DEAR PARENTS:

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rick Palumbo and I have had the privilege of training elite level athletes for over two decades. These athletes have represented the United States and other countries on their National, World and Olympic Teams. As the founder of Team USA Gymnastics Camp, which featured the most successful athletes and coaches of our time, I was able to promote the benefits of personalized and focused training.

If your daughter is a USAG level 2 and up, all Xcel Levels and GymStars, all USAIGC, YMCA and NGA, and wants to improve her skills, then allow me to extend an invitation to attend an intensive training camp right here at my fully equipped, gymnastics club.

And you can be part of it! Imagine your daughter as one of only 56 athletes. The campers are divided into skill groups and train at least 6 hours each day with my staff and I. We have seen the positive results of focused, goal-oriented training. Results that improve a gymnast's self-esteem, independence and performance abilities. Through this system of positive reinforcement and specific goal setting, we have been able to help place many athletes on their National Teams.

My philosophy has been the same for over 40 years. The Aerials program builds confidence through success. I believe that small successes build confidence. That new-found confidence leads to bigger successes and an even higher level of confidence. Through this progressive "success-confidence-success" method we help children understand how to set realistic goals and then achieve them.

THE GYM

Our 15,000 square foot gym features the latest equipment and training devices available.

The facility includes:

• 2 in-ground, Olympic size, trampolines with overhead spotting harness
• Mirrored dance room.
• Air conditioning.
• Loose foam pit landing pits for vault, floor exercise, tumbling and bars.
• Resi-pit landing surfaces for beam, vault and bars.
• In-ground "Trench Bar" training system for uneven bars.

LODGING

As for accommodations we have two convenient options.

Our out of town campers can bunk in with members of the Aerials Team and their families. The Aerials Team families are great hosts and the athletes make new friends at their "Second" home. Meals, transportation and supervision are supplied by team families throughout the week.

Another option for our out of town guests who travel individually, or as a team, with their gym chaperones, is lodging at the many AB&B's nearby. Meals are close by at a variety or restaurants. We will work closely with you to make sure your stay is pleasant and memorable.

Whatever your choice you can rest assure that your children have quality supervision and safety as campers are under 24-hour observation by either our adult staff in the gym or a club parent, or coach, outside the gym. For all athletes attending, our medical doctor is on call 24 hours a day.

RECREATION

How about recreation? Of course, in order to be successful, we must strike a balance between hard work and recreation. Our rest times are intermingled with activities, like bowling, swimming and rock climbing, and trips that are unique to the Philadelphia area. In addition, we participate in friendship and memory making activities that will last your child's lifetime. However, keep in mind, our number one focus is training and improving your child's gymnastics skill level.

Parents, consider our philosophy and methods when deciding on your daughter's summer training environment. We believe it takes time and energy to learn, improve, and retain gymnastics skills. We are committed to focused, individualized training to achieve specific goals. These athletes should leave the gym having accomplished specific goals.

WHY AERIALS?

Because... You are one of a very small group of gymnasts.

Because... 1 weeks of directed, focused and inspired training

Because... You can train 6 hours each day under some of the country’s best coaches.

Why? Because you want your child to improve!

So, time is fleeting. Please join us for this exciting training opportunity. You will be happy with the results. And with my high energy, high powered staff, you can't go wrong! Call us today to reserve your spot.

See you this summer, Rick Palumbo
