Get to Know More About East Texas Twisters
East Texas Twisters has two locations: Canton and Mineola. The original Canton facility was opened in 1979 and has been providing quality tumbling, gymnastics and cheerleading training to East Texas for many years.
In 2000, we built a new 12,000-square-foot dream facility in Canton with competitive spring floors, foam pit, trampolines, gymnastic equipment, upstairs studios, plus much more. In 1993, we expanded this program to include a Mineola location and again built a state of
the art gym in 2003. 
Our Philosophy
To encourage each child to reach his or her potential through positive motivation with an 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!
- Since God made very few Olympians, here at East Texas Twisters, every child is allowed the dignity to be an athlete.
- 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.
- SAFETY – first, last, and always!
- We break each skill down into a magical stairway of small successes to turn children into “SELF-ESTEEM MACHINES!”
- Our goal at East Texas Twisters is to be a role model for youth-oriented sports organizations, second to none.
