Devo training camp

Flip Force Gymnastics is proud to announce that our Developmental Training Camp will be held June 23rd through the 26th this year.

The 2011 Training Camp is an intense 3 1/2 days of training, developing new skills and refining old ones. It is designed for girls and boys beginning at age 6 through high school that are current team or pre-team members. Gymnasts will be placed in groups according to their level and ability. At Flip Force’s camp each day is filled with hands on training, lecture demonstrations by Olympic Guests or Guest Coaches, and developing memories. It is our goal to have each camper achieve their goals.

Each non-commuting camper will be placed with a loving responsible “host family” of Flip Force. We make every attempt possible to place each child according to age and/or level compatible to that of the child of the host family. The family will be responsible for transportation to and from the gym and all meals not included in the camp. The Camp will have Doug Stibel, interim co-head coach for the Ohio State Buckeyes gymnastics’ team will be present along with our very own 1999 World Team Member—Chris Young, along with our very qualified staff of Flip Force and other guest coaches from various gyms.
