Boys Tumblegarten:

Looking forward to another great session of high energy fun and movement that will allow us to learn the basic body positions and skills needed to move to the next level.  The Tumblegarten program is an excellent platform for learning balance strength and flexibility that will aid in every athletic endeavor, whether they stick with gymnastics or move on to other sports.  We work on a lot of strength, but the boys rarely notice it because Lindsay, Jake and Allan keep the class fun and moving as they challenge the physical and mental capabilities of the boys.  This class is a great base for the boys and we have a great time teaching it.  If you ever have any questions please feel free to catch us after class, contact us at GTCOINC@aol.com, or phone 937-746-2213.  Don’t forget…bring a friend and you get a referral credit and your friend can receive $15.00 off their registration.

Girls Tumblegarten:

New Coach – Tumblegarten has a new coach! Britney Riesenberg is a former GTCO gymnast and is very happy to be back in the gym coaching. She also hopes to compete gymnastics again on her college club team (Miami). Welcome Back Britney.

Welcome and Congratulations – We would like to welcome all new tumblegarten students. Tumblegarten 1 is an introductory level of gymnastics. It allows gymnasts to learn the basics of each of the gymnastics events; including vault, bars, balance beam, and floor exercise.

I would also like to congratulate all those gymnasts who moved up to the next level in Tumblegarten. Thank you for your hard work and Good Luck.

Evaluations – Last session Tumblegarten instructors began using a new evaluation form. Instructors can now check off skills as your daughter  achieves them, therefore showing us how your daughter is progressing from week to week and session to session. Weeks 6 and 7 of each session you will be receiving a copy of these forms with comments on certain skills and recommendations for the next session. If you have an questions about your daughters progress in the Tumblegarten program please don’t hesitate to ask your instructor.

Boys’ Educational class

Joey left for college in September so we drafted his brother to take over the class.  Jake is having a lot of fun with the guys on Saturday mornings and there are still spots open in the class, so if you have a friend…..we can make a sweet deal for those who bring in another guy to the class.  Check with the front desk for details.  The educational class program is a great spot for those boys looking to have a lot (and I mean a lot) of fun while learning new and challenging skills. Jake will put them through their paces while being aware of the skills and strength necessary for the competitive team should the boys wish to take that avenue.  As always, the class program is designed to help all students, no matter what they choose to do with the skills and strength acquired in our programs.  Bring a friend, if they sign up, we will make each of you one sweet deal.  We really want to see this program grow.
