Team Central Gymnastics Academy

My daughter was going to this gym going on 2 years now. We started in the parent and toddler class, took a break and I tried re-enrolling her in the next level class. Within the first month of her being back my 3 year old little girl was already getting bullied by a bigger and older child and end up having a huge knot on her head. They DO NOT enforce their no hitting/bullying policy especially when it pertains to “certain” children. Ive seen them handle bullying differently in the past but nothing was done when it came to my child. Me and my husband’s concerns were completely dismissed. And I refuse to pay for my toddler to get BULLIED. I paid almost 200.00 just to re-enroll her and now I cant even get in contact with anyone. I tired asking for the Director and no one will even call me back they are completely trying to sweep this issue under the rug. If you have children of COLOR I don't recommend this gym as their is obviously unfair treatment taking place. Policies and rules should be enforced fairly not dependent on the “child”. Instead of responding to this review I would love for someone to call me and my husband and address our concerns for our child’s safety with fairness. Thank you

Original review: We took my daughter here to join the team. There was space on the team. She went to three weeks of classes. Everyone was happy until one of the coaches asked my daughter to work in her leotard without shorts, even though she had been wearing shorts for weeks. My wife tried to discuss it with the coaches, but from that point on, she was uninvited. They said there was no room on the team anymore, even though when she called in to discuss, the staff on the phone (who wasn't aware of what happened) said there were actually spaces on the team. She couldn't even join the other team where they had offered her a spot because they were also conveniently out of spaces now. I'm glad we didn't end up here, because anywhere with an issue over an 8 year old wanting to wear gymnastics shorts is not a safe place. Edit post response: from the USAG regulations: "5) Shorts: must be solid black (small manufacturer’s branding allowed) with no embellishments. Shorts must be worn over a leotard and the length must be above the knee or shorter." 1) "Not Allowed" is no longer the case. USA Gymnastics is the one who sets those rules, correct? They announced this change over a year ago. Is it standard for such a "top tier gym" to be so behind on the rules changes nationally? Can you give me one good reason why a girl can't wear shorts in your gym when it's allowed nationally at competitions? 2) Your claim of available spaces for coach ratios don't line up when we call the gym AFTER we've been told that there are no spaces and the actual employee on the phone says that there are. We also checked with the other team that had spots multiple spots available, and they magically, simultaneously all filled up after we had been there for 3 weeks? Sorry, that doesn't add up. I'll continue to repost this if my review doesn't seem to show up when I have third party people go to google and can't see it.

We've had 3 girls go through Team Central. They started in the classes and went on to either the JO or Xcel teams. We now have been with the TC family for almost a decade. The coaches can be demanding, but it's to make the kids better and keep them safe. All of the coaches we've interacted with care about the gymnasts, are experts at what they do, and want to see the gymnasts succeed. Thank you, TC!

3 of my daughters are gymnasts at Team Central; 2 on the competitive team and one in the team prep class. We have been doing gymnastics at TC since 2020 and absolutely LOVE everything about it! Staff is wonderful, accommodating and kind to us. The coaches are high-quality and very educated in their craft. My girls progress in their skills and have so much fun at every practice/class. All 3 of my girls have come so far since we started at TC and I am so grateful for the gymnastics, life skills and confidence that they learn/gain from the opportunities they have at TC. We wouldn’t want to be anywhere else!
