Together we build a better tomorrow!
We are a growing nonprofit organization in Gainesville, Florida that offers gymnastics and other sports programs to children and young people with varying abilities and needs. Our goal is to give ALL children an opportunity to participate in sports, while encouraging them to realize their unique potential.
Our team is made up of experienced senior advisors from different professional disciplines as well as trained gymnastics coaches, assistant coaches, and volunteers who are all committed to helping each child build self-esteem and confidence. We strive to serve the whole child, recognizing that kids benefit from lots of encouragement, a positive environment, and opportunities to succeed.
And so it began...
August 2012: Launched our first program, the Special Olympics Young Athletes Program, with 14 children.
February 2013: Introduced recreational and adaptive gymnastics programs with access to the gym only eight hours a week and limited equipment.
October 2014: Renovated the gym, gained access to the facility 24/7, and brought in gymnastics equipment with the help of hundreds of volunteers and donors.
Fast forward two years...to today!
With over 77 classes and 500+ athletes, offering recreational, competitive, and adaptive classes our facility had reached its capacity. Efficiency and organization could only take us so far....and it was time to expand. With our neighbors downsizing, the stars lined up and we had the good fortune to lease an additional 5,600 square feet of gym space. Almost double!!
At this point, we have purchased much of the gymnastics equipment, built storage cubbies and a front desk with the help of some amazing volunteers and parents, painted the gym, and finished the overall infrastructure of the "new" side of the gym. To make the Balance 180 gym the place we believe it can be, however, we still need YOUR help!
What we can accomplish with the additional space and your donation...
While your donation helps us expand physically, you are also making an investment in the lives of children. Because of your donation, our young athletes will have the opportunity to be a part of a team, develop important motor and social skills, and HAVE FUN doing a sport. A donation of any size will directly impact the future of children in a positive, lasting way.
