MISSION STATEMENT
To offer the best gymnastics instruction possible to each child at their level.
At ASI, safety is our top priority. Every decision we make attempts to accentuate the physical, emotional and mental development of the athlete. We hope the gymnast has as much fun as possible while learning at the optimal level. We strive to challenge the gymnast as much as possible, while allowing the gymnast to continue to love the sport!
We believe that outstanding performance is achieved by the accumulation of skill and confidence in a progression. Gymnastics is the best sport in the world to teach this discipline, a quality that benefits a child in gymnastics and in life!
Our teaching priorities are safety, fun and skill acquisition.
The Northern Texas PGA offers a Team Golf Developmental Program which allows junior golfers (ages 7 to 14) to participate in 9 hole tournaments using a team format. It is geared towards the beginning level golfer who has little or no tournament experience and utilizes a format that provides for a less stressful playing environment.
Team Golf is played using a “best-ball” format in which players are paired up with another member of their team. That pair then plays 9 holes using the best score of the 2 players on each hole. This best-ball format allows each player to have a fun competitive experience without the pressures that an individual tournament format can produce.

Each of our locations have over 20,000 square feet of wall to wall trampolines, trampoline dodge ball, unique fun pass activities (bull ride, foam pit, maze, obstacle course, snow slide…go to gotjump.com for more details), designated play area for kids 7 and under and the best birthday parties in town!
Tim Crawford, owner and designer, envisioned a place where everybody in the family can have fun. “I grew up in Denver, born and raised, and I never knew of a place where kids could bounce off the walls without driving their parents crazy. Now they have that place, and the parents can even join them.”
