About Gymnastics at TGA

Physical fitness was of the utmost importance to the Ancients Greeks, and the sport of gymnastics grew out of this
concept.  Although many changes have taken place in the Sport of Gymnastics over the years, the basic premise is the
same.  The underlying goal is to create a sound mind and body.

As the Greeks envisioned, even at its most basic level, the sport of gymnastics can improve strength, coordination,
flexibility, balance, speed, and overall kinesthetic sense.  These fitness-related components can be carried over to other
sports and activities.  More importantly, the qualities of poise, grace, self-confidence, and discipline can be enhanced to
be utilized in every facet of life.  Our classes build a solid foundation for those who wish to pursue elite status in the
sport.  However, remember creating a top-notch gymnast, takes years and years of desire, dedication, and hard work.  
  

Our mission here at TGA is to provide quality fitness and gymnastics instruction for children of all ages and levels.  
While nurturing the desire to learn new skills, achieve lofty dreams, and improve in every possible way, we encourage
each child to reach their own potential both as athletes and individuals.
