We are so happy we found DSG! My daughter has progressed and learned more in the four months she’s been at DSG than she did in two years at the Rock. The staff is kind, attentive, professional and very skilled. DSG is a beautiful community and we are thrilled to be a part of it.

My daughter has been a part of DSG since preschool, and she is now 15. DSG has helped her grow into a strong and confident young woman, she has made lifetime friends, and we have seen not only the physical benefits but the emotional benefits as well. The coaches are very invested in the girls’ overall well-being and are awesome roll models. I can’t say enough good things about the program and staff at DSG.

We have been with DSG for several years. I absolutely love the way they stress the well-being of the child over everything else. The coaches invest greatly in each gymnast while still promoting a whole person mentality. During the pandemic- they have gone above and beyond the local requirements to make sure this facility and the team are safe. It's been a hard year for these athletes, but the family at DSG has continually given us strength and courage. We love this place!

My daughter is the second generation in our family to grow up with DSG gymnastics, and we are eternally grateful! Not only do they offer high quality, competitive gymnastics, but they make it fun and very positive. Their rates are affordable, they do great team building, and their gymnasts enjoy a life long love of gymnastics. We love DSG and feel like family there!
