He is Risen!
As we take time to reflect on the resurrection of Jesus, ETC Gymnastics will be closed April 18th–20th for the Easter long weekend.
We pray your family is blessed with peace, joy, and the hope that comes through Christ.
Happy Easter from all of us at ETC!

Why is Warm-Up So Important? ๐คธโ๏ธ๐ฅ
A warm-up isn’t just about waking up the muscles—it’s the foundation for a productive practice! When done intentionally, warm-ups can help gymnasts build:
๐ช Endurance
๐ง Strength & Flexibility
โจ Perfect shapes, ballet basics, and line drills
By setting clear expectations from the start, you’re not just prepping the body—you’re sharpening skills that carry through the entire practice. Strong start = strong finish! ๐ฅ

Update on Olivia Rose:
With a heavy heart, Olivia Rose’s grandmother announced the passing of our beloved gymnast.
Olivia Rose has gone to be with the Lord and her stepfather, who was also involved in the accident. We are deeply grateful for all the prayers, love, and support during this difficult time. Please continue to keep their family in your thoughts and prayers and consider contributing to the GoFundMe to help with their ongoing needs. Thank you.
Urgent Prayer Request:
Dear ETC Family,
I am writing to inform you of a tragic situation involving one of our Tiny Tumblers. Olivia-Rose was involved in a serious car accident on her way to gymnastics. Olivia-Rose is currently in the ICU at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. Olivia-Rose is unconscious and receiving critical care. Tragically, her stepfather has passed away due to the accident, while her mother has thankfully been released from the hospital, but is also facing this unimaginable hardship.
At this time, we ask for your prayers for healing and comfort for the child, as well as strength and support for the entire family as they navigate this devastating situation.
Thank you for keeping them in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. If you are able to give to the family please do. Thank you. LINK IN BIO
๐คธโ๏ธ The Benefits of Hands-On Coaching in Gymnastics ๐คธโ๏ธ
Hands-on coaching is key to helping gymnasts progress safely and confidently! Here’s why:
โ
Safety First: Coaches can guide gymnasts through the correct shapes and movements to reduce the risk of injury and build a solid foundation for their skills.
โ
Confidence Boost: Proper spotting helps gymnasts feel secure while learning new skills. It’s all about finding the balance—spot enough to guide, but also allow them to feel their own strength and progress.
โ
Faster Progress: When gymnasts understand how the skill should feel, they can recreate it more effectively on their own.
A hands-on approach builds trust, confidence, and success in and out of the gym! ๐ช๐ #ETCGymnastics #GymnasticsCoaching #ConfidenceThroughCoaching #eliteeducation #etcrocks

“I have been going to ETC since I was in the 3rd grade. I’m now a Junior in High School. I loved going to gymnastics every week. The coaches were so sweet and patient. They taught me to be confident and helped me build up my strength. They have taught me how to be a good leader and how to be a good teammate. I’m so thankful to have such amazing coaches from the beginning. I started cheering in middle school and began tumbling classes with Coach Dean. He has been my Advanced Tumbling Coach for 6 years and counting. Coach Dean has helped me reach my tumbling goals. He encourages me to dream big and to keep progressing. His coaching style has pushed me farther than i could have imagined. I am so thankful for him and for all of the amazing coaches that have supported me at E.T.C.” -Emma
