Since 1976 people have come from as far away as Annapolis, Delaware, and Salisbury because they know that we are SERIOUS -- serious about SAFETY, serious about TEACHING IT RIGHT, and serious about HAVING FUN!
The mission of Clark’s
Gymnastics is consistent with the stated goals of USA Gymnastics, our
sanctioning body.
Þ To

consciousness of human interaction.

synthesize the body, mind, and emotions into a harmonious, balanced, and unified
being, capable of participating in the world’s society with a sense of unity and
integrity.
"Ethan Man"
Gymnastics has been one of the biggest influences on my life and has
been my greatest teacher. It has taught me dedication, loyalty,
determination, and an excellent work ethic. These traits have carried
over from gymnastics and into other areas of my life, including school
and other activities.

THE LITTLE GYM THAT ROARS
At Clark's your child will get quality instruction and programs that leads somewhere. Even though we are small we have over 140 individual state titles, and several team titles in Maryland, and our ground breaking TeamGym program placed 3rd at the 2009 TeamGym National Championship. Several of our gymnasts have also gone on to Collegiate programs and have been on conference or national championship teams. Your child will get the same championship quality instruction that can lead to the national level. So don't be confused by the other clubs that redefine what success is, and be wary about those who use catchy phrases or make excuses about their lack of success or experience. Our students are successful and they live the Olympic dream every day.
All our advanced instructors are safety certified and have had background checks through our sanctioning body - USA Gymnastics and we are a USAG member club. Our classes are structured and organized, not chaotic. This is why every year so many come to us from such great distances. Remember--there must be structure for learning to occur and for children to be safe.
If the gym you are at is not serious about everything they do you're at the wrong place.
IT ONLY TAKES ONE LOOK......so we invite you to visit our gym and see for yourself. We have been enriching the lives of children on the Mid-Shore since 1976. We are so confident in what you will see that we invite you to visit and compare. You will be our guest for a trial class at no cost or obligation. We are confident that you will see the best program for your child.
