Dylan is a brand new student in the Gymnastics After School program at ASI Allen, but if you saw him out on the trampolines, you’d never guess he just started! This Marion Elementary kindergartener says his favorite subject at school so far has been recess. It’s a good thing he likes to play, because he gets an extra two hours to play after school, not to mention homework help, snack time, and creative games and challenges thanks to ASI!

Quote from Dylan

“I love the coaches because they’re so nice and fun!”

Even though Dylan has made so many new friends already this year in the GAS program, he says that what he loves the most about ASI is the coaches. Our coaches are committed to providing our kids with a fun, safe after-school experience, centered on positivity, so we’re glad Dylan is enjoying it!

“I like to play and have fun with the other kids!”

Dylan loves to bounce on trampolines, and build up his muscles on the bars and the rings, but his favorite thing to do at ASI is to play in the foam pit. He loves to swing on the rope, and he is ASI Allen’s resident castle-building expert. He has enjoyed learning new gymnastics skills so much this year, gymnastics is his new favorite sport! Even though this is just his first year with ASI, Dylan is already at home. Now he can’t wait until his baby sister is old enough to come play too!

Meet Plano West’s coolest camper, Katie Case! Katie was sad to say goodbye to all of the fun she had this summer at Survivor Camp, but now that school has returned, so has Katie! Katie knows that the ASI fun doesn’t end when school begins, so she’s back at Plano West in our Gymnastics After School program! Every day after school, her favorite coaches roll up to Homestead Elementary in the Gymmie Van, and take Katie and her brother to ASI for some fun, gymnastics, fun, a quick snack, fun, maybe a little homework, fun, and MORE FUN! With all that exercise, it’s no wonder she’s such a talented athlete!

“I love the trampolines because… It’s fun being upside down!”

Katie has been coming to ASI for six years, and she is as much a part of our lives as we are of hers! Katie started in a Girls Bronze class, worked her way up to our competitive Girls Team, and now she has moved on to Power Tumbling to become a cheerleader! She’s learning “all kinds of flips!” as she puts it. With her impressive gymnastics skills and even more impressive positive attitude, Katie will always have a place at ASI! Maybe one day she’ll be… COACH KATIE!!!

Ricardo Schmitz is 8 years old, and he has had a blast this summer at Survivor Camp at ASI Firewheel! Ricardo is a very nice, very active kid. He’s tons of fun! When he grows up, he wants to be an artist, and if he were an animal, he’d be a horse. Who doesn’t like horses? Ricardo loves coming to ASI because it’s fun and active, just like him!

Quote from Ricardo

“Gymnastics makes you have muscles and keeps you healthy.”

Ricardo is originally from Russia, but now he lives here in Texas. He is in elementary school in Garland and his favorite subject is math. He loves running around ASI, and especially loves jumping into the pit. Although this is his first summer at camp, he hopes to one day learn how to do a flip. We can help you with that, Ricardo! Try a power tumbling class!
