Why Choose JETS?
There are other wonderful gymnastics programs for children in Rochester and the surrounding area and while we are not entirely familiar with the procedures and policies of each and every one, we can tell you why we believe that JETS is so special. JETS has a clear, defined mission: "to nurture and educate students and families to the sport of gymnastics and to create an environment of support, encouragement, and fun."

We offer a wide array of programs (from just walking toddlers, to kids with Olympic aspirations) all of which are innovative, educational and fun. Likewise, we employ coaches with five star credentials in the gymnastics community who care about the development of happy, healthy, smart, good children. Additionally, our clean, state of the art gym is large, (twice the size of most gyms in this area) and outfitted with top of the line equipment all designed with safety in mind. Furthermore, we have a spacious parent viewing area with tables, chairs (no bleachers here!) and FREE wireless internet access.

JETS has a sibling play area as well as tables available for quiet study. Finally, JETS has clear, family friendly policies and a complete dedication to providing the very best gymnastics experience for you and your family.

We believe we offer the best programs for children, in a state of the art facility designed for the delight of children participating and the adults who bring them.

Programs for All Ages
For our preschool age children, JETS offers an area of the gym just devoted to your tiny athletes. We have special equipment designed for their smaller hands, and feet filled with specially designed, and colorful mats. Come in and see for yourself!!

For our School Age children here at JETS we are pleased to offer an innovative curriculum based on the USAG Jr. Olympic Program as well as child developmental standards. The JETS curriculum is designed to provide a non-competitive achievement-oriented program of progressive skills, conditioning, flexibility, attitude and character. Your child will be certain of his/her progress because of the many accomplishment awards given at our in house meets 4 times a year, and the individual progress reports parents may ask for in the office to see how their child is developing in their class.

Our Staff
We have a rigorous hiring process and candidates-for-employment are required to complete a training course that includes units on a skill specific to teaching gymnastics as well as children's physical, emotional, and character development. Of course, JETS coaches are USA Gymnastics Certified and American Red Cross certified. They all also participate in monthly training sessions and attend clinics and seminars to further their teaching abilities. Finally, all JETS staff have access to the JETS staff library, which contains a wealth of information on the latest training techniques and theories of a child's development.

Why Gymnastics for my child?
Gymnastics is not only a sport for children who want to be gymnasts. Gymnastics is the foundation of all sports. Gymnastics develops physical strength, speed, flexibility, agility, coordination, grace, and balance. Children who take gymnastics at a young age much more easily transition to playing soccer, tennis, baseball, basketball, or football. Children who are gymnasts have a distinct advantage in dance, diving, cheerleading, and even acting. The best reason your child should be a gymnast is because gymnastics prepares your child for a lifetime of fitness.

Clearly, gymnastics is the best sport there is as a basis for all sports and for general physical fitness.

Study after study confirms that kids involved in sports, including the sport of gymnastics, are more likely to stay away from drugs and alcohol, score higher on achievement tests, stay in school, have greater self esteem and live a healthier lifestyle. We believe that children involved in a healthy athletic environment will develop coordination, relationship skills, discipline, humor, perspective, teamwork and leadership. And these kids just think they are having fun.

Competitive Gymnastics
The JETS competitive program is coached by George Gorgoi, Valentin Buse,two internationally recognized coaches. JETS also limits the size of our team in order to assure proper attention is paid to each athlete. Our gym is outfitted with the very best equipment available for training; including ultra flex Elite beams, 2 loose foam pits, two spring floors (tumble tracks), 2 in ground trampolines, and an incredible array of vault training apparatuses.

Additionally JETS has frequent evaluations with a certified USA Gymnastics Judge and frequent guest coaches to offer clinics for our athletes, including speeches about psychology, and nutrition. JETS believes that successful, high level competitive gymnasts can come from a program based on positive coaching.

While we support children who set their goal to the Olympics, we are always concerned with the whole development of the athlete and encourage them to balance gymnastics, and other important aspects of life.
