KTR is a recreational youth sports center with over 40,000 sq feet of indoor skatepark, gymnastics, parkour and cheer facilities. Franchised in 2015, it is recognized as one of the most progressive training centers available. Facilities are currently located in Mesa and Chandler, AZ, and offer year-round sports camps, programs, lessons and daily sessions for the public. The award-winning facility has been building a legacy since the 1970s when it started with Desert Devils National Teaming Training Center; a competitive gymnastics program which has reigned State Champions for the past 9 consecutive years and has over 35 national champions. The legacy has continued with the success of its skateboard program, which has coached three athletes to the X Games all before the age of 13, two of which hold Guinness World Records.
Kids That Rip is owned and operated by the Eaton family. Geoff Eaton originally started the skatepark for his sons, Jett and Jagger Eaton, and the community at large as an alternative learning environment to public skateparks. The team gymnastics division, Desert Devils, was started by his mother and father, Patricia and Stormy Eaton in the 70s.
