I started out at Sokol when I was 8 years old and a level 5 gymnast. While there were many coach changes when I was younger which could've set me back a little, now sokol has experienced coaches that were able to successfully get me to my goal of being a level 10 gymnast by my junior year of high school. I am now an incoming senior in high school and plan on doing another year of level 10 to try and get on a college gymnastics team. The coaches here are caring and as determined as you to get the gymnast better. I also have been given the chance to coach level 1 team cocoaching at sokol on Saturdays, I've learned so much from the coaches around me and have even attended the GAT coaching conference to learn more about correct coaching and safety. I now very much so consider myself trained, and love the girls I coach every Saturday. We even had our first competition last month for my girls and won the meet as a team and had many top 3 placements!

My kids LOVE this place!! The coaches care about the kids and allow
them to progress at their own pace. Class sizes are small. Tuition is reasonable. This non-profit organization is doing an incredible service for our community by offering Olympic level coaching - while they barely break even. The gym is old, but, hey - its a gym!! FIVE STARS for caring, competent coaches and an overall positive environment.

After attending 3 competitions for level 1 gymnasts, representing Sokol has been a big embarrassment. We have realized how under trained and ill prepared our girls are.
Currently sitting at a competition watching 6 and 7 year olds lead themselves in a warm up. This is mind blowing. Our girls, ranging from anywhere from 8 - 12 have no leader. We look completely unorganized. As the other teams warmed up on the mat, switching their warm up movenent after every round our girls just kept running in a circle about 3 times before they decided to change the movement. The coaches are too busy with the paperwork they had no clue what our girls were doing.
Like every one else has said. This is a money hungry organization. They don't care about the development of their gymnasts.
Communication is the worst. We had to look up other local organizations to find the competition schedule online. If you don't go in and snap a picture of the handwritten note with competition details, you're pretty much screwed. If you call and ask for details, the owner Pauline, freaks out and will take your phone number so she can text you an image of the competition notes.
Thanks for that.
I don't understand why Sokol enters older aged gymnasts into level 1 competitions when the competition is roughly between 5 and 9. Check out the video I posted. This is level 1A with Sokol girls on the left (the tallest girls in the room) competing with the littles. Granted this is the first time I've seen Sokol have littles competing as well.
Ultimately, what this says to me is- everyone who enters gymnastics no matter what age will start at the very basic level. Twelve year old will compete with 5 year olds. This doesn't seem right to me. I can only conclude that is a another way for the gym to make more money. The more classes you take to advance, the more money for the gym.

Need to fix the place up a bit. Not the best gymnastics place my kid has been too. She seems to love it so who am I to stop her from going. Until she says she hates it I'll keep taking her. Yes it's costly to start them. It's only half a mile from my house sure beats driving across Tarrant County to find a gymnastics center. 4 stars for location & my kid enjoys it

Communication is non existent. Coaches would rather play on phone than give attention to gymnast. Equipment looks like it was acquired from a third hand dumpster. More ducktape than anything.
