Our Coaching Staff
The coaching staff congratulates your child on being selected to be a member of the Fairland Boys Gymnastics Team. It is our privilege to be able to coach/guide your gymnast in the sport of gymnastics and in life. Gymnastics is an extremely difficult sport and to be successful it requires dedication, long hours of practice, and an unwavering sense of commitment. Our motto as coaches is we give 110 percent and therefore expect the same in return. This type of effort we both coach and expect out of our gymnasts in their athletics and most importantly their academics. In order to encourage this mentality, we have developed a family-like atmoshphere that emphasizes the team not the invidividual and ultimately creates a brotherhood amongst the boys and coaches.
