About Technique Gymnastics
Technique is where kids (walking age to 22 years old) build athletic skills and confidence while enthusiastic staff encourages self-esteem and skill development. Our programs allow kids of all abilities to participate in gymnastics, cheer, tumbling, kids fitness programs and a variety of other fun activities. We do have both girls and boys USA competitive gymnastics teams and competitive dance teams for those athletics wanting to compete.
History
Technique was founded in 1992 and opened the doors to the West Coast's largest and safest gym in August 1996. Family owned and operated, Jim and Alice Welch envisioned a place where kids not only learned gymnastics , tumbling and dance, but also gained valuable life skills that would help in the process of becoming a responsible adult.
Our Programs
Endorsing a positive environment that always encourages participation, our programs help kids become aware of the great things they can accomplish. The majority of our programs are non-competitive and divided by age and skill level to be developmentally appropriate. Students are encouraged to work toward their individual goals and enjoy their personal successes. By teaching the most current and safest techniques, students develop a strong foundation that allows them to go as far as their interest and ability allows. Technique also uses the Character Counts program in our curriculum to encourage positive character development. We believe in working along side of teachers and parents to develop happy, healthy, responsible kids.
Our Staff
Our staff includes some of the highest trained and most qualified instructors anywhere! From the recreational through the Olympic level, coaches are trained and certified in First Aid, CPR and Safety. Safety training is administered through USA Gymnastics, the governing body of the sport. While they are members of USAG and numerous other professional organizations, Technique's main requirement for the staff is that they love children!
