OUR PHILOSOPY…
To encourage each child to reach his/her potential through positive motivation with emphasis on developing self-esteem and confidence. Gymnastics and Cheerleading training is done through logical skill progression and repetition to develop flexibility, muscular strength, and body awareness, thus providing a safe progression to advanced skills.
OUR MISSION…
WE BUILD CHILDREN FROM THE INSIDE OUT!
1. Since God made very few Olympians, here at E.T.T.G.,
every child is allowed the dignity to be an athlete.
2. Our goal is to make every child who walks out our
door, feel better about themselves, and be a better
person, as a result of their participation in our
programs and classes.
3. SAFETY--first, last and always!
4. We break each skill down into a magical stairway of
small successes to turn children into
"SELF-ESTEEM MACHINES!"
5. Our goal at E.T.T.G. is to be a role model for
youth oriented sports organizations,
second to none!
