Junior Coaches

You will see a number of Jr. coaches wearing blue shirts during all of the recreational classes at Crescentwood and also with the level 1 competitive group. These are current or past athletes of Corydon gymnastics who volunteer their time every Saturday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday to come help us run our gymnastics program. We hope that they continue on to become gymnastics coaches or are able to learn new life skills and independence which they will continue to use outside of the gym. The jr. coaches at Corydon are an integral part of our gymnastics program and we appreciate all the time they put in to help make our program a success!
