Under New Ownership!
We are excited to announce some changes to your gymnastics program! Spokane Elite Gymnastics was established over 30 years ago and since 1999 has been owned by John Sweeney, President of Seattle Gymnastics Academy, Inc. Mr. Sweeney has decided to focus on expanding his gyms in the Seattle area (where he currently has three locations and is in the process of opening a new facility) and has given me the option of buying Spokane Elite Gymnastics. I am excited about this unexpected opportunity and became the new owner on July 1, 2010.
We had a smooth transition and will continue to provide all the programs that you currently enjoy. We will also continue to have our incredible team of coaches: Betsy, Dmitry, Zak, Jordan, Tucker, Germaine, Tara, Seth, Emma and Jaclyn. Molly will serve as Manager, Head Coach, and Girls Team Director and daily operations will remain the same. We miss Rachel's enthusiastic and knowledgeable coaching style when she relocated to Seattle earlier this summer.
We will offer the same prices and all memberships will continue uninterrupted. While our focus remains on recreational gymnastics, we are excited to provide expanded options for competitive gymnasts. We will introduce a “Pre-Team” program, expand our Gymnastics League Competitions, and add tumbling classes with a focus on floor skills. Our USAG Boys Junior Olympic Team and Girls Rec-Op programs remain a priority and we look forward to another great season!
I would like to thank you for your confidence in us and continued support. We love teaching and look forward to continuing to offer a safe and fun gymnastics experience! As always, if you have any questions or if there is anything that I may do to assist please don't hesitate to contact me; either at the gym 509-533-9646 or directly on my mobile phone 509-590-6177.
