Summer NEWS Erie Gymnastics has had a really busy Summer. The following are some of the things we've been doing! 1. EGC West has been Renovated! We have a brand new Gym/Cheer Floor & a brand new 30' Tumble Trac! 2. EGC hosted 2 Summer Camps. Both were very successful, and our Team Camp hosted over 25 athletes from other clubs as well as our own teams. 3. EGC has performed at Harborcreek Days / National Community Day (Wesleyville) / Picnic in the Park (North East) / Jerry Uht Park.... We've been tumbling all over town. 4. Hannah Walters (Rhythmic Gymnast) Ranked 7th at the National Championships and Qualified again to the VISA Championships in Boston, MA. GOOD LUCK HANNAH! 5. It's been awhile, but EGC should have 4 gymnasts competing Level 10 (Big Gun Gymnastics) this season. They are working their butts off! 6. It's been a really hot summer this year, so we've taken lots of popsicle breaks. We've gone through 4,000 popsicles so far, and that has to be a record of some kind! 7. We've had a lot of positive feedback on the show. Someone downloaded it to youtube, so I put a link here if you want to see the opener... EGC Show 2010 |

WELCOME NEW STUDENTS If this is your first time visiting our site, Welcome. There is a myriad of information about gymnastics on the tabs up above. EGC is the largest 'Acro Sports' program in Erie, with 2 gyms to serve both sides of Erie. We accept students age 18 months thru adults both Boys & Girls. Children enter for a variety of reasons, and our programs are geared as such. Many young children enter for structure & school readiness. Our small friendly classes accomplish this. Many children have special needs such as social development or physical motor skill development. Again, we do wonders in these areas. Cheerleading has really evolved over the years, and now most teams require Tumbling just to make the squad. EGC is works with most of the High School & College squads and individuals all over the city. This year we opened a new sister organization - CheerVibe All Star's for Hot Shot Competitive Cheering. We also work with what we call X-Gamers which are pretty much any other sport that needs flipping & enhanced motor skill development... Skiers, BMX, Skaters, Stateboarders, Divers, Karate, Circus, Cheer.... Mostly, we are about FUN & FLIPPING. Most kids naturally gravitate toward the experience we provide here at Erie Gymnastics. Almost ALL Kids love to tumble, climb, run, jump, bounce... and like Tiggers, "That's what we do best!" Our TV commercial is entitled "Bouncing off the Walls". It's geared toward parents who are tired of having their houses turned upside down and the bed & couch being used as a Trampoline. Some of these kids fall in love with Gymnastics, and eventually get recruited for our Prestigious "Team Lightning" Competitive Gymnastics Team. Hard to believe in Erie, but we have some of the best athletes in the Nation training right here! Gymnastics has its own curriculum & systems. Gymnastics for example uses levels, similar to grades of school. Beginner students start at Level 1, and we break that down by ages (Preschool (age 3 & 4) Kinder (age 5 & 6) and Beginner (age 7+)) Level 10 Gymnastics is what you typically watch on TV. EGC offers every level of training for both Men & Women. Most of you reading this will start in the Level 1 (Beginner) programs. If you have had some Acro experience either at another gym or dance studio, please schedule a 'free' evaluation where we can determine which class level is best for your child. Although Gymnastics is a 'year round' sport, most newcomers think of Gymnastics as a 'back to school' type sport. Thus, most new students start with the school year at the beginning of September. If you are reading this now, this is the time to sign up. The process is fairly simple - Call the gym (814) 898-2936 and schedule a time to come in and Register. I would invite you to just stop in, however our summer hours are confusing, and we do not have office staff at both gyms simultaneously. At the gym you can tour the facility. It is good to let your child see the gym first, and they are not so apprehensive that way. At the gym you can fill out a Registration / Release Form, then select one of our many convenient classes. We keep really small classes so there is a lot of one on one work. Signing up earlier is better. Because our classes are small (8:1 student - teacher Ratio), many of our prime time classes fill fast. Once the class is full, we add more classes, however the times become less convenient. As mentioned before, the above links will provide more specific information like what to wear, our schedules, staff.... If you have any questions, please feel free to call the gym, or there is a direct link to my website at the bottom of each page. Thanks for considering Erie Gymnastics Center, and hope to hear from you soon! Douglas Pershun Program Director |
