About US
We believe that gymnastics is fun and kids of all ages and abilities will learn to succeed. It is through achieving success while having fun at the same time, that children become excited rather than intimidated, by physical activity. We believe that we are creating a generation of participants rather than observers. Did you know that gymnastics is also the best sport for developing the physical abilities necessary in every other sport. Strength, flexibility, coordination, balance and kinesthetic awareness are a few of the areas that are enhanced by gymnastics participation. The lessons learned and the skills mastered through gymnastics apply not only to all other sports, and the performing arts, as well as the life long pursuit of pure excellence. So whether your child is a future gymnastics star, or just wants a strong base for other athletic endeavors, Terry and Don’s is the place to start.
Walking the straight and narrow can lead to a wide and open future. Gymnastics provides young children with the skills they need to build a successful future, the courage to explore unique talents, the confidence to set lofty goals and the creativity to reach those goals. Above all, gymnastics develops the discipline to archive and the ability to concentrate on where they are going. If you would like your children to learn to walk straight and narrow, give them the goal of placing one foot in front of the other, the gift of learning, the challenge of … gymnastics.

Shannan Holzopfel
Coach
Shannan Holzopfel At age three, I took my very first dance & tumbling class. I came home and announced to my parents that when I grew up, I wanted to be ‘Miss Shannan’! Dream fulfilled!!!! I have degrees in Classical Ballet and Physical Education Management. I taught ballet/physical education to kindergarten & first grade in the public school system before being sent (by the CCU staff) to Terry & Don’s. I am a USAG Level 1-4 certified skill evaluator, U100 & U110 certified and have maintained my USA Gymnastics Safety Certification since 1992 while coaching/teaching. When I started here in 1989, we had about 45 preschool students. From this little group, our business grew and we developed our instructional & competitive team programs. In the beginning, I taught all of our preschool & instructional classes, coached levels 4-9 and did all optional choreography floor & beam routines. As the business changed, so did my responsibilities. I became the preschool/instructional director and continue to focus my time & energy on those programs today, while also coaching our developmental levels in the team program.
