Xcel Coach

SGA Coaches are responsible for:

• Teaching progressive gymnastics classes in our Xcel Program. Many of our instructors work in multiple departments, teaching a wide range of ages and levels. SGA Team Coaches demonstrate a commitment to a safe, positive environment where our athletes can compete, develop, and flourish.
• Creating your own lesson plans and tracking skill development. We provide the resources, but you get to be creative in how you want to teach your gymnasts. We offer state of the art equipment – both on the gymnastics floor and technology- so you have the tools you need to be successful.
• Communicating with SGA parents about their child’s progression in your classes. Our coaches play a key role in their development as a child and as an athlete.
• Participating in our paid training opportunities. This can include our SGA University courses, USA Gymnastics clinics, sessions offered by our in-house SGA trainers, and more!
• Assist in light cleaning duties to keep our gyms fresh and ready for the next round of classes.
• Compliance with COVID-19 protocols, which includes additional screening and cleaning steps to maintain SGA’s safe and healthy environment.
