Enroll in gymnastics with Elizabeth Ray this Fall.


Hello, I’m Elizabeth Ray, a life-long member of the First United Methodist Church.  I’m a graduate from Southern Arkansas University with a Master’s of Science of Counseling and Master’s of Education.  I’m the Aquatic Center Coordinator for SAU and adjunct instructor for water aerobics, land aerobics, and lifeguarding. I am the owner of Rock-N Roll Studios gymnastics/cheerleading and have been coaching for over 20 years.  It’s a blessing for me to be able to share my passion of coaching gymnastics, and I look forward to teaching basic gymnastics skills this upcoming school year. Goals for this program include: gross motor skills, coordination, balance, and discipline. We also focus on strengthening the body to ensure safety while participating in physical activities.


In Christ,

Elizabeth Ray
