About SGA
OUR
We strive :
- To allow children to experience the fun of competition
- To learn the joys of team effort
- To learn goal setting and self evaluation
- To develop the habit of "being your best"
We believe in RESPECT: In all aspects, we must always keep the highest regard for students, parents, staff, and coaches.
At SGA, CHILDREN COME FIRST: We put the needs of children first when we design and administer our programs and we continually strive to promote the physical, social, emotional, intellectual and moral development of each youngster.
We foster TEAMWORK: To teach children there needs to be synergy between the teacher, parent, and child. Teamwork is more than cordiality. It is a choice to work together toward a goal.
We value your TRUST: Our business is built on this principle. You trust us to train your children safely. Your children trust us to give them the best coaching possible. You trust us to perform our responsibilities with the highest standards of professionalism. We will try to be worthy of your trust.
We teach with ENTHUSIASM: Enthusiasm is contagious and so is the lack of it. No great work was ever achieved without enthusiasm. Fun is a worthy objective because it enhances the lives of children and provides lasting memories and relationships. At SGA we also know that fun is also an effective teaching strategy — children are more likely to stay in our program and learn and develop important skills when they are having fun, spending time with friends and participating with enthusiasm.
We encourage a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE: We promote fitness, encourage healthy eating habits, and provide an accepting environment for children of all body types and levels of ability.
We promote GOOD CHARACTER AND POSITIVE LIFE SKILLS: Lessons at SGA extend beyond the gym and into life lessons. We actively seek to instill positive character traits and values in our students such as: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. We teach and foster positive life skills and attitudes, including self- discipline, courage, perseverance, empathy, team work and the value of hard work and preparation.
We provide a SAFE, CLEAN ENVIRONMENT. Each of our instructors is USA Gymnastics Safety Certified and American Red Cross Certified in CPR and First Aid. Our gym, bathrooms and all public areas are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected nightly. And, finally, the facility and the equipment are regularly inspected and maintained to assure safety.
We have POSITIVE, EDUCATED, CARING COACHES. The SGA coaching team uses positive coaching and motivational techniques to promote enjoyment and build self-confidence. We provide continuing educational opportunities to coaches and other staff to help them stay knowledgeable and proficient in the activities that they teach, in safety and in character building.
We treasure the OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH EACH CHILD. Finally, we recognize that every child is unique. It is our goal to make each child, regardless of age or ability, feel special each day they are with us. They will develop not only a stronger, healthier body, but also more self-confidence through our fun and exciting programs.
