MEET OUR STAFF:
When you drop your child off at Schutz Gymnastics, you can rest assured that your child will always be supervised by an experienced professional staff member. Your child's class will always be taught under the direct supervision of our program directors, Pat and Bob Schutz, or an experienced master instructor. Master instructors need to have teaching experience, demonstrate proficiency in knowledge of skill progressions, trained in USAG Safety procedures, and CPR.
Supporting our master instructors, in our chain of instruction, are our assistant instructors and student assistants. Under the direction of our master instructors, they will help maintain a safe instructional environment, provide encouragement, feedback and monitoring of skill reinforcement practice.
We have the pleasure of knowing all of our Master instructors, since they were young children. They all began gymnastics with us.
Every class is supervised by a USAG Safety and CPR trained instructor.
