Meet The Program Director

Amber Jones

My name is Amber Jones and I am the Xcel Gymnastics Head Coach at GAR. I am also the head of the Marketing Team. I have been a dedicated coach since 2013. My extensive coaching experience includes leading Tumbling & Trampoline teams from sub-beginner to advanced levels, as well as Gymnastics teams from pre-team to Platinum and Levels 4-7 in the Developmental Program (DP).

I began my athletic journey at the age of 4 as a Power Tumbling & Trampoline team athlete at J&J, where I trained for three years before transitioning to Gymnastics. By age 7, my potential was recognized, and I was invited to join the TOPs Gymnastics program at GAR. This opportunity ignited my enduring passion for Gymnastics.
