We Are On a Mission to Raise the Bar For Grassroots Sports in Canada, One Tiny Athlete at a Time
We were the first to create a sports program that supports both kids and their families. Gymnastics is the sport that offers athletes the best coordination, control, and agility. We designed an Enriched Gymnastics Program that sets kids up with the self-confidence and skills they need to thrive in all sports and activities.

What We Believe In
We are obsessed with learning & growth
We understand that in order to grow our organization we need to grow ourselves first. We focus as much on personal development as we do on professional achievements.
We are radically self-aware
When we are invited into the life of a child we take it seriously and NEVER take the opportunity for granted. We believe that our behaviours, actions and words can profoundly impact a child and shape their future.
We are the ultimate team players
We love collaboration and we always build each other up, cheering on victories and laughing at our mistakes. We love new ideas and seeing the world from a new perspective.
We believe in active participation
We know that every individual has something valuable to offer. We create safe spaces where everyone can thrive and develop systems that support everyone to contribute.
We always bring our best
Our clients, team, and community deserve nothing less.
We keep our inner child alive and strong
We know that play is the best way to learn. We find fun in every situation and never forget to stay curious and playful.
Self-confident kids who thrive in all sports
We Can Do Better
It’s not easy to step out into the world of sports and say “We can do better” but that’s what our Founder, Jennifer Hood, did when she opened the doors of Jump Gymnastics in Yaletown, Vancouver over 15 years ago after the birth of her second daughter.
Jennifer Hood recognized that sports organizations were falling short and were not willing to act fast enough to support young children. There was too much pressure, too much emphasis on “natural” skills, and not enough support for the coaches that really wanted to make a difference.
We designed an Enriched Gymnastics Program that gives children the self-confidence and skills that they need to thrive in all sports.
