Flip City Academy
Welcome to Flip City’s Gymnastics Academy! We are excited to offer an exceptional training program that offers the best of both online education and athletic achievement. Beginning seven years ago in partnership with Heritage Christian Online School, and now in partnership with the North Island Distance Education System – or NIDES – we’ve provided a top-quality academy program serving students in grades 2-12. With up to 30 students enrolled each year, our academy has been a cornerstone of success for athletes seeking to balance their gymnastics training and education.
The benefits of being part of an academy program are immense. Athletes enjoy personalized, one-on-one coaching, which enhances their development both in the gym and beyond. Our dedicated staff and coaches are committed to giving back, offering support during evenings and weekends to ensure each athlete receives the attention they deserve.
Through this program, our athletes gain more than just gymnastic skills—they develop life skills, discipline, and a strong sense of achievement. We are proud to continue nurturing the next generation of gymnasts in a supportive and focused environment, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for our Gymnastics Academy!
Benefits
School Sport programs provide numerous benefits for athletes and their families. Training during the day allows athletes to be home with their families evenings and weekends, and can allow them to participate in additional activities and hobbies outside of gymnastics. Morning training also optimizes the amount of time athletes are able to train in a low-distraction environment. Having the athletes take classes through the same provider allows for a supportive learning environment with peers, teachers, and educational aides why understand the sport.
