Virginia Techniques has loads of opportunities to keep your kids active throughout the year. With their new expansion completed, Virginia Techniques offers the largest gymnastics facility in southwest Virginia! They truly have something for everyone.
More Space = More Opportunities
The new 10,000 square-foot expansion is complete at Virginia Techniques, and everyone is flipping out over how it turned out. In addition to the new layout for their Preschool, School Age, NinjaZone, Tumbling, and Trampoline Team programs, the entire facility got some upgrades.
The expansion project brought exciting improvements to the entire space, from new LED light fixtures that are brighter and better for the environment to new equipment. All the existing equipment received a thorough cleaning and resetting.
Though Virginia Techniques had to close for a week during the final stages of the expansion project, the coaching staff took this opportunity to undergo additional coach training. Their goal is to constantly learn and expand their coaching skills to ensure Virginia Techniques offers the highest quality instruction to kids of all ages and levels.
