnast has gained the skills necessary to move into a higher level, we allow them to. We don’t hold gymnasts back based on “seasons” or the time of year they happen to join.
We were originally a part of Gymnastics of York, which has been training champions for over 30 years in York, PA. In the Spring of 2011 we expanded to Dover under the leadership of Head Coach Justin. Our program in Dover started out in a small rented room in a karate dojo and then in the lobby of a church. Even in this small space with limited equipment the program grew way past our expectations, we are very appreciative of the supportive parents through our first year. In January 2013 we moved into our own space, though small at 2,000 square feet, we were able to grow the program enough to move once again in October 2014 to a much larger 6,500 square foot space, and finally to our current 11,000 sq foot home. We are now a completely independent program as of January 2020. We remain very thankful to our friends at Gymnastics of York!
