Meet Our Staff …..

All of the SRGC instructors have personal experience in gymnastics, tumbling, cheer leading or dance. 80% of our staff have been competitive gymnasts/cheerleaders and all have gone through the SRGC training program and testing. Instructors and Coaches must all go through ongoing training, done quarterly, where class management, safety, spotting, and gymnastic techniques are all taught, drilled and tested. On top of the in house training, all of the Team Coaches and Supervisors attend the USAG Region 1 training and certification seminars annually, which they then present to the rest of our staff.

Hello !

All SRGC staff are First Aid and CPR certified and all staff members over the age of 18 are Live Scan Fingerprinted. All Team Coaches are USAG safety certified and background checked as well.
