P.G.C. Newsletter - FALL 2008
FALL SESSION
Summer, once again, is in full bloom! It is to be hoped that everyone is having a wonderful time. Weeks filled with fun, excitement and lots of adventures! Even though Fall is in the distance it is time to plan your child's activities. Physical fitness needs to be a priority! Gymnastics has been proven to be the activity that creates the coordination, flexibility, strength and fitness that gives children the basics for all sports and a foundation for a healthy way of life. Offer your child the oppurtunity to take professional gymnastics classes that will enable them to be physically healthy, raise their self esteem, and HAVE FUN at the same time! P.G.C. continues to develop interesting, healthy and fun programs for all!

As always,"the best we can offer our students" is foremost in out minds!

2008 OLYMPIC GAMES
I know many of you were lucky enough to attend Final Olympic Trials at the Wachovia Center. It was the best! The interest is just about ready to peak! Our telephone has not stopped ringing!

The "GYM STORE"
We have a well-stocked Gymnastics store with leotards, shorts, T-shirts, handgrips, and lots of extras. All of your gymnastics needs under one roof.

CLASS STRUCTURE
On the first day of each class our students (5 years old and over) will be skill tested so they can be placed in a group according to their present skill level. This give us the opportunity to give each student more individualized attention. At times we must seperate friends because of a difference in skill levels. We appreciate your not asking to move your child to another group but encourage them to make new friends! Students under 5 years of age will be grouped according to age and compatibillity.
