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.
