Celebrating Rick Schwarz's Legacy

Since 2000, Rick Schwarz—or “Coach,” as you probably know him—has positively impacted hundreds of young people’s lives as Gym-Masters head coach. As he approaches retirement at the end of this school year, we want to recognize Coach’s long career and celebrate his legacy and commitment to the team over the past 22 years. Alumni are invited to attend Coach's last Home Show, April 8-10.

Coach has given so much to the Gym-Masters family and has built a strong foundation for future generations of gymnasts. To recognize his legacy, we invite you give a gift to help establish an endowed scholarship in Coach’s name that will provide scholarships to future Gym-Masters.

Together, let’s show our appreciation for the powerful role Coach has played in so many lives.
