Jeff and Michelle Dow are the founders and owners of TEGA Kids Superplex.  Jeff, a native Texas from Austin, began his gymnastics career at historic Crenshaw Athletic Club, where he was a Texas State and Regional champion, as well as a U.S. Junior National Team member.  It must be noted that Gil Elsass, Jeff’s coach and the owner of Crenshaw’s, provided much of the inspiration and blueprint for what TEGA has become today.  After receiving an athletic scholarship to The University of Iowa, Jeff became Team Captain, All Big Ten, and NCAA All-American, as well as earning a spot on the U.S. Senior National Team.  It was at Iowa where Jeff met Michelle, a six-time Regional and Western National qualifier from Denver School of Gymnastics in Denver, Colorado.  After arriving on the Iowa campus on a full gymnastics scholarship, Michelle became Team Captain, a four-year Big Ten Championship event finalist, and Big Ten Bars Champion.  After moving to Lubbock in 1992 to pursue their graduate degrees, the couple’s love for gymnastics and the well-being of children led them to open Texas Elite Gymnastics Academy in 1995.  After successful careers as the Head Coaches of both the TEGA Girls and Boys competitive gymnastics teams, they have concentrated their focus on developing TEGA Kids Superplex into the finest children’s activity center in West Texas.
