Our Mission Statement

The mission of Hawkeye Gymnastics is to provide a self sustaining gymnastics program, promote the value of gymnastics as a means of human development, and encourage safe participation and excellence in all aspects of gymnastics.

Our Goal

Provide the facilities, equipment, coaching and program to enable every gymnast to reach their full gymnastics potential.

Through the sport of gymnastics we:

• Help children to appreciate their innate worth.
• Help children to love learning and accept challenges.

Our belief is that children should learn in a positive environment.

There is a new gymnastics facility in the near future of Hawkeye Gymnastics and while it will not be the final home for our gymnasts and programs, it is still going to be a tremendous gymnastics training facility.

In additions to the new gym building and equipment, there will be new training programs implemented for all levels and additional staff training to assure your gymnasts of getting the best gymnastics training.

Hawkeye Gymnastics hosted and innovative gymnastics clinics for its coaches, staff, team gymnasts and parents this last weekend. The clinic was run by John Howard, the creator of GymnasticsZone.com and author of 26 books, mostly about gymnastics.

The clinic featured 8 sessions for coaches, 4 sessions for team gymnasts and a special session for parents of team members. All in all, the clinic provided 36 hours of training for the various groups in a four day period.

John Howard also met with new Hawkeye Gymnastics Academy owners, Dan Coon and Blake Kittrell and discussed plans for the new facility and program coming soon.

Participants who attended the clinic are for a short time being offered special discounts on related products and can view and purchase them at GymnasticsZone.com.
