JAM HOPS BOYS TEAM MISSION

We strive to provide the mental and physical discipline needed for competition within a positive reinforcement and encouragement framework. We also hope our program will deliver more than physical and competitive development. We hope your child will learn self-motivation, self-discipline, dedication, determination, good work ethics, time management, teamwork, team spirit, leadership, sportsmanship, respect for danger, others, grace, and poise. When our athletes are “retired” from our team, we hope they have established a base of life skills to assist them through their adult life. A study of athletes in Quebec found that 96% of children say their coach plays a vital role in influencing their thoughts and behaviors, compared to 65% of teachers and 55% of parents. With this in mind, our team coaches take their role in your child’s life seriously. We measure our success not so much by the number of awards and trophies we receive, but rather by what the child takes with them when they leave the sport.

Team competition is significant to our program. Although gymnastics is generally viewed as an individual sport, we try to cultivate the importance of a “Team” by working as a Team. Not every child on our team can be a particular winner, but if we continually improve, we feel that each individual can feel pride and accomplishment in achieving this goal.

Jam Hops is dedicated to developing happy, healthy, confident, and booming children. One way to meet this goal is to place the gymnast at the level where they can be satisfied, safe, and confident. This means athletes must be able to perform the skills and routines (on all six events) required at a given level comfortably. The skills should not be on the edge or beyond their ability. We will never ask or expect an athlete to perform a skill or routine in a competition if they cannot perform it consistently in practice. Since skill level generally determines the level of competition, this will be one of the deciding factors when considering mobility. Other factors will be regarded as attitude, work ethic, and attendance.
