Tidewater Gymnastics Academy

TGA is owned by two Norfolk natives whose love for gymnastics inspired them to open the only gymnastics school located in the great city of Norfolk. Coaches share this love for the sport and are enthusiastic, positive role models for children.

While nurturing the desire to learn and improve in every possible way, we encourage each child to reach his/her potential both as athletes and individuals. TGA is located in the heart of Hampton Roads in the great city of Norfolk.

Our Xcel team is broken down into 4 levels – Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. The rate at which girls progress through levels varies depending on the gymnast. Girls can expect to spend 1-2 years at each of the Bronze and Silver levels, but many will spend 3 or more years at Gold before moving into Platinum.

Athletes enrolled in the TGA Xcel Program practice year-round for 6-9 hours per week (2-3 days). Our highest level gymnasts practice 12 hours per week (4 days). Our Xcel competition season starts in January and finishes in May with the home meet or state competition. Typically, the girls compete in roughly one meet per month.
