Values
Merino Trampoline Gymnastics Academy aspires to be an outstanding educational-athletic program that provides a high-quality experience to every athlete. A high-quality experience is one in which every athlete:

  • Is coached using the principles of positive coaching

  • Has fun while learning

  • Feels like an important part of the team regardless of performance

  • Learns "life lessons" that have value outside the gym

We recognize that the coach is the one who most directly makes this all possible. It is our goal to provide every coach with tools to be successful as a Positive Coach. We are committed to creating a constructive culture in which coaches, parents, fans, officials and athletes work together to achieve our mission.

  • Redefine winning - Winning thru mastery instead of the scoreboard

  • Fill the Emotional Tank - Positive motivation instead of fear, intimidation or shame

  • Honor the Game - Know the Rules, Respect Opponents and Officials, Commit and Encourage your Team, Respect yourself.
