Q: From the parent- How is your child benefiting from gymnastics?

A: Do you have another sheet of paper? We are going to need more space for this one!

Jordan has been in gymnastics since she was 18-months old. Through gymnastics, we have watched Jordan grow into a very caring, driven

and well-rounded young woman. Gymnastics has specifically helped Jordan learn how to win (and lose) gracefully,

the importance of accountability, confidence, conditioning, discipline, flexibility, leadership and the value of teamwork.

We are so incredibly proud of Jordan and cannot wait to watch her continued growth with gymnastics for many years to come!
