Executive Directors
Mr. Rod graduated from Chambersburg Area High School in 1981.
At a young age, he developed a passion for gymnastics, especially tumbling, and began teaching himself in his backyard. He was a born teacher, “giving lessons” to friends in his yard. He was in the Starlets, participating in many parades, in several roles, but his favorite and most recognized as an acrobat. His official training began at the YMCA under accomplished gymnast Tom Seward, where he also started his teaching career. From there, as they say they say the rest is history. Mr. Rod has taught generations of gymnasts throughout our forty-five years, and we are incredibly proud to see those children and grandchildren, along with new children, come through our doors with the same excitement that Mr. Rod had all those years ago. Certifications and experience include: 35 years of teaching gymnastics . USAG Professional Member, USAG Regional and National Congress Trainings.
