Why Positive Is Powerful

A positive approach gets the most from youth and high school athletes, which is what coaches, parents, and the athletes themselves want. Staying positive also helps youth get the most out of sports.

Encouraging athletes with positive reinforcement helps them hear and heed the necessary corrections. With that winning combination of truthful, specific praise, and constructive criticism, athletic performance improves and so do the chances that kids stick with sports longer and learn all the valuable life lessons inherently available through organized competition.

Testimonials

"We have been at Horizon Gymnastics & Dance Academy for over 6 years. Both of our children started in the Parent & Tot classes. They continued with Tumble Bugs and moved onto the competitive teams. We have found that Horizon is a very special place, an extended family of sorts. Our children love being there and we feel confident

in the excellent training and safe environment provided at this gym.

“The coaches care and treat the gymnasts like individuals applauding and celebrating new skills and encouraging them to continually grow. Individual plans for gymnasts are constantly implemented by the coaching staff. Finally, most of all, the owner and head coach, Shelly Proa is approachable.

“She manages to make personal connections with gymnasts and parents. She will either take the time right there and then, or return a call or text in response to questions or concerns. This personalized and caring approach is what makes the Horizon team a gym we have trusted for our children for many years."

Testimonials

"Our daughter has been attending Horizon for over a year now. At first, I will admit that I was very hesitant. She was not always so open to meeting new people, or following directions the first time and she would get distracted very easily (your typical 4-year-old!) I was totally shocked to sit back and watch how well she was following directions and actually trying during her first few classes.

“She has learned so many skills in such a short time and we couldn't be more proud of her! She now looks forward to attending gymnastics every week. We are able to use this as a rewards system- it always works...she never wants to miss class! Special thanks to Coach Shelly. You really care about your kids here at Horizon and that's amazing!"

Testimonials

"Our daughter started in the Tumblebugs class last month and LOVES it. I had caught a picture of pure joy on face because she finally did the flip and didn't let go of the rings. Her coaches are amazing! Thank you!"

Testimonials

"My two children have been team members at Horizon Gymnastics for many years. Practices are consistent the athletes stay busy learning new skills while having fun! Horizon's coaches have been there for my young athletes, pushing them to set and achieve goals, while rejoicing alongside them as they succeed. Horizon has truly become a second family. We couldn't be happier with our initial decision enrolling our children at Horizon Gymnastics!!"
