CPG Building Photos

It's Crunch Time!

A lot happening at CPG! Our team has grown to 40 girls! We continue to train at West Chester University and all the girls are doing well. They are bonding well as a team and our coaches are doing a fantastic job! At the building we have walls and windows in the lobby. Next the drop ceiling, tile, carpet and fixtures. Equipment from Mancino is being delivered August 18th. Plans for the Platforms are being drawn up. We are hoping to have all things open and running the last week in August. Open Houses the first weeks in September. The Upper Chichester Community day is set for September 6th with gym tours and sign ups. We have over 100 recreational students signed up and over 150 cheerleaders signed up to tumble! Wow! I am amazed at all that God has done! Here are a few photos. It's really coming together everyone!

Roth's CrossPoint Gymnastics

HERE IT IS!!!
Our new baby. Our vision. Our Dream. This beautiful 20,000 square foot building is the new home of Roth's CrossPoint Gymnastics! This will be a place where kids of all ages will learn gymnastics....of course. They will have fun flipping and jumping, laughing & making friends. Working hard together.
It will also be a place where kids are encouraged and challenged to reach goals that they never thought they would reach.
It will be a place where kids do well in gymnastics...and live well in life.
It will be a place where older kids are mentors to the younger ones. They will be encouraged to set good examples...and the young ones will look up to them and learn from them.
It will be a place where coaches excel and learn. Where they learn to care for kids using the gifts they have been given. Gifts to teach, gifts to be patient, gifts to show compassion...and gifts to teach excellent gymnastics.
It will be safe. It will be bright. It will be a safe haven. A second home for some. A first home for the Roth family.
The name you ask? It must be Roth's. John Roth, Bill's dad coached him until Bill went off to college. He had a tremendous impact not only on his son, but on many other boys & girls in the 30 years of gymnastics coaching. Bill also has a Pommel Horse skill named after him. He was the first man to score a perfect '10' in Men's National Championship history as well as a 5 time National Champion.
CrossPoint...Separately, they are gymnastics terms. The Iron Cross on Rings...which ironically was always the greatest obstacle for Bill with his long arms. And Point...you must always point those toes!
But mostly, CrossPoint speaks of our faith. A journey through gymnastics highs & lows, which ultimately pointed us to the fact that we are not in control in this life. And that we believe that the way we live our life...in and out of the gym, will point people to the hope, grace & mercy that we have found. Many times we will fail. Many times we will be poor examples, but it is our mission. And we know that even through failures, weaknesses and fears...there are lessons to learn and ways to grow. We pray many will come and grow with us. "Be STRONG and COURAGEOUS and DO IT!".

Roth Family Update

Wow! How fun it was looking back on all the old posts from 2008-2012! So much has happened since then so I thought I would update this lonely blog as we head into 2015. From 2012 to July of 2014 we were at the Delco Gym.
In the last post on this blog I shared how much of a blessing it was to have been given that opportunity to run a gymnastics business. After all that had happened...I still believe it was the Lord's plan for us. Being at Delco we met some pretty wonderful people. The staff, the kids, the parents and all the families. We made friends with many and learned so much about business and customer service.
It was also extremely difficult for our family. We faced many trials, many of which we cannot share. We believe the Lord used Delco to teach us how to love, how to fail, how to be humble and how to be bold. He taught us about finances, accounting, websites, registration, PayPal, and insurance. He taught us how to love the unloveable and difficult. How to care for hurting people. How to be patient, how to be calm, how to say sorry and how to forgive. When to let things go and when to stand up for what is right and good. The past two years have grown our marriage and our parenting. And now...I am so glad God closed that door.

In October we began our own gymnastics business, Roth's CrossPoint Gymnastics. We are negotiating for a 20,000 sq. foot facility in BOOTHWYN PA. We hope to begin construction in January. I cannot write down here all the times the Lord has met us through this journey. Through His word there was Joshua, all the Psalm, Isaiah, the book of James. Through our friends, prophetic words, encouragement, prayers, hugs. Through our family, texts, groceries, encouraging words, financial gifts. We are so grateful. Every word has been a sign to push forward to begin our own gym.
He gave us a vision. Provide an environment for kids to do well and LIVE well. Coaches providing excellent teaching through enthusiastic and encouraging coaching. A haven for hurting kids and families. A home away from home to grow strong minds and bodies. A family business with a firm foundation. We await patiently and at times, not so patiently. We trust in God's timing...but can you hurry God!?
I am still homeschooling. Madison is in 8th grade. Still loves reading and drawing...and her video games. She is growing into a sweet, beautiful young lady. She gave her life to Christ at Youth Camp in August and we see God moving in her life. Adrienne is in 5th grade. She is not a big fan of school but continues to persevere. She is an excellent gymnast and won Nationals on beam in June. She is an amazing beam girl. Determined and focused! She amazes me! Matthew is in 4th grade and does well. He loves video games and more video games. He also started gymnastics training which he enjoys as well. We hope to have a boys team at CPGsohe will be excited to have new 'brothers' to hang out with.
Well that's mostly everything. Here are a couple pics from our Disney Cruise in August. Yep...even in the midst of this trial God provided a family vacation. God is faithful and good!
