Philosophy:
SchlegelÕs Gymnastics
Centre is committed to the provision of quality programs. We believe that
participating in gymnastics activities improves self esteem, and enhances both
social and physical development. With this in mind, each child will be provided
the stimulus and the opportunity to develop to his full potential.
The maintenance of a
recreational philosophy fosters an environment where FUN remains an integral
part of the learning experience. Our extensive coaching and gymnastics
experiences have significantly contributed to both our program and facility
designs.
Safety will always be a
primary consideration in every facet of our organization.
Our Coaching
Team:
As with our facility
and programs, we are equally proud of our coaching team. Each member is
nationally qualified and must fulfill rigorous in-house training. This training
is conducted by our Program Director, Andrea Schlegel, M.Ed.
We have a very high
standard and expectation of our team, and we are confident that you will find
our coaches outstanding!
