The COM Logo Gym and Trampoline Program

 

The Gym and Trampoline program began in 2007.  Gymnastics is an excellent way to train athleticism that can be used in any sport.  Our program at present focuses mainly on younger children, between the ages of 2 and 11.  Come check out our newest addition!

Head Coach: John Proctor

 

JohnJohn began his diving career relatively late, starting as a sophomore at St. Xavier High School in his hometown of Louisville, KY.  From there he went on to compete for Auburn University in Auburn, AL.  An injury cut his competitive career short, but, as luck would have it, the injury marked the beginning of his coaching career.  He coached the age group program at Auburn for a short time before moving back to Kentucky where he coached the Ballard High School program for one season.  From there it was on to Tucson and the University of Arizona, where under the guidance of long time friend and mentor Michele Mitchel (2 time Olympic Silver Medalist), John learned how to really coach.  Since moving to Midland in 1999 John has proved his worth as both an age group and senior level coach, having brought many accolades back to Midland since his arrival.  John and his family proudly call Midland home.

 

 

Develomental Coach: Cory Yeager

 

CoryCory comes to us from San Diego, CA and arrived in August 2008.  Cory grew up in Grand Island, NE, then relocated to Nobelsville, IN in high school.  He competed at the University of Nebraska until 2001 when the men's diving program was cut.  He then went back to Indiana to finish his degree and started coaching.  He took over the Nobelsville program in 2003, where he was a part of the Indianalpolis National Training Center system for four years.  Moving on to California he further honed his skills as a coach with Taylor Made Diving and the Santa Clara Diving Team.  We are happy to have Cory as a part of the COM family!
