We have been affiliated with OGA for the past nine or so years. My daughters started in the OGA recreational program and are currently on the artistic team. I have served on the board of directors for the past two years. We are proud members of OGA, not just because of the strong coaching that our children receive, but because we believe so strongly in it's mission. We are proud of OGA's focus on serving the community through the All Star program that provides an option for children with special needs. We have thoroughly enjoyed helping when our gym hosts the Special Olympics gymnastics competition. We support the Character Counts program that is not just an annual event but a year-round focus. There is a focus on the team on being a team and supporting one another, not on only achieving individual athletic goals. We are confident that our children are becoming better athletes and better people because they are at OGA.
