What a team! – We are so proud of our girls and boys! They work hard to master each gymnastic skill.  All our young gymnasts are also developing in many other areas. Following instruction, respecting other team members, encouraging and supporting each other, and developing teamwork are all areas we concentrate on.  Teamwork is one of our goals at AGYM. We all work hard to build a well-rounded team player not just a skilled athlete.

Parents Night Out – What used to be called Late-Nite Friday is now Parents Night Out (PNO).  We think the name fits the occasion more accurately.  PNO is scheduled the 1^st and 3^rd Friday of each month.  This month’s dates are Friday, February 6^th and 20^th.  PNO is from 7 to 11 p.m.  The cost for the evening is still $20, which includes pizza, drinks, and goodies.  You may also attend on a $5 per hour rate.   Our hope is that PNO provides an opportunity for parents to get out and kick up their heels, or just stay home for a little quite R&R, while children have fun and exercise in a safe, secure environment.

Can you say CHEEER!!? – Part of preparing for cheerleading includes a time of running and stretching.  Each muscle group is carefully and regularly warmed up and stretched to prevent injury and increase flexibility.  Increasing hand-eye coordination and balance is an important part of cheer training.  The cheer jumps and tumbling are practiced and improved through repetition and corrective instruction.  Our staff also works with the high school cheerleaders through group and private coaching.

Hey Irving!  We’re Here! – We are excited about our Gymnastics neon sign installed on the West wall.  This sign is making it easier to locate our facility.  It is also very noticeable from MacArthur, which is attracting interest to the gym.  We also have a temporary banner on the old Ford pickup in the parking lot.  We are going to paint the old truck and add letters that adhere to the side panels.  Sorry for the frightful site of ol’ yeller (the yellow truck).

Congratulations! – We are so proud of all the members of the Irving girls church group who earned their gymnastics badge during the special training sponsored by AGYM.  The girls were able to complete circuits designed to challenge them to perform each gymnastic skill.  These circuits include floor tumbling, high beam, bars, and trampoline. The first group of 20 girls came on Saturday February 28^th.  The next group of 20 girls will be coming on March 6^th. Tough Guys – Meet some of our boy’s in the karate tumbling class held on Thursdays at 7:00 p.m.  This class is designed to enhance the karate skills they have by providing more flexibility, tumbling, hand-eye coordination and overall strength.

Moon Walk anyone? – It’s time to call and schedule your next birthday party here at AGYM.  We have blocked out Saturdays from 1-2:30, 3-4:30, and 5-6:30 p.m. just for you.
