Welcome to January at Olympia Hills Families!

December was packed full of festive fun at Olympia Hills! From our exciting Winter Jam to our action‑packed Winter Camps, our gym was filled with energy, smiles, and holiday cheer. As we step into the New Year, we are so excited to share what’s coming up this month, along with upcoming events, competitions, and celebrations you won’t want to miss. Let’s kick off January strong and ready to grow!

IMPORTANT REMINDER: New Class Times

This is a friendly reminder that new class class times are now in effect. Please be sure you selected your gymnast’s new class immediately following their skills check to ensure a smooth transition into the new session.

New Evening Class Times

4:00 PM → 4:30 PM
5:00 PM → 5:35 PM

Why the Change?

Our goal at Olympia Hills Gymnastics is always to provide the highest-quality coaching staff for your athletes. Many of our talented coaches are still in high school and were previously only available during the summer due to late school dismissal times. These new class times have already allowed us to expand and strengthen our coaching team, and we are excited to introduce these amazing individuals very soon.

Please double-check your gymnast’s class level and time to ensure you’re registered correctly. Contact us if you have any questions, we’re happy to help!

Spotlight Coach: Taylor!

This month, we are excited to spotlight Coach Taylor, one of our dedicated Team Coaches who works closely with our Pre-Team and Team Girls programs. Coach Taylor has been part of the gymnastics world nearly his entire life he first got involved in the sport at just three years old and began coaching by the age of 15. With 17 years of coaching experience, he has worked with athletes of all ages, from energetic two-year-olds to collegiate gymnasts.

One of the most meaningful moments in Coach Taylor’s career was being able to coach his oldest daughter on Pre-Team, an experience that perfectly reflects what he loves most about coaching at Olympia Hills Gymnastics working with kids and sharing the sport he’s passionate about, especially alongside his own family. He describes the energy and atmosphere at Olympia Hills as fun, positive, and a place where kids can learn while letting out their energy.

Coach Taylor’s favorite part of coaching is seeing a gymnast finally accomplish a skill they’ve been working hard on, especially the excitement and confidence that shows on their face in that moment. His favorite event to teach is bars, and he says there’s nothing better than spending time on bars with a group of Optionals everyone may be tired, but they gave it their all.

We are proud to have coaches like Coach Taylor at Olympia Hills. Leaders who inspire, encourage, and help gymnasts feel confident, capable, and proud of their hard work.

When it comes to parents considering gymnastics, Coach Taylor’s advice is simple: do it. Gymnastics is an incredible foundation for any sport or activity. He often references the USA Gymnastics slogan, “Begin Here. Go Anywhere.” His goal for every gymnast who leaves his class is that they feel accomplished, confident, and proud knowing they gave their very best.
