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.

You can jump on a trampoline anywhere. But where else can you jump on a trampoline, and then bounce off a WALL of trampolines?
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.”

We are a LIVE virtual program working to meet the needs of families with children ages 0-5 years. You can explore our classes with our VESS Curriculum – approved by the Florida School Readiness Program and recognized worldwide for its evidence-based approach to the development of the whole child. Our online program provides children 0-5 years old with the richest and most wholesome early learning experience at home. Our professional educators have developed a complete experience-based program that targets all academic areas to get children feeling ready and excited about kindergarten, while having in mind that life goes way beyond academics and should also nurture life-long love for learning, independence and an array of Thinking Skills. Literacy, math and science, are all targeted. We are confident that children learn best through fun, hands-on, minds-on exploration, novelty, collaboration, bonding and connection to real life. These concepts are core to any of our classes. Concept Maps, Graphs, Visible Thinking and other brain-based teaching strategies are utilized to help children truly learn and develop their young minds. Our virtual preschool program fits any family’s schedule, needs and interests. The goal of our program is to promote literacy, mathematical and scientific skills in an engaging hands-on, minds-on format that excites children about learning, getting them ready to thrive in kindergarten and beyond. Children 3-5 years explore academic concepts hands-on and minds-on through cooking, engineering, performing science experiments and exploring books together, allowing them to experience how these concepts work in real life. Our teachers provide a wholesome learning experience that prepares children academically while also developing critical Thinking Skills: a problem solving mindset, creativity and innovation, analytical skills, a love for learning, social skills, and independence. Our complete program provides approximately 2 daily hours of live class time in small groups of 11 children divided by age. All classes are offered in 3 different schedules daily. Younger children are offered shorter class times to fit their levels of readiness and interest, all the while including all of these concepts. We currently offer a 2 week free trial.
Our goal is to provide a competitive youth tackle football league which emphasizes good sportsmanship, integrity and opportunity. These elements will not only help shape your son as a football player and athlete, but also as a young man.
We want to provide freedom and flexibility to our league coaches by providing them the opportunity to cultivate and build their rosters from season to season. We provide our players and families the opportunity to develop tenure with a single team, eliminating the need to start over each season with a new team. The development of all our players both on and off the field is our first priority.
We invite you to be part of our Premier Youth Football League!
