Guiding our Athletes to greater heights
USAG Development Program
Want to learn more about Hybrid Motion's Devlopment Program Team (Levels 3 & 4)? Join us for one of our Explore workshops! Register on our Event Calendar or arrive early to attend. Team Coaches will be there to chat about the difference between Dev and Xcel, preliminarily evaluate gymnasts to give placement suggestions and meet prospective new team members and their families. **We are considering a Level 6 team - come chat with Coach Doug about the possibilities
USAG Xcel Program
Our USAG certified coaches work with our girls in an encouraging and positive way to help them gain the skills necessary to have fun and build confidence by competing at USAG Xcel meets. The Xcel program was developed as an alternative to USAG Development Program in an effort to give more gymnasts the opportunity to compete. Gymnasts can compete sooner and with less time comitment in Xcel. There is also the ability to customize routines to better fit each gymnast's skill strengths.
Our goal is to work together to build eachother up!
To get more information about Xcel Team and how to join, browse our website or email us.

Meet Carolyne Burdick, a passionate gymnast turned coach, whose heart beats for the thrill of gymnastics. Graduating with degrees in Psychology and Kinesiology from Montana State University, her love for the sport has only deepened over the years.
Carolyne's journey in gymnastics began as a young athlete, twirling through the air with determination and grace. As a coach since the age of 16, she now finds fulfillment in helping others experience the same joy and confidence that gymnastics brought into her life.
For Carolyne, coaching is more than just teaching routines; it's about nurturing growth and self-assurance in her students. Drawing on her studies in Psychology, she understands the importance of mental resilience and encourages her gymnasts to believe in themselves both on and off the mat.
But her dedication doesn't end with the athletes alone. Carolyne takes delight in working with families, recognizing that a strong support system at home is essential for a child's progress. By building a close-knit gymnastics community, she aims to create an environment where both gymnasts and their families can thrive together.
Through Hybrid Motion, Carolyne's mission is to ignite a love for gymnastics in her students and witness them achieve new heights. Seeing the spark of accomplishment in their eyes as they conquer challenges fuels her passion and drives her to improve the lives of everyone she encounters through the sport she cherishes.

My name is Doug Oldham (Coach Doug), and I am excited to be a new coach at Hybrid Motion. I have been coaching preschool, recreational, and competitive gymnastics for 24 years, including developmental levels 1-10 and Excel levels, Bronze through Platinum. I am originally from Montana, but have had the opportunity to coach in Alaska, Washington, and Oregon. This has given me the chance to collaborate with coaches from across the nation, including many at the Olympic level. During my time in Oregon, I developed and coached a successful Ninja program for both boys and girls. I do my best to meet the diverse needs of all students, while capturing the motivation needed to reach their individual goals. I have the ability to maintain a fun and well-disciplined class where each student feels special, cared for and successful.
I have been married for 27 years to my wife Monika, who is a teacher at Saddle Peak Elementary. We are incredibly happy to be back in Montana and I am looking forward to working with you and your athletes.

Gymnastics was a major part of my childhood. All five of my siblings and I did gymnastics in some capacity. If we weren't at the gym, we were at home making up routines and working on skills. I competed through Level 7 and coached all through High School and most of College. I moved to Bozeman in the fall of '23 with Ryan, my spouse. Alt

I competed through Level 7 and coached all through High School and most of College. I moved to Bozeman in the fall of '23 with Ryan, my spouse. Although I now work full-time with an engineering company, I love keeping gymnastics in my life by coaching both Advanced Rec and Team Gymnastics at Hybrid Motion. In my free time you can usually find me doing something outdoors - hiking, skiing, camping, rock climbing or working out at my cross-fit gym.
