The Sartell Sapphire program began in the summer of 2000. It is a non profit organization based out of the Midwest Amateur Gymnastics Association (MAGA). It is in affiliation with the Minnesota State High School League and prepares young gymnasts for high school gymnastics.

The Sapphire program has a board of directors which consists of parents, community members and coaches. This board meets on a regular basis, creates and enforces the rules and policies of the Sapphire program, and incorporates fund raising opportunities for all gymnasts.

All Sapphire practices are held in the Sartell High School gymnastics gym (auxiliary gym). The Sapphire gymnastics program is open only to Sartell area residents that pay taxes to the Sartell-St.Stephens school district. Tuition currently runs $4.00/hour. There is a required $35.00 yearly membership fee. Monthly calendars are distributed to member families and include community performance dates and practice times for all levels as well as meet dates for competitive teams. Monthly tuition statements are distributed by the treasurer. Gymnasts participating on the competition teams will be expected to pay competition fees in excess of regular tuition costs. Gymnasts may participate in the Sapphire Program without being required to compete.
