Boys Competitive Teams
A Message from Mark Seyler, SGA Owner and Boys Coach:
As a lifelong gymnast and former member of a great junior men's gymnastics program, I had a vision of the SGA Men's Gymnastics Program long before we opened the doors here in Southlake. After recently completing our third competitive season I am confident in saying that our team is well on its way to meeting that vision. Our team has continually grown over the past three years with over 50 competitive boys today. Many of our boys have won gold and others haven't yet but one thing is consistent, all the boys LOVE gymnastics! This is important for our coaches and parents as we know that men's gymnastics is a long term commitment and if the boys don't love what they are doing, they aren't going to achieve their potential. Gymnastics is a great sport with benefits in teaching the boys discipline, respect, pride, confidence, individuality, and team work. Some of these boys may vie for college scholarships and even Olympic accolades. Every boy on our team commits to do their very best each and every day and our coaching staff is here to support them in achieving their own potential.

As an active member of the SGA Boys Team coaching staff Mark works closely the rest of the coaching staff to help ensure our training plans and overall approach to gymnastics are as efficient and effective as possible.

Since flipping is in Morgan's blood, he's decided to expand his role to include coaching so he can continue to sharing his love for the sport.
