Kauai Gymnastics
Academy (KGA) is proud to be the
only gymnastics facility on the beautiful Garden Island of Kauai. It is
co-owned and operated by Jack Leonard,
formerly of Hill’s Gymnastics Training Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland,
and his wife Kay.
At
KGA, we strive to convey our passion for
gymnastics in an appropriate age-specific manner. We believe that
each child learns at a different rate and that success is marked in
small steps not big leaps. We also believe that the best coaches
know how to break a trick down more ways than someone else, so if saying
it ONE way isn't getting the message across, then we need to come up
with a different way to convey it. We also believe that it's OKAY
to make
mistakes! What we
don't want them to do is to make the same mistake over and over
again. That means they are not trying to fix it, they are just learning it
wrong. We encourage them to try something different to fix the
trick and that's why we work hard to be able to explain it different
ways. Last, but definitely not least, we want kids to have FUN!
The gymnastics and fitness will come along for the ride.
KGA is located in the Puhi Industrial Park, Lihue,
HI. Our equipment includes many different sizes/types of beams, a
TrampTrak, a 39' TumblTrak, two sets of bars, three different
sizes of back handspring trainers, a handstand trainer for bars, a
pommel horse trainer, a mushroom trainer, spotting belts, a rings "dream machine," a leg stretching device, miscellaneous
cheese and other mats, and a floor ex
area flanked by three large mirrors.
We invite you to look at the
current schedule for our class
listings. Our classes include recreational gymnastics for ages 3
to adult, tumbling and conditioning for Cheerleading, and Parent & Tot classes
for ages 1 - 3.
We also
have three different non-competitive teams.
Whether you are just visiting the island with your Club gymnast looking
for a place to workout, or you are an island resident with children who
are turning cartwheels in your living room, we offer a place to hone or
learn gymnastics skills. Come visit us! We make it FUN to be FIT!
