Gymnastics Teams

We are a gym team that teaches progress, commitment and fun!

At Old Town Gymnastics Academy (OTGA), we believe gymnastics is about so much more than learning skills. It is about helping young people become strong, capable and confident — both in and out of the gym.

Our recreational classes provide a safe, positive environment where children can explore movement, build skills and have fun. Being part of Team takes that experience to another level.

It Is a Privilege to Be on Our Team

It is a privilege to be on our Team, and it is our privilege to coach you.

Being on Team is different from participating in regular classes in many ways. It requires a higher level of commitment — physically, mentally and financially. Team athletes are expected to bring the motivation to strengthen and refine their skills, a positive attitude and strong work ethic, and a high level of respect for themselves, their coaches and their teammates.

In return, our coaches are committed to helping each athlete grow, improve and discover what they are capable of accomplishing. 

OUR TEAM MISSION

Our Team Mission is to build strong, capable and confident young people both in and out of the gym.

Being part of Team provides opportunities to develop invaluable life skills, including teamwork, camaraderie, goal setting, perseverance and the ability to maintain a positive mindset through the inevitable ups and downs of gymnastics.

Those lessons extend far beyond practices and competitions. They help prepare our athletes for school, relationships, careers and whatever path they choose in life. We are proud to play a part in that journey, and we can’t wait to see the people they become.

THE VALUES BEHIND OUR TEAMS

As a veteran-owned and operated gym with a proud military background, the values of service and character are an important part of who we are. We encourage our athletes to practice these principles every day:

  1. Loyalty
  2. Duty
  3. Respect
  4. Selfless Service
  5. Honor
  6. Integrity
  7. Personal Courage
  8. Commitment

These values align naturally with what it means to be a good athlete, teammate and person: working hard, supporting others, accepting challenges, showing respect and continually striving to do your best.

And while our Team knows how to work hard, we also know how to have fun!

COACHING THE INDIVIDUAL, BUILDING THE TEAM

OTGA’s experienced coaches understand that every athlete is different. We recognize individual strengths, abilities and challenges and provide personalized instruction designed to help each athlete progress safely and confidently.

At the same time, athletes learn that their individual efforts contribute to something bigger. Teamwork, encouragement and camaraderie are essential parts of the OTGA Team experience. We celebrate one another’s successes, learn from challenges and understand that how we treat our teammates matters just as much as what we accomplish individually.

Our goal is not simply to develop better gymnasts. We want to develop strong young people who understand commitment, respect, resilience, teamwork and the value of working toward something that matters.

COME GROW WITH US!

With quality equipment, experienced coaches and a safe, structured and encouraging environment, Old Town Gymnastics Academy gives young athletes a place to challenge themselves, build friendships, develop confidence and discover just how much they can accomplish.

We hope you will join us!
